Not a friend but my family
my mother is narcissistic and my dad enables her-my children where hers to make all the decisions,I was just the birth giver and was meant to go along with this-all the grunt work but none of the joy
i was in hospital,having just given birth to number 4 baby and my dad was babysitting
i was due out about 1pm and for some reason my mother told him that my house was a tip (it wasn’t) and that I need help to tidy it all away,so dad decided to tip everything that was upstairs,down the stairs
he got the kids to help-they had great fun pulling stuff out of drawers and wardrobes,flinging it all down the stairs
i mean everything-toys,clothes,bedding,random crap from my bedside drawer,pictures off the walls,curtains,shampoo,toothbrushes,shower gel,the shower curtain and mat-if it was upstairs and not pinned down-it got slung down the stairs
i walked in,holding my newborn and was greeted with 3 kids jumping up and down on all this stuff-having a blast with both grandparents cheering them on-to which I got a cherry wave and a ‘bye then’ as they walked out
im not joking when I say it took me two days to put everything back (and it cost a fortune to replace all the stuff that got broken-I was a single parent at that point)
I’m nc with my parents now
who does that to a woman who’d given birth 16 hours earlier?
