Nearly ever year we go on holiday, i have 3 kid's and i also pay for my mom, this year i want to go to Centreparks and take the dog's, my mom doesnt want to go there, but i said to her 'well i always pay and i want to go there cause i can take the dogs' now she is in a strop,was i right to say that? or should i have kept my mouth shut. This isnt just on holiday's it is days out etc.... also my family pay for her too when they go anywhere, she never offers to pay or says thank you.

You most certainly are not a daft person! My point is that change is gooooooood! Don't shy away from it. Break out of the routine.

I'm sorry you had to leave your home under those circumstances (what an upheaval! Did you move far?) and I hope you find a new home soon.

thesunshinesbrightly · 12/01/2010 16:29

I know, you didnt mean i was daft as such

Leaving was the best thing i ever did for my children, dogs and for me and my sanity, i didnt move to far but at a distance where i dont have to see or hear from him Thank god. Thank you Heqet for your replies, I have come to my senses looks like i am having my break just Kids, me and my Dog's. Break will be good.

Thank you.

YANBU, she is for being so rude tbh. If you pay (and I would love to go to Centre Parks), then she should go where you want to really. If she is that against it, she doesn't have to go.

How ungrateful of her?!!!

Plenty of people would chew their own arm off for Centre Parcs (as it is so damned expensive)

"so sorry you don't want to come with us mum, but it is where we are going this year"

YANBU. If she doesn't want to go, then she should take her own money and go on her own vacation somewhere she wants.

The one who pays makes the rules. Period.

Sounds like you'll all have a better time without her anyway, tbh.

I think you should cancel the holiday and spend the money moving out instead.

Leave the freeloader at home.

Kimi that's harsh. OP doeslive with all her kids and her dogs in her mothers home.

Got to give her mum some credit for that!
