.. I live several hundred miles from my parents to live close to DH's children.
My DH works away all week so I am on my own - DH's children largely only visit at weekends when he's home.
My mum thinks I should go and stay with her for August, and I've tentatively agreed, but I've just been invited to join a post natal group that I'd really love to go to because I need to make some friends in this area.
anyawy, my mum is really not happy that I won't be coming up, but I think it's important for me and DS for me to make friends here.
My mum emmigrated when my sister and I were really young and all she ever did was 'go home' so I didn't have many friends growing up, as we were never there - we were always going back to my mum's home. I don't want that for my son....
It's going to cause problems with my mum, but I reckon, I'm 36, doing fine on my own and it's time to put DS first...
That's not unreasonable, is it??? SO, form an orderly queue and give me a good kick up the jacksy!!!
thankyou!!
