Me: It's a nice day out
Her: well, it would be if it wasn't windy
Me: grand daughter is coming to visit you
Her: well, she's just coming to see the place. (We recently moved)
Its subtle but its constant. And its annoying
glad you managed to notice, these things really sap one's self esteem in an undetectable way
Has she always been that way, or is it just her age? Sometimes older people just get that way. Its still annoying, but easier to put up with if it is that.
I'm not sure, we don't have a close past history but it just may be that she's always been that way. As Peaches says, it has a way of sapping one's self esteem.
