First of all she is a complete technophobe my brother thought it would be a good idea to help her do a myspace page all weekend the phone has been ringing off the hook for me to change things on it and put photos on and write her a bloody blog for farks sake ,I don't even have a myspace .

Then this morning she rang at 7am I am meant to have agreed sometime last week to go and sit in her house and wait for some workmen --
Now she knows I have 5 dc (obviously) one with SN who is home educated ,one who is off school today ill and a 2 year old potty training .Luckily dp is off work and has gone up after dropping the 2 girls off at school while I get other dc ready .
But the cheek of her she said I have left the pots for you and there is some ironing if you fancy it I just laughed it off but I am feeling upset that all my family think I do nothing all day .
My sister who works full time (no kids) was moaning at me about how I had it so easy and my other sister with one child just takes the pee aswell.
I do feel sorry for myself today she has completley screwed up my day I was meant to be taking my dd's to the city library and had to go and pay some bills .
Just fed up of my crappy family at the moment sorry for rant.

Rant away! families do suck sometimes.

there is an easy fix .. ask them to spend a day with you on a normal day and then go out

edam · 08/07/2008 09:35

Ooh, I like Twig's idea. Sounds like they are all taking you forgranted. Make a stand!

Tommy · 08/07/2008 09:35

poor you
I know how you feel - I apparently have time to do lots of things for other during the day because I don't "work" - never mind that every time you want to do anything it's a small military operation trying to organise everything
Could you use your time at your Mum's chatting on her phone to a friend in Austarlia or somewhere?

What makes me laugh is the one time my sister (with no dc) had my dd she brought her back and she was shattered (sister not dd).
They really do horrify me sometimes with the attitude they have about me .
They think my dd with sn is just mollycoddled and needs a good telling off and that will sort her our!!! Even after reading a letter from our OT they refuse to accept she has SN .
