family

I made an observation to my parents and my wife in the middle of another disagreement I was having with my mother that she's the only person I can be totally annoyed with even though she's being completely reasonable. It seems to me that I'm a completely different person when I speak with her. I get defensive and stand-offish and my temper flares for seemingly petty reasons. The others in  my family who were up this weekend, my two brothers, several cousins and uncles and aunts, I have no problems with - it's just my mother.
