The Matriarch in So called “FAMILY”

From the first time I met her, she was....as you can say....”pleasant”? She put on this act as if she was regal, poised, rich, beautiful (inside and out), smart, educated, holier than thou.
When I first met her, there was not a smile in sight. The first thing that came out of her mouth was, “what do you do for a job”?, “Are you working”?, “What does your parents do”?, “ Do you believe in God”?, “Do you pray?”. A bombardment of questions making me question myself “should have I studied?” Or am I in an interrogation of some sorts? Either way, I didn’t think much of it. It was the first meeting after all.
After the first meeting and after countless family gatherings, christmases, birthdays, I’m still being asked the same damn questions over and over in an endless loop. Mind you, my Husband and I have been married for 18 years. And I still get asked those questions as if she has just met me. Maybe she’s just forgetful, she is getting old. But no she says she’s very smart and she never forgets. Umm, ok, whatever you say. I should just write everything down so she wont have to ask. Oh and the fact that she never does anything wrong because SHE IS HOLIER THAN THOU. breathe in, breathe out
I do love my husband, so I have to tolerate her. But sometimes, I wish someone can smack her upside her head and say clap PAY clap ATTENTION.
There are so many things wrong with this lady, but my story will just go on forever.
But Im good, Im ok. She’s the person I don’t ever want to become. Lessons learned.
