to think that DM shouldn't prioritise her clubs over me?

[ribbonsandrainboughs]

Don't get me wrong - I luff my mum and we'd do anything for each other.

I'm just really fuming that she wouldn't nip round to mine to rescue the washing off the line today. The rain was about to lashy down and I didn't really want to intterupt what I was doing. But she said she wouldn't as she'd be late for KnitAndKnatter, well she calls it StichAndBitch, but that's a hole other thread lol.

Now I have to do the complete wash again - its really unenvironmentalky friendly to have to rewash stuff that stinks.

Sigh.

AIBU to think she should revisit her priorities I don't ask for much really?

There are adults out there like that though Toothbrush! I work with one of them. Last week she was complaining because her Mum wouldnt cut her caravan holiday short for two days to cover her childcare on an inset day

This is not at all relevant really but reminded me of the time my neighbour, who has a house here but works in India, texted me from Mumbai to say he had left the dishwasher running when he had left for his flight and please could I go over and turn it off!

Don't your mum's do stuff for you?

That's what mum's are for.

what mums are for???

When you are five.

Of course Mums do stuff for their kids - but not rushing round to their grown-up kids houses to take in the bloody washing!

Really?

Note to self: "Must put life on hold for grown-up DCs"

Admit it ribbons - you're extracting the urine aren't you?

Why was your thing more important than hers?

Oh dear! And to think some people have actual problems!

Actually, I've got a spare half hour.
Would you like me to make you dinner? Hmm?

Wonder what she talked about at Stitchin' and Bitchin'?

Because I would of had to get in my car and drive home. She was driving past. She normally nips in often. On the 2 days when I'm at work we comes in and does the dishes and makes the bed for me. Gives me an extra 10 mins in bed lol.

Precisely MrsEric - "AIBU to think my DD is a Spoilt Madam?"

erm, no thats definitely not what Mums are for.

she comes in not we

Now I know you're on a wind-up after that last post!!

Were you a "delicate child" OP?

Not delicate Salmon. But I am an onlie - so maybe we have a more closer relationship than others?

Oh my word, u do know what being an adult is don't u?? I've been in that situation before but it never occurred to me to ask my mum to take MY washing in for me! U are being deadly serious though aren't u?! It worries me that there are 'adults' out there like u

Nobody's spelling is that bad. NOBODY's. There is no WAY you can spell 'relationship' and not 'only'.

Now own up. At once.

Well, I've known lots of only children who are very independent self-reliant people.

I have a close relationship with my Mum but she would never have encouraged sloth.

Anyone else tempted to report? For being a spoilt madam, if nothing else.

Oh - and not to be picky (well, not too picky anyway) there isn't an "n" in my username.

Why does it worry you Helen? My mum is happy to help me out. So she does.

My mum's never taken my washing in for me - sure, she lives 200 miles away, but you'd think she could get in a car, drive over, and strip the line if it's raining
