Sorry girls for another rant about my mum but she's really peeed me off,Yesturday was my brothers birthday & he was going to the races then for drinks after so he asked hubby if he wanted to go out for the day,i said i didn't mind as long as he didn't get to drunk cos he's on holiday this week & i did'nt want him being to hungover that me & lo didn't have day out today which i think was fair enough esp as it was a bank holiday,But my mum texted my brother saying don't get justin (dh) to drunk cos he'll never hear the end of it,AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH i don't think i was being unreasonable i mean why should me & lo have to suffer cos dh is hungover?!! thankfully he wasn't to bad when he got home & he took us both shopping! yepeee
Sorry to rant just needed to get it off my chest xo

Hello,
My mum keeps coming out with them too - i wish i could talk to her without worrying that shes gonna say something annoying to piss me off!
Maybe its just me being tired n her getting older!

my mother lives in greece so thankfully dont get too many headaches, though she is in process of setting up her computer so no doubt my email inbox is gonna be permanently full of have u done this, u should be doing that, i suggest such and such, blah blah, i dont think there is any escape,lol xx

i think sometimes she doesn't even realise she's doing it think dh is praying i don't turn out like her! cos she also keeps saying "look at the mother see the daughter in 30 yrs":lol:

My mum has managed to forget my due date and keeps asking me when it it. I asked her if she wanted to come to my 20 week scan tom as she has never been to one and she said she couldn't as she was going out with my sister shopping - fair enough - then later she asked me if I would look after her dog tommorrow - pointed out I was going to hospital for scan so couldn't. Later on I said make sure you have phone on and I'll ring you and let you know how I get on. She said 'get on with what?' Nice to know my 1st pregnancy (had 1 m/c which has left me a total nervous wreak) is so important to her that she forgets every detail about it. Wish I didn't care but I do makes me feel very unimportant she knows how worried I am about everything and how totally gutted I was when I miscarried. Moan over!

My mum is driving me potty too. She is acting quite out of charachter at the moment. She tried telling me that she was going to be with me when I was in labour though I really don't want her there and I have lost track of the number of times she's made me feel personally responsible for the changes in the last 30 years of giving birth.
She also tried telling me what I should be spending my money of because she thinks that I ought to sacrifice EVERYTHING to but things for the baby. (Like I am expected to cut back on my necessities but spend frivilously on rubbish for th baby. I don't WANT the baby to arrive with 14,430 cuddly toys in it's room thanks!)
Then having said that she does turn up with all the baby and pregnancy magazines that a girl could possibly want so it's not all that bad!!

My mum always manages to book a holiday whenever theres a baby due in the family. When I was 39 weeks preg she flew off and told me to cross my legs until she got back, I prayed for babe to come and spite her but he hung on until she was safely back in the country and within visiting distance.

My mum is driving me mad, and she doesn't even know I'm pregnant yet?? I am actually dreading telling her, I certain that she will want to come and stay when I have the baby and I already panicing about how to say no. We're also going to end up with a case of her working out if my mother in law is seeing more of the baby than her, she already does this with our daughter. And they both knit, I know she'll get competetive over this.
I must admit that i love it when other people talk about the problems with their parents as it makes me feel better!
I'm getting to the stage where I don't even like her anymore and I feel awful admitting to that.

Sorry you're all pissed of with your mums but you don't know what you've got till it's gone. My mum died a few years ago and dad died in a car accident a couple of years ago. Really miss them both although moaned plenty when they were here!
Would have loved them to know my wee boy and miss them even more now I have another on the way.
Oh well thats life - we'e never happy are we! xx
