CONFLICTED

My mother-in-law (god bless her!) drives me crazy. She always agrees to tea when she comes over and then drinks no more than one sixteenth of the glass. she constantly complains about her hair falling out and she takes more trips to the bathroom than I did when I was eight months pregnant. So I'm rolling my eyes and biting my tounge all weekend when she goes out and buys Freedom, the latest Jonathan Franzen book in lovely and very expensive hard cover, as a gift for absolutely no particular reason.

Suddenly I'm an asshole .
