Sad for me to have to admit, but my own mother is like this.
Nothing was fun when we were growing up. We don't have halloween where I grew up so I did not ever carve a pumpkin until I came to the states as an Adult.
However, at christmas, we were allowed a tree, also not tradition with my culture, but she would have it mapped out. We had to listen to her directions where to put things. It had to look a certain way and we had to redo it if she did not like the look of it... She is a very controlling person and I think she always will be. Sad, but some parents just aren't cut out for the extras in life...I never held it against her, but I remember feeling scared to disappoint her.
