Drama...

Fair warning, this post is pretty much a high-school-rant.
My mother is stalking my social network account. Now she is reading up on my friends' pages. Geez, I quit stalking them and she takes up the slack.
She knows the rules... My life and family life are to remain separate. I give an inch, she is going to take a mile. The reason this bugs me? She's asking why I posted such and such on a friend's page, why I "like" the updates, and has likely requested everyone as a friend of hers.
Very few of my buds have had to deal with my parents. Neither of my parents got to know the few guys I have seen. I tried very hard to not tell the last guy I dated about them, and give him a chance to get to know them if things progressed that way. My mother is waging an attack.
We had a long talk a few weeks back, where I basically told her to not ask when she is getting a grand-baby because I am just giving up on the idea of being coupled. I need to work on me, and I am sick of being the aggressor. If the guys aren't brave enough to ask me out, forget it. So she asked about the last guy I dated... I told her to let it go, like I had. Recently, she hinted for me to ask for a resume of his.  Apparently, she is smitten with him. Can't blame her, but want her to quit it. She made a point to tell me she was hurt that I kept the guys as secrets. Though we are a lot better than we have been in years, possibly a decade... She crossed a line I thought we had agreed upon. Her behavior is further guaranteeing me not discussing this topic with her... ever.
Whether he sees this or not...  I'm sorry.
To the other buds, friend her if you want... just keep in mind that with me taking away her dream of grand-babies, she's going to ask when she can babysit yours. Don't be surprised if she is making you a baby blanket.
So, in case you're questioning... No, I am not signing up for a dating site. It was an error when I tried it, and will likely yield the same results. I'm on a break, of sorts. If a guy asks, I might go out. But for now, I'm not hunting. My friends are my dates. I am loving my Girls' Dinners!!!!
