(a whole list of them will emerge but for starters) to ask my mother to get a train?

[mosschops30]

yep shes staying for a whole week so this will probably end up as a ranting thread.
Her train is late, and i have an osteopath appointment, so not able to pick her up when she arrives.
I asked if she could get a train to us (well out of the city centre anyway), its one stop, and she just has to change platforms when she gets off the train shes already on.
Cue much sighing, dont think she can manage to buy another ticket, dont bother i'll just get a taxi (£12)!
so now looks like i'll have to drive into city centre at 5 pm with the hungry dcs to pick her up, god knows what time we'll be home.

Aibu to expect her to get on a train and go one stop fgs

My mother in law

1. Wouldn't be able to buy a ticket and get on the train in the first place.
2. Would definately not be able to change trains.
3. Would not be able to find and get a cab.
4. Would expect to be picked up whether the kids are hungry or not.

But still YANBU but have to do it anyway for the old biddy.

She spends all year moaning about how she wishes we were closer and ont get to do stuff together.
She has gone for a facial on her own, a haircut and now says shes 'too tired' to do the yoga class i booked for us later.
What she really wants to do is sit in my house, moaning about stuff and how hard done by she is

You need to find a way of zoning out of her endless moaning and going to a zen happy place. She's prob just lonely, doesn't make it any less infuriating though, you have my sympathy :)

If you ont answer though, she just keeps repeating herself!
