TO be upset at moving thousands of miles to help my parent in old age, and be told your children are too noisy and an embarrasment in the neighourhood?

I am so so sad. Maybe coming here was a mistake. How could I ever think we could live with my old parents while building our new house? I moved from London to North Norway to help my elderly parents in old age and ill health. Now, we are the embarrasment of the neighbourhood because my toddler is noisy when playing outside! I have been given such a bollocksing, and I am such a bad mum for not teaching him manners, as he should NOT make noises when out on his scooter having fun. All it is is a loud and happpy "Wooooooooooooheeeeeeeeeeiiiii" when he goes down a slope in the garden.

They are simply too old, they dont remember what noises young children make when they play. So far the neighbhour hood has been blessed by 2 girl combinations, and the odd boy in one child families. They dont make MORE noise than usual where two or more boys come together to play.

But where do I go from here?

QS, hang in there. Whether you want it or not you have my utter admiration for what you are doing for your parents.

Don't leave this thread, you deserve sympathy and support and MN is the best place for that.

Tomorrow is another day, you've made progress in that your Mum has backed down and you've said your piece.

I really hope your build goes smoothly and you can all relax in your respect homes soon.

Yes DV, it is the Disney Orhcard, where all the apples for female villains grow, the Death Star Apple tree has very nice fruit I hear, apt to be pruned by Darth Vader.

Thanks ssd.
