She's been really been particularly kind or nice to me but recently has Neville even nastier.
Didn't get a congratulations with my last pregnancy and this time the same. Nothing. Just a cats bum face when I told her.

The only time there was a flicker of anything was when I if an episode of bleeding she could t contain her smirking.
Luckily all was ok.

Yesterday was my 12week scan. I'd arranged would she collect ds from school as it was same time she barked at me "well what time will you be back????"
No good luck, nothing just a horrible attitude.
We got back and she left the room. Did t ask how it went didn't ask to see the photo just took herself off. Tried to say goodbye when we left she wouldn't speak.
I text her later to thank her for having ds. No reply but could see the text had been read.

Text her this morning just hello how are you today and got back 'I'm ill'
She does this all the time. It's not about her so she goes all weird. She has horrible with my last pregnancy too. I've never met somebody so unkind and uncaring wtf is wrong with her.
The only time she seemed happy was when I was bleeding 😔

she isn't unkind to you, she picked up your children and cared for them for n hour. That isn't unkind. Especially if she wasn't feeling well - that is a huge favour.

No it isn't. It's a pretty small one, in the scheme of things.

Do you rely on her a lot like that, and expect childcare as an entitlement regularly?

Perhaps if you actually read the thread, no-name, you would know the answer to that.

pollythdolly I know. It's terribly sad isn't it? When my dd was three months pregnant with her first she had a huge bleed - so scary and worrying for us all - and my mother was very much ' well it would be for the best wouldn't it?' she is a very very strange woman

Just flicked through that website and it has actually made me cry!
