We live with my mother.
My ExH has our kids every other weekend, and lately my social life has become a lot better, so when the kids are away, i'm generally off out with friends in the evenings.
My mom is complaining that i'm neglecting her.
She doesn't have a social life, and obviously with it being the summer break, the time we'd usually go out when the children are at school, we cant as kids have to come with us, which can be a challenge as they both have some special needs.
Every time I go out lately, she's pulling a face, and she made a comment about not wanting me to forget her because of my friends.. but I am not her partner, i'm her daughter and a grown adult of nearly 40yrs old with friends who I only get to see when I dont have the kids.
I said i'd spend this Saturday with her, and we've book lunch out and will be home by 4pm.
I've been invited to an evening thing at a friends that'll mean stopping out over night and I want to go, but I know she'll get shitty with me for going out again.
AIBU to want to go? And should I just ignore her and go, or spend yet another evening sitting in watching TV with her (like we do every bloody night)
