So angry i can barely speak

So i will type instead.

My not so DD was on facebook this am, put something on her status indicating she was upset about something. (DD is 20 and doesn't live at home btw) I ask her what is wrong - fuck off she tells me. Nice!! Anyway, brief background, she doesn't havea job and my mum pays her to walk her dog for her - I used to walk him but i stopped when i got a job. My job didn't work out but i just let DD carry on with it because i didnt feel comfortable taking money from my mum and it never stopped with the dog walking, there was always, "while you're here can you pop to the town for me etc etc" She basically takes the piss, but you know how it is, its my mother, what can you do. So now my DD is the one who my mum thinks doesn't have a life so can run after her all the time - well, if DD got a job then she woudlnt be able to (different story). So after being told to fuck off, i was already Angry i said WTF is going on, my mum had already been on phone to me asking for number for boiler company, spoke to me like shit, clearlly in bad mood. So DD tells me im lazy don't do anything for nanny etc. Her cat been in the vets all this week, DD been doing the tooing and froing, i thought ah good, because i am mid tax return hell and im pretty preoccupied just now. But anyway, my mother obviously been slagging me off to dd as the stuff she said is stuff that my mum rings me and slags DD off to me.

Then phone rings, "what are you doing" says my mum, "sorting tax return out" "Well i cant get the fucking cat to the vets and its half dead (its not) and ive got to wait for the gas man" I said, well had you phoned me and asked me i woudl have taken her to the vets for you "oh dont worry about it" and slammed the phone down. So i have to fucking drop everything to take the cat to the vets, - which i dont mind, really i dont, it was my cat anyway in the first place - but why the hell do i get spoken to like shit by my mother AND DD!!! I am seething.

Ive just taken the cat to the vets, my mother trying to back track because i told her she has been slagging me off to DD. She says i only go there when i want something - not true. I do avoid her alot of the times because she moans on about shit and is difficult (like Catherine tates nanna but more malevolent) to put up with. Last weekend i ASKED her to come out with me and DD2 (aged 5) because i thought that she hadn't seen her for a bit, DP was working and i thought she woudl like to have the opportunity, but no, i only ever go there when i want something FFS.

What is wrong with, when you want/need something - phoning someone and asking them, it would have been much easier for me if she rang this morning and said, oh the cats still not eating would you mind taking her to the vets for me. Instead i had to break my stride in what i was doing and go just now. I am supposed to read her mind, she was even on he phone earlier to me moaning about the woman from the boiler company who was apparently "rude" errr, well if she spoke the her the way she spoke to me, if i were the woman from the bioler company i would have told her to fuck off! I am pre occupied due to tax return {stressed out about it) so i didnt ask after the cat.

Upset that DD spoke to me like that, but just steaming with my mother. She fascilitates my DD not getting a job because she gives her money all the time, and then thinks she is at her beck and call. What has happened today is that DD pissed off, didnt want to take the cat etc, so i end up getting shit on. FFS

Well you all seem to talk to each other like shit anyway, so I'm surprised you even noticed when your DD told you to f&&& off. Your reaction to her telling you to F off was to say WTF?

Changing2011 · 28/01/2011 13:14

you all need to get jobs and if you have any more children raise them properly next time. HTH.

brightlightsandpromises · 28/01/2011 13:16

its different when you spell it!!! its not about the language, its about the intention behind it. I am not actually angry with DD because i know why she is pissed off, its my mother who has got my goat, and no i don't speak to my mother, or my DD like shit thankyou very much.

BarbieLovesKen · 28/01/2011 13:16

Was just about to say the same and seen minibmw's reply. I was shocked that your dd had told you to fuck off but then realised that she has obviously been taught to behave this way given the way the rest of you speak to one another.

Am a bit shocked that you begrudge helping your mother out and used to take money from her to walk her dog? Shock Also one reason you stopped was to avoid her asking favours of you? shes your mother. No wonder your dd treats you like shit. Shes copying you.

brightlightsandpromises · 28/01/2011 13:17

Oh right, so now i haven't raised my children properly?? Great. Thanks for that.

OP posts:
Changing2011 · 28/01/2011 13:18

Clearly not - she thinks its OK to laze around all day and tell her mother to fuck off! And CHARGE her grandmother for dog walking FFS! Its not like she is doing anything else.

BarbieLovesKen · 28/01/2011 13:18

I've just read that again. Jesus Christ - shes an old woman who was probably upset/ annoyed that her cat was ill!!! I remember my granny being devestated when her dog was ill and very cranky but we allowed her to be and let off some steam.

ShowOfHands · 28/01/2011 13:18

Oh sweet moses.

mutznutz · 28/01/2011 13:19

For me it's about lack of respect. I would never tell my parents to fuck off and I'm almost 42.

I'm sorry but I agree with Mini..you sound like a family with more issues than a Jeremy Kyle series.

brightlightsandpromises · 28/01/2011 13:19

Barbie, if you knew my mother, you would understand - but you don't. I don't begrudge helping my mother out at all. I told you that - i said one of the reasons i stopped walking the dog was because i wasn't comfortable taking the money. There is a difference between helping out and being expected to be at someones beck and call 24/7.

My DD does NOT treat me like shit, she was angry because my mother been on her case all morning.

Changing2011 · 28/01/2011 13:20

so why are you "so angry you can barely speak"

BarbieLovesKen · 28/01/2011 13:21

Was just going to add that too mutznutz - the lack of respect is very sad. Im a married woman with 3 children and would bite my tounge off before telling my mother to fuck off/ charge my grandmother for little jobs.

I think you might find the answer to a lot of your problems here

falsemessageoflethargy · 28/01/2011 13:24

Aha I missed these earlier in the week but have caught one now

brightlightsandpromises · 28/01/2011 13:24

Oh enjoy lording it over the chav family from hell why don't you - you know, i was angry - so instead of phoning my mother up and telling her so, i vented on here.

FanellaFudge · 28/01/2011 13:25

Er... get an accountant?

mutznutz · 28/01/2011 13:25

i said one of the reasons i stopped walking the dog was because i wasn't comfortable taking the money

So you did take it to begin with then? Just as your daughter does?

Tortington · 28/01/2011 13:25

god really!...i think i live in a world similar to yours OP,

anyway here is my take on it.

i would tell them both to get fucked

no, i wouldnt waccept it from my daughter as a matter of respect. i can use fuck this, fuck that fuckity fuck fuck - but when you use it directly to a family member it is different - in mybook theres a line and i dont give a flying hedghog fuck what her reasons for telling you to fuck off were - she should have held her tongue.

i think your mother is best avoided - and if your all gossiping about each other all the time its not going to help

so dont bad mouth nanna to dd and ask dd to not tell you anything your mother said about you

oh and tell her shes has 20 long years with you and thats long enough for her to decide what kind of person you are.

Merrylegs · 28/01/2011 13:26

You all sound perfectly lovely. Grin

Did it help to type it all out though?

You know you didn't have to take the cat to the vets. Your mum didn't ask you and when you offered she told you not to worry about it. But you did and are now feeling resentful

FWIW people who update their FB statuses with 'feeling really down today' or 'So bloody annoyed' or 'I'm f"ing fuming' really make my teeth itch. So on that count, YANBU.

Tortington · 28/01/2011 13:26

what is wrong with getting paid to walk the dog

i pay my son to walk the dog - whats wrong with that?

susie100 · 28/01/2011 13:27

Are you aving a larF?

brightlightsandpromises · 28/01/2011 13:28

Yes, i did mutznuts because i took him for two hour walks a day and my mother said that if i didnt take money to do it she would pay a dog walker.

Fanella, why would i get an accountant when im perfectly capable of doing tax return myself, doesn't stop it being stressfull preparing the thing though. Would have to do that anyway so not about to pay an accountant for what would take me a couple of hours to do, once all the stuff is organised.

This is why my family members all live in different counties o one another. We meet at Christmas and birthdays etc. I don't know what my mum's cat is called.
