After the birth of my second baby, he was days old, she and my sister came to see him for the first time.
They sat in their coats in the dining room while I breast fed the baby, waiting for me to finish so I could make them a tea and crumpets.
They said they had come for tea and brought crumpets.
Sat there waiting for me, 3 days after giving birth to serve them.
I said to them to stick the kettle on and shove them in the toaster, but she just shouted back that they would wait for me to do it.
When I said I was a bit busy, she got all huffy and repeated that they would wait for me to do it.
Should have told them both to piss off really but of course I didn’t, I shuffled around the kitchen in pain, not showered, zero sleep and served them like a fucking idiot.
What goes through people’s minds? Are they that bloody blind and self absorbed that they don’t even think about how shit they are being?
They stayed about an hour, drank the tea ate the crumpets and left me the dirty plates and a screaming baby.
Pfffft. That’s just one small example of how shit she is and has been over the years. I could tell you loads of things. I’m short, she has always been a very very difficult person who I have always been frightened of due to her aggression and violence and have had a shitty life. I have kept her at arms length.
She’s old and Health is declining. I am her first port of call for anything she needs doing and it secretly grates on me.
I do the practical stuff for her. Everything she asks of me.
When someone has been a crap person all those years then needs you, it IS a challenge isn’t it to swallow it all down and do the decent thing.
Anyone similar?
