every single year my mum rings in the new year with something along the lines of ‘here’s to another shit year’ ‘fuck you all i’m not relying on anyone this new year’ etcetc. this year it’s already begun with telling me she’s ‘fucking sick of you all’ because ive turned down last minute plans because my children have a bug.

no point to this post. just fed up of the negativity.

I would grey rock the fuck out of her and go as low contact as you can get away with. No one needs to be an emotional punchbag for their relatives.

I'm in my being blunt era but I'd be so so tempted to just say 'maybe if you did something to change it the next year won't be sh*t'.

Life's too short to listen to people who drag you down!

My DM is like this she could literally suck the joy out of the room. It's so hard to cope with because I tend to be quite a happy positive person when I'm.not around her

PenguinLover24 · 31/12/2024 19:24

Leave her in 2024. Life's too short for this crap.

She sounds a delight

PTSDBarbiegirl · 31/12/2024 19:26

Phone on silent. She sounds like a pain in the arse and you’d probably benefit from expressing your desire not to be swamped with her negative comments and passive aggressive responses.

Yeah.
Break the chain.

Blood is thicker than water doesn't mean what people think it means and you do not have to take shit to your detriment from someone who gave birth to you, just because they gave borth to you.

Happy 2025 @cherryontoppp wirhout that negativity 😉

Blood is thicker than water, but so is crap. Which this is. Leave her to it OP.

Ribenaberry12 · 31/12/2024 19:35

She sounds like one of my aunts. Let me guess, Daily Mail/The S*n reading, Brexit voting fascist who’s had everything handed to her on a plate? We now play Aunty Bingo as to how arseholeish she’s gonna be on any given day.

New Years makes some people weird. Tune out and get off the phone as quick as possible.

Ignore her messages and think about whether you really want to expose yourself and your children to this toxicity for another year…
