Mom, Dad, and I see movies weekly. Well today we were going to see Harry Potter, but then mom came home and brought this to my attention.
We have a PT Cruiser and each time we goto the movie, Mom needs to unpack the ramp and load the wheelchair into the vehicle. Since the movie is 2-1/2 hours long, I told her I wasn't going to spend that time sitting in an uncomfortable manual wheelchair, when she could just spend 5 minutes unpacking the ramp and loading in my electric wheelchair. She was giving me every possible excuse in the book of why she didn't want to do it. Then she started talking about Rick Hanson, then started talking about how I should give back to the community, then saying how I don't do enough to keep myself active. I just said "I'm doing what I can, but if you think I'm not doing enough, then fine, I'll stop everything I'm doing and vegetate myself. Just to prove my point." How the hell do I keep up with that crap, and what the hell do I say to her?
