In summary. They favour my brother's elder daughter have done for years.

But it was her birthday recently. My kids get £10 in an envelope, DD2 got a home made dolls house.

Neice got an Ipod Touch from them.

I am going to have to speak to them - my two are gutted. (DN has been crowing by email to DD1)

Help me frame the conversation so it doesn't descend into a shouting match?

yes she disappeared last time this happened - however, some of us believed her from the start and had laughed along with her on the AIBU car thread - there were - afaik - no reason not to tell people off of MN the truth.

On some of the threads (long since gone as they were in chat) we support her getting her head around his wealth.

After I posted that I realised there were loads more posts on here and that things had gone on considerably - sorry - I'm quite new here and didn't realise there were more pages! Ignore me - I'm a durr-brain!

I can make up my own mind and believe whatever I want Grin

If you are referring to me SAF (again), maybe you could take your own advise and rather than keep labouring the same point on this thread, you could PM me with any problem you seem to have.

you wouldn't want to come across as just 'having a bitch' on here now would you.

As an interested Lurker, just an observation: Surely she's not reappeared because she's a little busy with the man and her dcs at present?

You just don't get it. MN is far more important that RL!!! Grin

Well I for one, am pretty pissed off.

Ive spent the last hour and half (between making bottles, making cups of tea, and eating half way through a box of mini egg cakes Blush ]

In the hope nearing the end the OP had managed to gain the courage, to tell her mother and the rest of the bullies to fook off.

Im not aware of the situation prior to this thread, however, it is clear the OP has not been completely honest, and has lied needlessly previously, when has sent alarm bells ringing.

I was only going to type a bit of moral support for the OP, was also going to type a bit of advice, I noticed from your posts, it was clear you were almost was relying on your DP to put on his superman pants, and Zapp the family issues away.

If this family situation is true, just wanted to say OP [ especially, as it is now clear, that the relationship was finished recently, and DP was called I believe a knob?] this man, may not be around forever. Only you can sort this issue out with your family.

You stated he would answer the phone all day, on the birthday of your mothers. You DP is not always going to be there to answer the phone, maybe you will have a lovely lifelong relationship together, but even if this is the case, he is not going to be sat by the telephone forever.
