Just interested to hear from other posters what sort of relationships they have with their mothers.
Mine is quite frankly appalling.
My mother last night phoned for a chat - it was not a row (for once) and I managed not to lose my temper, though I was quite short with her.
She loathes dh with a passion and is constantly carping on about how useless he is, how awful he looks, how he's ginger (ffs!), how he's a weirdo etc etc etc.
He is a bit eccentric but I love him and I am also not one of life's conformists so we get on just fine.
I was also told:
a) I "used" to be pretty
b) How I had so much potential
c) How my flat is "grungy"
d) How when I miscarried a few years ago, I made "too much fuss" about it. This is from someone who always goes on about how she never forgave her own mother for being unsympathetic about miscarriage.
e) How I lead an alternative lifestyle - I have always worked, paid my bills, don't do drugs (ok I used to but not now), I am a home owner, I'm married and don't indulge in bizarre sex practices or keep a salve in the airing cupboard.
f) How my son would hate a sibling and how my obsessive love for him is subconsciously preventing me from conceiving.
Basically I'm not some kind of sloaney cow who spends her city wanker husband's bonus on colonic irrigation.
Should I just cut her out of my life forever or how would you suggest managing her?
