Got railroaded into cooking dinner for the whole family today, inc my parents.
Normally this wouldnt be a problem, I usually host all the big events and they do dinner for us too. However, recently I got aload of crap from exH and he went via my mother who agreed with him and spent alot of time on the phone with him slagging me off! When I pointed out that a) I knew what she had done and b) the "fact" this was based on was actually lies and I have the proof to back it up, she didnt apologise just acted like nothing had happened.
There is alot of history of this kind of thing with my mother, but I put it to oneside for my (hen pecked) father and my childrens sake. I had thought we were making real progress the last couple of years, but hey ho, now I know!
Dad normally does the big meal cooking as he enjoys doing it and mum is at church, so he asked me, infront of my kids who asked if they could help and it ended up with me not being able to say no. It isnt that I dont want to help him out (he was going to rememberance day services) but the request actually came from her and she obv didnt want to ask me herself.
I have made the dinner for everyone, but am fighting a desperate urge sabotage hers in some undetectable way to get my own back for her sheer f*ing cheek!
So, to gob or not to gob that is the question.....
