i've noticed this with my own mother, i'm turning 20 years old and she's not letting me grow up as much as i'm needing at the moment,
awww i'm sorry about that -hugs- but at least you two got to spend some time together, that's what matters the most -nods- ^^
....i'm sorry to hear that! that's awful... >_> i feel really bad about saying this then: for our 6 months dae gave me a claddagh ring and so far it's becoming our pre-engagement ring ^^ lol
the claddagh meaning is wonderful but also there are certain WAYS to wear the claddagh ring ^^ if you'd like i can send you a link cuz all i know is that if you wear it on your left hand with the heart facing out it means that you have love under consideration *not married yet*
