[kittylette]

she took my grandad to view a flat at 10am, she rang about an hour ago so say she would be 15 minutes [sigh] and now shes on the phone

and ds1 has just emptied my lipgloss all over the rug

I'd have called at 11.15 if my mum hadn't turned up.. 'cos knowing her, she would have forgotten!!!

[kittylette]

[Weatherwax]

Does she do this alot? (Mine does) Or is this unusual?

[kittylette]

[whiffywarthog]

this drives me bonkers. so disrespectful imho! my mil does this too, as does my sil. i give my mil a 30 min offset time, and sil a 2 hour one. we're pretty much back on track now.

my sister does this to me or similar... last Sunday

"come over to see us and bring D" sister
"Ok lovely we're not doing anything this afternoon I'm come over in an hour" me

one hour later....

"Ding dong" (me ringing sis's doorbell)
"they're gone out to the auction" nephew

Why does she do that? Does it all the time.

She's forgoten what its like to have a 1yr old who needs dressing, feeding, sleeping with some kind of routine.
