My DM can be quite demanding and at the weekend I mentioned that I booked a restaurant for a late lunch so we could ‘end the Summer’
DM response was ‘well you haven’t taken me out since Mother day, that was it so why would we bother’
At the beginning of May I took her on (and paid for ) a week long cruise and I pointed that out.
I visit twice sometimes 2-3 times a week and she’s been up for sunday lunch a few times since Mat. We’ve been out at the shops and grabbed an odd coffee as well. In between this I’ve been on holidays for 3 weeks , organised away camps for kids etc and it’s really been all go.
AIBU to be quite pissed off at this attitude. My mother doesn’t want to go for a pub lunch and a glass of wine, she wants a meal and pub afterwards etc so it’s never a couple of hours. Once every 3 months for this type of meal seems reasonable enough to me but am i wrong ?
