I've recently moved 300 hundred miles to live with my parents as my marriage has broken up. I've brought my daughter (2) with me, given up a well paid job and left my lovely house, were both living in one room and I'm finding it hard work and feel very sad about it all.
I know my parents are being very kind by letting us stay with them for free BUT I have a few things that are bothering me and I can't decide if I'm being over sensitive or is my Mum being out of order and a bit cruel?
So I need some honest MN's advice please!
This is what has happened so far (I've only been here three days)!!
I have a twin brother, were both 40 next week, he is going away for the weekend with his wife and my parents are looking after their daughter, I also asked my parents if they could sit for my daughter on Saturday night so I can go out with the girls for about four or five hours, she will be asleep and I can pretty much guarantee she won't wake up. My Mum said NO as they have other GD and she is hard work, I was very embarassed and felt sad they would do it for him and not me, I would put her to bed so all they have got to do is listen out for her?? I can't do another night as I'm have a joint meal with my other friend who is 40 that weekend to.
I have put my DD food in the fridge, just yoghurts, smoothies etc and my mum went out and bought a mini fridge today and put all my DD stuff in there saying it 'was a nuisance' there are yoghurts for other GD but there OK in there, but not hers??
I stack all the plastic plates, bowls for both GD's together in the cupboard and she has separated them into two piles, WTF does it matter, has she got germs or something!
I put my DD nappies and wipes in a basket with other GD's where they change her when she comes (twice a week) and my Mum has taken them out and put them in my room??
When she changed other GD's nappy the other day, I said jokingly pooie, smelly bottom and she went into one and said very aggressively 'she doesn't smell any worse than any other toddler', bloody hell I was joking, my DD bottom stinks!! [winks]
More or less ignores my daughter when other GD is there, never picks her up, plays or reads with her but has so much time and patience for the other one?
I know I'm moaning and probably over reacting but I need to get it off my chest and I feel so sorry for myself and my DD as she is a delightful little girl and absolutely no trouble at all. By the way my Dad is fantastic with both of them so I cannot complain about him!
We have always had a very fiery relationship and she thinks she can tell me what to do even though I 40 FFS!!
