Just a vent
Ongoing lifelong saga of her controlling nature. I DID move away for uni (and not move back) 30 years ago but it still grates when I see or speak to her
Nothings right. She talks about her and never asks or changes the subject of i mention me or her grandkids or my dh.
When I was ill in mental health unit while pg with 4th she told dh she wrote me out of her will and she was on his side. She saw me looking slim and good a few years ago (I worked a job involving driving and happened to be near hers so dropped in) she told me I was competing with my dd and asked me if I was having an affair!
She always says stuff like 'your hair looks horrible like that ' etc and just pissed me off this year re xmas present
She is relatively housebound. Previously loved nice quality clothes.last year I got her lovely matching pj's and slippers €££.she said the slippers were horrible.
Okay
This year Got a lovely jumper in a style she normally likes and pj's
She said - those trouser things are they pyjamas? Well I will take them to the charity shop. The jumper i gave to the cleaner.
Nice if she just said thanks and gave it away in secret!
This bearing in mind she monitors how much she thinks i spend (about £50 -£70)if it's less in also get worse grief
Whereas she sends me a cheque for my (December) birthday and me and dh and 4 dc xmas presents combined and moans about it (not about amount)
Dh thinks i should send her a cheque next year
Do you?
