I want honest opinions, not just tea and sympathy as I'm having trouble seeing another point of view on this.
My mother is long-since divorced from my dad, has a busy professional job and lives on her own. On a weekend she turns up at my house and stays all day sat, goes home sat night (sometimes v late) and comes back to stay all day sunday. She says she wants to spend time with the kids but honestly doesn't let them get a word in edgeways. The kids play up all the time she is here as they are fighting with her for my attention. She comments on absolutely everything: my in laws who "couldn't give a shit" (her words, not mine, my dh shouting at our dcs when they are naughty, the dcs behaviour, the smell of my washing, everything....!
She is driving me berzerk and i feel like such a bad mother when she is here. The dynamic of our relationship has become truly bizarre. I really dread her visits and have started having fantasies of moving out of town!
SO AIBU?
