Overall we have an excellent relationship. a year ago i moved 200 miles away from my mum with my partner to buy a house otherwise there was no way we could buy our own property.
Before we moved she promised me she would come down when she had time off work. So far this year we have been there once a month because she runs her own business and works most sundays or saturdays. Shes been here twice. Once when we was all ill, i rung her in tears at 7am she was here by 12
And once a few weeks ago. Just for a day though.
She really is a fab mum and I dont know what Id do without her. When she was here a few weeks ago she said they had given themselves 3 weeks off over chrstmas and she was planning on coming her for teh last week. Great I though DP back in work it will break the week up for me and the kids, even if she only stays one night. So was looking forward to it.
I rung her boxing day and she said she cant afford to come now The next day she buggered off to the lake district for the night. Now I know it costs her £50 in petrol to get here but they have our bed. Probs would cost around the same to get to the lake district plus accomodation. I didnt tell her i was upset just avoided making phone calls or answering them for a few days whilst i got over it. Ive spoken to her today and everthing is back to normal but Im still so annoyed she didnt even say sorry she couldnt come anymore. Shes missed a chance to see her grandsons and they are back at work next week so its gonan be back to us spending £60 petrol getting up there once a month (bigger car lol)
AIBU ?
