To cut a long story short, mum asked DH to negotiate in the sale or her (now wrecked, thanks to bro, who ran it into the ground) car.
She and Dad told me whatthey wanted him to negotiate to, which was not much more than they had been offered. They said they didn't care.
As soon as he did it and got £50 more than they had initially been offered, she kicked off that ist was too little. I managed to talk her round and she was ok when I left her last night.
This am I called dad about something else. Next thing he is kicking of that DH got too little. I tried to talk to him and it ended in him telling me to 'get lost' and hanging up.
10mins later, mum is on the phone telling me to forget it DH has 'let them down in the past' so whatever.
Um, excuse me, ha has what? When?
'oh I don't want to get into specifics, he just has'
I got upset and said she couldn't say that. She said that I said it first, everytime I turn to her when DH and I argue, so why shouldn't she?
We basically hung up on one another.
half an hour later and Dad appears at my house, full of remorse for our argument.
We made up, but mum refused to enter my house.
I went to her at the car to ask her to forget any nastiness that had been said on both parts.
She flew off the handle, telling me I had no right to criticise her and that she had every right to say what she did.
God this is not a short story.
Suffice to say, I tried twice to smooth things over but she was having none of it.
I said the ball is in your court if you want to hold onto your anger.
She told me I needn't come to her anymore with my probs with DH, I said she was burning her bridges, thats when she said what I said in my previous post.
I am just so fed up with her nastiness recently.
It has been going on since DS birthday(Halloween) when she caused a massive argument between me and my sis.
She has just been so nasty to me
But no-one is ever to tell her that she is wrong, nor will she apologise.
But I will be expected to.
Poor dad though, was broken hearted by the whole thing.
