My mum's birthday party last night, about 60 people there, house full, band, fireworks, etc etc
My nmother and I get on quite well, however she comes out with some cracking nasty comments, which, in time I have learnt to just ignore because there is no point.. any way, my DH and I have recently moved house, and we had 4 chickens, which we were going to rehome to MIL - as she already has some, but my mum put up such a fuss that she'd like to have them untill we got settled and were able to move the hens too in a few weeks time when we get our garden fenced etc.
So, mum had them... 2 weeks ago on the understanding that she'd look after them. She was pretty adament with DH and I that she was having them.
My mum has a dog. Last night I went to lock my hens away before the fire works to make sure they were safe in their house... and there was only 2... cue me asking mum where the other two were, and when she'd last seen them, i.e. the night before when she'd apprently locked them all away... she laughed at me and said ask your brother, so I asked him, he laughed and said ask the dog.
My mum hasnt been locking them away, they've not been roosting in their house, she's let them free range in the garden, so the dog ate 2 of my lovely hens, DD will be distraught - she's 3.
So... I burst into tears (im nearly 6 months PG)
my dad told me to leave it, as they were only chickens... neither of my parents then spoke to me for rest of night and didnt say good bye when we were saying good byes to everyone else at 11pm
when we left the party, I took my cat that was mine as a child... bought her home to my house, she slept on my bed and hasnt stopped purring, she's loving it :)
but I do feel a bt guilty, so was I being unreasonable to liberate the cat?
Shes 10 years old, was mine when I lived at home - my mum doesnt worm / de flea her, I take her for a her injections....
