There's no way she could not know these things about me as I know them about her. But it always surprises her. Worse than being surprised, she is then convinced that when I grow up, I'll come 'round to her way of thinking on whatever the issue is, implying that my opinion is immature, ill-thought, ignorant or just downright wrong but someday I will inevitably grow out of it. I find this insulting and hurtful. Hurtful most of all because my own mother doesn't know who I am after thirty years and doesn't seem to care to until I'm just like her. THEN I'll be an acceptable human being.
