Having a neurotic, meddling mother myself, I agree whole-heartedly with the common law position that, unless there is specific direction otherwise, that person is one's spouse (whom one chose, after all, unlike one's parents). Incidentally, while I have made that abundantly clear to all and sundry (including my T&E lawyer), I haven't signed the form yet, either. However, I'm less worried about my mother trying to keep me around for years so she can read me self-help books and style my hair badly while I turn into liquified goo than I am about an ugly confrontation over who is in charge. Which is, really, worse, since that hurts the conscious.
You are all on notice - unless I can by some means communicate "don't pull that plug muthafucker," I want you to pull the plug.

Duly noted. Nobody so fashion conscious should have to endure bad hair. And I would request that if I marry, and then plan to divorce my hubby, who then takes up with another woman soon after I drop into a veggie state, that hubby not make the decision on what I would have wanted. We'll leave that to mummy who, if she desires to, can coo at me and baby me and wipe my butt for all eternity. With the LTL/FB clause of course: as long as there is no pain.
