I have a mum who is abit of a pee taker and doesn't show emotions. She is hard to be myself around and I don't introduce her to friends because I know she will make me feel stupid Infront of them
I just rang her for a normal chat as we don't visit often as I find it hard work for reasons I won't bore you with. I just let my kids go out to play in the garden after we got back from a walk. With the heavy rain our little sand water tray has come rain water in. My toddler filled the watering can up and I saw him tip it over his head. I went out straight away and typical boy, he was laughing. My daughter was laughing at him too. I said to them stop we don't don't do that in winter. Then my mum said in a mocking voice
Laura don't say we don't do that. Say Arthur stop doing that now. Talking like a posho. I literally didn't know what to say so I said I suppose you responded with swear words too us. Then she said you are picking up your four year olds teachers voice and cackled.
I was trying to deal with the kids and she ended u distracting me from making them understand. I told me mum a while ago that my child was quoting her teacher alot and she was like a little old lady. This is one thing she does say we instead of I.
Now I'm cringing because my mum will be telling my sister about it and laughing at me. It just came out like that. I don't particularly say things in any way I was just multi tasking. Aghhh
Isn't it hard to parent Infront of parents or is it just me.
