To think my mother could do a bit more?

She's been here since last Wednesday. We went to Dublin for two days (my birthday treat) which I ended up paying for.

Anyway, she hasn't helped at all, she's supposed to be here helping out for half term. I've cooked, cleaned, washed, tidied, bathed dcs, read stories etc etc.
She's sat and watched tv mostly.
Tonight I said I wasn't feeling very well and she replied 'oh I hope you don't give it to me'!

To top all this off she just said 'when you get home from work tomorrow can you log in to plenty of fish for me to see if I've got messages'
It took a lot of effort to not reply 'yes after getting up at 6am, working 9 hours, coming home and cooking dinner, then getting dcs sorted and in bed I can't think of anything is rather do than log into your dating site'

Really it's more work having her here than not. How can people be so fucking lazy and selfish?

I live 6000 miles from my mum, I'd love to have her visit.
You'll miss her when she's dead, you know...
