@jeffowski yep. Mom took any and every opportunity to "teach" me. Even when she was ranting about somebody else, I felt like she was lecturing me. I never tell her about friends anymore because if we ever stop associating, it's somehow my fault even if we just grow apart over the years. I'm proud of myself though; I finally learned how to say "I didn't ask for advice" when she was starting in on how I do my job last week.
