Visited DM and DF yesterday as they had photocopied my cvs after realizing i didnt have any sunday and i was applying for a new job as i was fed up of getting home at 1 15 am exhausted.
Dad has chemo this week for recurrent aggressive cancer.He feels awful for about a week after
and was considering stopping it and let nature take it s course.
Mum has incurable cancer too and he is redecorating to make the house more sellable when they go.
Recently he has been criticizing our home they havent been round in many yrs.If i say we are getting a new dining table he asks where from then gets sniffy if i say a more affordable shop.The same if i say im doing steak for the kids tea he wants to know what cut it is.Constant critcism eventhough we both work hard and have paid our mortgage off.WE dont have anything flash and are not motivated by this we just have 2 lovely teens and a cosy home.my DH just bought a newer car he paid cash for it.They are now going on about how small it is and hw the engine will blow up with all the miles he does!!
They spend tim with my db and ds who have nice lifestyles but dont visit me or my other ds who dont.
My dsis has gone nc for yrs with them and they seem surprised.
Should i put up with their sniggering and snobbery and accept the rudeness as its up to us where we shop or if we dont go abroad or should i say something to them eventhough they are having a hard time as Dad is mums carer really as she cant walk as far as the shops and she will be lost when he goes after 50 yrs together.
They may aswell say they are ashamed of us as we dont have well paid jobs ARRGGHH !!

well on reflection Dad did say all the meds hormone injections anti sickness pills and 3 days of chemo make everything taste awful,he is exhausted and has his old pals funeral fri he died of the same cancer :(
so our dd dropping out of Alevels has taken a place on the backburner.
Life wouldve been easier with my old boss but the company takeover has been tough on me and Dh with his anger issues and ED from his heart attack all thrown into the mix from his meds.I shouldve made more effort to socialize than work lots then i could let my hair down.
No idea how Mum copes watching her Dh going through hell whilst waiting for her 3rd time cancer return.Thnks everyone even people who said i was dreadful its the kick up the bum i need. x

yes donkeys i used to use my job as my off switch from my parents and kids were a distraction from work now it is all a bit intense.I find myself worrying about the pair of them quite a bit as i live in the same town and mum cant drive anymore.

I hat facebook PA bullshit. If it's not addressed to you then please just ignore it, there's plenty enough going on without having to satisfy someone else's sense of drama.

Gah. There's a reason for trite sayings like it never rains but it pours isn't there! I'm glad your mum liked the jumper and the pain turned out to be nothing serious
