(Long)Angry Miserable Customer Nasty Nasty Nasty

Mom blasted me with another happy email this morning. I wrote her back basically saying enough is enough - I will NOT be attacked and belittled. The GC will be in her mailbox by tuesday and I'd appreciate if she found herself a nother PC consultant if ever she should need one.

What did she say in this email?

OMG Carolyn, how horrible. I would have wanted to spit nails at her! I think you handled yourself very well. It was a comedy of errors and she chose to take the low road - kudos to you for taking the high road girlfriend. Sounds to me like this woman has a whole lot more going on than anyone knows. Are you going to say something to her daughter about the situation? Be very careful how you approach it with her, it sounds like a very touchy subject and I don't envy you that task. Coul dbe that there is a bad situation, I'd be tempted to say nothing and if your friend ever confides in you about problems with mom maybe that is the time to tell her what happened....I don't know what I'd do. Let us know the outcome if and when you do.

I think you handled it wonderfully! I would have been having a little extra chocolate too~~from one chocoholic to another

Something just triggered a thought?What if this is all from jealousy? What if the mom is jealous of the friendship you have with her daughter and was looking for a quick easy way to destroy it?I have an aunt who would do something this horrible to her daughter out of jealousy. We've watched it for years and it is a mental issue for her but she isn't on any meds for anything else and I don't know if a doctor would diagnose her because the jealousy and anger is only directed at the daughter.My mom has become my cousin's surrogate mom (cousin is 42 in August!!!!) because of the ups and downs with her own mom. She switches back and forth between nice, helpful mom and a sabotaging mom - it's odd....just a thought...

Hey Rae - how did that smiley get a black eye and a missing tooth if you're running around kicking ankles? Or did you tell him to bend over and kiss his butt good-bye and get him while he passed his ankles????

Linda, It would be great exercise. Of course, the good thing is that I wouldn't have to run too fast to get away. Janet, the last one was a little faster on the recovery than I expected.

Well said Nanisu!

Thanks for your kind comments. When referring to my mom (who definitely is a little high on the "how many things can I complain about today" scale), I just wanted Carolyn to not let this friend's mom wreck her friendship with her neighbor--my guess is the daughter already knows that the mom is capable of popping off like this already, LOL. Carolyn, this is a wonderful business and you will definitely meet more hosts and guests that you like than ones like this one. My business has been such a blessing.

I whole heartedly agree, some people really do like to be mad.

Bless her little heart for caring so much for her daughter that she protectively stood up for her. :angel: IF she truly didn't get your phone message, she obviously didn't get the email due to the bounce back notice, then she was being a protective mother bear {roar} if you will. I do feel she over reacted in the first place and was just being obnoxious after hearing what happened on your end. So bless her little heart for being a protective mother bear.

YIKES.

Please don't get me for trying to take a positive approach. Benefit of doubt, I can hear my old boss saying that to all of us under her. I would just let it die there you have proof if you need it so I would have just sent her a Season's Best thanking her for getting her a daughter a gift certificate along with the g/c.

I hope the order goes though quickly and painlessly. If she asks for her money back then just do it quickly to be done with her. Whatever the case I hope you will be done with this mess soon.
