All my life dm has had some kind of jealousy towards me.Being slimmer,having a career and even not helping much when did were born.I couldn't return to work as far as she was concerned I had made my bed so had to lie in it.
Which probably aggravated my post natal depression.She even called social services regarding my parenting.The health visitor had to respond and apologized when she saw a lovely clean home and 2 dc with decent homemade food and smiling faces.She said it must be difficult with a dm like that.
The last two decades she has constantly complained I work too hard..I do but I love it.
This week when some pple overrun a local beauty spot she said it's about time furlough ended.I explained those involved were teens so probably not on furlough.Several times she has said I just be sitting pretty regarding 80% furlough.She knows damn well dh and I work hard but earn lower incomes hence the 53 hour weeks.
She has a medium to large home and garden with dfs pension coming in.We have tried our best to pick up shopping and help during her shielding.
I know she is frustrated and gets her 5 Dc doing things for her and is generally high maintenance.
I don't understand the jealousy regarding my industry being closed for the forseeable.How can she not realize I am making the best of walking and D IYand not spending anything while we await job information.Whether DH and myself will even have work?Anyone else had this?.
