I need to get it off my chest and my mother has just gone off in a huff so I cant talk about it with her.
My mother is brilliant with DS and has him about 1 night a week.
The only problem is she has a habit of upsetting people of a regular basis, mainly me i add. I have/am suffering from PND and have now for 3 years. I am a bit low at the moment (due on), and in those 3 years my mum has never once put her arms round me or said anything enchoraging (sp), her idea of support has been pull yourself together.
Everytime she seems me its dig after dig after dig, today she was due to pick up ds at 4, she came at 2.55 pm and i wasn't ready, if fact having a bad day, have a stinking headache and really couldn't deal with her constant digs, saying things to ds like, oh mummy could get you dressed properly because he had an odd sock on that sort of thing. In the end I asked her if it was her aim to wind me up everytime she sees me. Her reaction is the same as when i try to tell her about how she makes me feel she turns on the waterworks.
Before I had my DS and lived on my own I saw her about once a fortnight for about 20 minutes, now because of ds its 3/4 times. I remember having glandula fever and being really ill for about a month and she didn't even come to see me, even though she has a car and lives 1 mile away.
Anyway just wanted to get it off my chest, at least DH will be home in a couple of hours.
Sorry if i have gone on a bit. Thanks for listening.
