I have posted about this before and appreciate its not a real problem in comparison to many others on here but I so feel the need to rant. Perhaps one of you has a similar situation?
I phoned my mum this morning to get DD (aged 2) to thank her for easter eggs. Spoke to mum afterwards who just moannnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeddddddddddd. Alot.
Its just so bloody exhausting. Sh moaned she couldnt hear what DD was saying (not sure why), then went on about how some kids won't even know its easter (dont know what that was about) and then went into the intricate detail of a conversation between her and my sister who had fallen out with my father but were now talking again. Incidentally I dont have a relationship with my father so really dont want to hear about him. She then moaned some more about a friend she works with and how she will be really peed off if she gets part time because my mum wasnt allowed when she asked. Some what irrlevant given that she cant afford to work PT. If I get my sympathetic hat on I know what all this about. She got herself into deep financial trouble last year and ended up virtually bankrupt. She called me yesterday morning and gave me about an hours in depth discussion of her finances. I just dont know what she wants me to say. I dont have spare money to give her (even though I have given them about £1000 in the last year or so) and I cant help feeling that she needs to take repsosibility. She literally spent £30k on nothing! DH says I should limit my calls both in frequency and time. It just seems sad when we get on in every other way.
OK. Now MY moan is over.
