Reasons why I’m a shit/selfish daughter (according to my DM)
- I changed my WhatsApp privacy settings so I no longer have a last seen status or send read receipts. This, I’m told, is rude and unfriendly.
- I went for a walk with DH and DS on Sunday. I’m on the shielding list (as is my DM, not that it’s stopped her meeting people or having her cleaner round) but because I’m a student my DS is still in childcare for two days during the week while I have online lessons, and I didn’t want to further increase the risk by going to see my DM. This was apparently selfish because I have “two mothers to consider”. By this she meant herself and my MIL- apparently I don’t count as a mother on Mother’s Day. Even though I’ve only had two of them and they’ve both been in lockdown.
- I sent her a moonpig Mother’s Day card. That made her feel like an afterthought. It may be worth mentioning that my brother is NC with her so my “afterthought” moonpig card will have been a damn shit sight better than the less than fuck all she’s had from him for the last decade.
So there we have it. Can anybody beat me to the title of shittest daughter? Is there a lower rung on the ladder of shit daughterness than that which I currently occupy?
