Jojo i feel your pain- my mothers a complete fruit loop! She can act like such a child at times, can you believe she thought it would be funny to 'stage' a party in my house for my return from holiday? yep, 28 weeks pregnant, 5 hr flight back from cyprus, absoloutly exhausted, havn't slept for a fortnight and i return home to beer cans, wine bottles, fags, trash everywhere.. condoms open by the bed. . i flipped. Sad thing is, when i walked in and saw it the only thing i thought was 'i cant believe she's let me down again'.. and i genuinly believed she'd let my brother (who turned 17 whilst we were away) party in my house. I flipped, i dont think i've ever screamed and shouted at her the way i did. She turned up and Joe handed her a bin bag and confiscated her key. I was so angry i couldnt even look at her, i just hid in the nursery sobbing- the only room untouched, thank god else i think id have gone into labour then and there!.. Shes great with penny, but hasnt been anywhere near as involved with Penny as she has my other neice as she cared for my neice 3 days a week untill recent, but shes always going on about how tired she is, shes so ill etc. Shes not, shes just tired cos she's 52 and tbh needs to realise that shes very lucky for what she has, no mortgage,.. happy healthy kids, her own health. etc i've been poorly a few times now since ive had Penny, and not one to ask for help unless i really need it, ive had to phone her and ask for help, shes only come over once and it was for 45 minutes! ... anyways i must stop ranting. I do love my mum and shes done alot for me, but my god family can be hardwork sometimes cant they!!!
You tell your mum how it is, that she will not ruin babys first christmas for moaning and to consider the fact that you are still settleing in and need help yourself. Xx
