to hav made my mother cry, she told my dd off for making a happy shriek and said to was a horrid noise....

[drpumpkinbread]

so i told her not to tell my dd off for making a happy squel,as her singing is horrible but we have to put up with that horrid noise.

then she starts crying ffs

well i could of handled it better.

but how?

suppose i bottled it up, then snapped.

yanbu - why should your mum be allowed to tell your dd off and you not be allowed the same right to tell HER that her noise isnt nice ?

45 mins of crying for goodness sake that's ridiculous.Have she got depression of some kind? (trying to find some kind of reason for it)

If it was my mother I would be really concerned about her-not annoyed!

I have a wailer in my family. It is very manipulative and it is annoying.

Is this her normal response to any kind of words being had?

she often just goes quite and says nothing and broods

Have you tried asking her why she goes quiet and what she broods about?

She cried for 45mins? You stupid foolish woman! If you are for real, there is something clearly going on with your mother. She is suffering and it's got nothing to do with your dd.

Try hugging her and asking what's wrong.

well she's a bit of a nutter!

but i suppose i was a bit snappy

So, the crying was unusual. Did she just go off and cry by herself? Did you ask her what was up?

i asked her whats up and she goes, oh you said my singing is horrible, you should never stop someone from singing because it means they are happy!

told you shes nutter!

I think she needed a big hug and a cup of tea while you asked her what it was all about. It would seem much kinder than posting on here so that everyone can tell you that she is a horrible woman!

Nutter or not, to cry for 45mins, to sit and be broody, the woman is clearly hurting over something. Are you always this dismissive of people's feelings?

i love you rhubarb

How old is she? Could she be menopausal?

Allie, are you sure you love me or do you just wanna nail me?

i'm 38 weeks pregnant. I couldn't nail anything even if I wanted to

was she complaining of a stinkybum?

lol what funny thread this has turned out to be.

Ooooooh! How's it going? Not seen you for aaaaages!

i am very rotund. i don't get on here much anymore.

Is that because your belly won't fit under the desk?

it won't. i'm also stroppy as hell. i couldn't even muster much niceness for my cyber friends

Pointless question without knowing:

A) What was involved in her telling off of your DD

B) What was involved in your telling off of DM

C) How you can watch your mother cry for 45 mins - is this normal? I cry if I see my mum cry for 45 seconds. I haven't seen her cry for more then 5 minutes since the last death in our family.

YABU to ask this while supplying such scant info about an apparently very odd situation.
