INotBU= You know what she’s like let it wash over you.
IABU = She’s a nasty horrible crow and I can vent all I want
I am a single parent with a grown up SEN DD. We respite Foster. My mother HATES us doing this. She hates calling at my house seeing a child there. She hates that we have nice times together.
This week has been foster care appreciation day - we were invited for a sit down dinner with drinks. We won a nice award for years of service - nothing fancy, but flowers so I was made up,
Mother literally sneered at them when I showed her.
This morning DD received a parcel in the post from them so I sent my mother a photo (it was an edible thing with a card). I sent my mum a photo because it was so nice,
Her reply - ‘don’t you ever stop showing off - She (DD) doesn’t even do anything’
I sent her a photo of the card where they thanked her for opening her home and her heart - she’s now cancelled coming for dinner tonight (at my house with me cooking), and said she’ll walk her own dog (the reason for invite as I’m walking her dog while she’s not well).
I genuinely don’t show off - I won employee of the month last week and passed a really hard exam but wouldn’t tell her either of those things 🙈 I just thought their acknowledgement of DD was really nice.
She also asked what the homeless vulnerable children do for DD but that’s another story !
Thought I’d feel better after a rant but I don’t ☹️ Vote some sense into me so it doesn’t ruin my good mood 🙈
