Me and my husband are very active people we like going for lunch and doing activities/walks when we have time off together. My parents on the other hand are the total opposite they hate doing things that involve interacting or entertaining. When they come to our house they sit with their coats on even if it's for dinner and make excuses to go straight away. When I got married they suggested me and my husband elope and when we said we weren't eloping they said they'd go to the wedding but would leave at X time even though they were staying in the venue.
With Easter next week my mum has been at me and my husband to bring our new daughter over to her house. She suggested we visit this Friday and I said my husband was working and I can't drive due to having a c-section, I suggested she come out to us and she said no so she suggested the bank holiday Monday and I said no we are going out for
lunch for the day but she was more than welcome to join us.
She's now after getting really scorpy with me. My mum knows I am not allowed drive and also knows my husband works really long hours and I wouldn't have anyone I could ask to drive me over. My mum doesn't drive but won't ask my brother to drive her as she doesn't like to bother him and she wants us to go to hers for my brother to meet the baby as he's "too busy with work to come to our house and meet the baby" The other thing that annoys me about going to her house is I've to leave the room to feed. With my DS I had to feed him in another room and now with my DD I am more confident and refuse to be treated differently cos I choose to breastfeed. Sorry for the rant just needed to get it out there but would love some perspective
