Have a mum friend, both our sons are 8, born at same time. Have been friends since pregnancy and have been great support to each other over the years.
I have none, nada, zero support from family. No family of mine remaining and Dh family elderly and sick so can't help.
Recently this friends been grating on me...
She has 4 year old son and 2 year old daughter.
Her kids are both in nursery 7-7 (eldest Monday-Friday) and youngest is in 7-7 Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Her mum takes the youngest for her Sunday 5pm until - Tuesday 6pm sometimes takes her straight to nursery Wednesday.
She's constantly trying to compare her parenting situation to mine... complains about her mums lack of interest in the kids and always saying she knackered, kids are hard work ect ect ect...
It's starting to piss me off... I don't think anyone else on the planets parent takes their child 2/3 nights every single week and the other week days they are in nursery 7-7...
It isn't even acknowledged or appreciated what her mum does for her... she's constantly saying how she wishes she was more interested in the kids ect. I don't know anyone else with as much help as that!
Am I being a bitch 🙈 I'm CONSTANTLY now biting my tongue... in my opinion what she's doing isn't real parenting.
