we havea very unsettled relationship due to her failure to protect me when i was young, but at the mo i pick her up when i have car and she comes to ours to see dd.
i have little respect for her because of my childhood, but barring that all she ever does is tell me im 'not right' or im 'too stressed'..then today when i was explaining to dd she had to wat her lunch otherwise the toy id just bought her would stay in box(she had booster this morning)..my mother then said if you dont eat your lunch, i wont be playing with you and you cant play in your playroom!.
this was 12pm, shell be here until 4pm, my dd has a playroom of her own..and apart from anything else who the f*ck does she think she is!
obviously someone was going to have to step down, obvilusly it was gunna be us/me cos i said she couldnt have toy then she chirped in a bout not playing with her all in one sentence, so dd would just think ahhh, nana makes mammy change her mind..HA..to you!
so now, dd upset about not being able to play in HER payroom...so i said to my mother, you cant tell her you wont play/she cant use her own playroom as 'incentive ' to eat, cos your obviously going to have to go back on it now!..all i got was hufff.sorry i was just doing what you do.arrrrrrrgghhh
i negotiate, i dont make myself look like a push over and i dont go over the top with threats to my dd
