I can sooooo relate! Last year I sent my Mom a Pie candle for Mother's Day. She took it to work and all the ladies HAD to have one (or two)! I was thrilled and ended up doing over 50 of these pies and shipping them to her in New Mexico! Next thing I know, she is calling my sister and having her call me and ask me all kinds of questions about candlemaking! I thought it was kinda odd but that maybe for once in my life she was actually proud of me and just curious! Boy was I wrong!! I get a call from my sister a week later telling me that my Mom has started making candles and selling them to the ladies at work!! I of course told her about the need for testing, testing, testing .... etc, but she didn't want to hear it! She had the nerve to tell me that if I could do something .... then she could sure as hell do it just as good if not better! *faint* I know we were never that close because she only ever really wanted my little sister & brother .... but DAMN! We really haven't spoken much since! Sorry to hear what is going on with you. :awww:
