My mum cooked for my children at the weekend and DD has told me that they had 'real chicken'. This is what my mum called it. Now from this I deduce that my mum was thinking along the lines that all my children eat is chicken nuggets and turkey twizzlers. I'm really a bit peeved that she is making comments like this.
To be fair, I have never cooked just a plain breast of chicken for them and presented it on its own. It would be something like a chicken tikka or chicken satay.
To put it in context my mum thinks she is a proper wife and mother because her life is about housework. She thinks she is a super cook (who happens to cook veg for 40 minutes at a time and buys everything from the freezer-aisle) whilst I, in her view, couldn't even boil an egg. She even said this weekend that my daughter has asthma because I don't vacuum enough - the truth is DD does not have asthma and I vacuum every day.
It's petty I know but I resent these little comments, especially since they are now being said in front of my children - grrr!
It was good to get that out!
