Oh shit, I better open a window as the rain has stopped. Also I better grab that book from the bedroom.

NO I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE MORE THAN ONE TRIP

Oh my partner is standing up. Please baby can you grab that thing that's 4 metres away as getting up from the sofa must be avoided at all costs.

My mom would call me from another room to hand her the TV remote because she was in her comfy chair and didn't want to move. Would also call us from the driveway that was an extremely shory distance from the door when she forgot her purse.

Infuriating. I'd be doing dishes with the dishwasher open and my dad would walk around the open dishwasher to put his glass on the counter next to me

Yeah my sibling was telling me recently that they were dropping my young nephews off for part of the day with our mom, who asked if they could come with sun screen already applied, so she didn't have to do it. She had promised to put more on them throughout the day but apparently told them to put it on themselves so they naturally were lobster red by the time they went home.

I've been getting screen shots of texts of her whining about how she has stated that she won't be getting any kind of vaccines or flu shots anymore but still wants to visit the 6 month old who has no immune system.

Genuinely one of the most self centered/narcissistic people I've ever known.
