I've had enough of her! We used to get on fine but since I became a full time mum- I cant take her any more. She is not a stereotypical GP (who is?) so none of the advice pages have anything to offer. She annoys me so much that the mere mention of her sets my teeth on edge and means hubby and I spend the weekend arguing.
She is very controlling and manipulative and very difficult to argue with. I hate arguments and prefer to be all polite and English about it until it all gets too much and then burst into tears and have a go at hubby.
She has never tried to help me since having my son instead she used to bring bag loads of her own laundry (her machine broken) and invite her friends round to meet the baby (2wks old).
He is now 19mnth and we have learned to tactfully say no- but there is always another issue brewing that we have to say no to eg extended family (younger cousins of my hubby) using our house as their uk hotel when they come over from Spain for London shopping trips etc.
Also- she is obsessed with ironing my husbands shirts. What's with that???! Forget making a tired, breastfeeding new mum a cup of tea...no out comes the ironing board, tells me off for not weeding the garden enough and goes on about how her poor son is working too hard (as hard as an up all night new mum?? I dont think so). Oh g=d, I have a son..please dont let me become this woman.
Please dont tell me I should feel lucky for the ironing.
Advice please.
