a small (ish) moan about my aunt.......demented and insane woman (argh)

psychohohohoho · 06/01/2009 20:55

just a bloody long rant teeny tiny moan.

she rang earlier......

she apparently bumped into someone at the weekend, and needed to tell me about it.

she asked me if I remembered when I was small, before I started school, and remembered the special nursery I went to (it was for children in special circumstances......ie, foster care, difficult home life etc).

yes, I said.

she then asked if I remembered my little friend from then (M), again, yes.

and did I remember that I used to 'holiday' with them when she and my uncle used to go away without me.

NO, I do NOT remember having 'holidays' with them, however, I DO remember being abandoned to all and sundry when they both went on their exotic holidays, without me.

yes, abandoned I say.....with 'friends' from nursery, Girls brigade leaders, neighbours, aunts and uncles that were not actually related to me by blood...

the is TRULY TRULY demented if she thinks I looks back on those times fondly.

altho, TBH, I probably did enjoy them at the time, as they were with NORMAL people.....!!!!

tis crap isn;t it, having upbringings like that.

DH is trying to be a star about it......he keeps saying that it makes me a better mum, and makes me appreciate things being good now.

doesn;t help when she is ringing me up tho, and have to SEE her this week too.

you need to change your number again, or get a caller ID thingy

psychohohohoho · 06/01/2009 21:15

me thinks so.

problem is, I just tend to grab the phone rather than checking who it can be.......you would think I should have learnt by now wouldn;t you.

ho hum!

Or a phone with a "special" ring tone just for her I find the adams family very effective!

On a sensible note your dh is right, this is what will make you a good mum. Doesn't stop you from having a good rant here tho'

HappyPSYCHOnewYear · 06/01/2009 21:17

I like the idea of an 'adams family' ringtone, just for her......would be VERY apt!

HappyPSYCHOnewYear · 07/01/2009 19:06

just to add to my joy.....she wants to come over tomorrow.......my brother and SIL are planning on coming tomorrow for dinner with htere baby DD......(assuming I am better now I seem to be coming down with the lurgy), and aunty wants to come too.

HappyPSYCHOnewYear · 07/01/2009 19:07

see.....she makes so so ragh, I instead of the right face.......!

TheArmadillo · 07/01/2009 19:09

I bet you are really looking forward to that

can you offer her a quiet night in at her own house while you take her guests off her hands?

Jacksmama · 07/01/2009 19:09

is this your mother's sister? does she have the same, errrrmmm, difficulties as your mother?

oh dear

((((((((((HUG))))))))))))?

HappyPSYCHOnewYear · 07/01/2009 19:12

jacksmama.....I wonder, I truly do wonder!

armadillo.......they feel the same about her, and are coming down from coventry......(ie, she hasn;t seen them either), and were also trying to avoid her. my brother tho seems to think that sharing her lessens the agony, but I am not sure who for......

Jacksmama · 07/01/2009 19:21
HappyPSYCHOnewYear · 07/01/2009 19:22

thankyou.....I will so need that

Jacksmama · 07/01/2009 19:24

it's 8 hours earlier here so our shops will be open later if you run out...

TheArmadillo · 07/01/2009 19:27

Can you drug her?

Or I'd start on the vodka early.

Or bribe your children to tie her up and lock her in cupboard, gagged. you can 'discover' her at the end of the evening.

DisasterArea · 07/01/2009 19:28

bonkers.

what is with ma relatives selective memories.
today i received a christmas care from my so called father. i haven't heard anythingfrom him for about 5 years and didn't know he had my address. will be having words with y mother if it was her who gave it to him. am now living in fear he may turn up. do not want that at all.

DisasterArea · 07/01/2009 19:29

that should be

mad
card
my

HappyPSYCHOnewYear · 07/01/2009 19:34

DA, are you a teeny bit ranty there??

HUGE sympathy tho....mad relatives are such a PITA.

LOL @ armadillos idea.....I LIKE

Squirdle · 07/01/2009 20:36

Oh psycho! You poor thing!

As you know my parents also seem to have completely lost their memory about how it was like when we were children. No idea what they were like and the things they put us through, no idea how much they let me down at 16...none whatsoever. My mother will bang on about how she used to do this and that (all good as far as she is concerned) but I don't remember any of it! Tis odd!

I wish wish wish you could be a bit stronger towards her and just tell her you don't want to see her, but I fear you are too much like me and can't do it!

Anyway, you have to put up with visiting me next week and that's gotta be worse

HappyPSYCHOnewYear · 08/01/2009 07:41

yes squidle, visiting!!! I am so looking forward to seeing you.

Jacksmama · 08/01/2009 20:19

Sooooo... how did it go?

HappyPSYCHOnewYear · 08/01/2009 20:46

t'was ok..........my brother was more scared. made me feel better actually that he also feels like it about her and we can have a mutual moan. I am not alone.....

I haven;t had wine yet, the girls are at scouts and DH isn;t feeling wel (me thinks he has whatever I had yesterday), and so is in bed and I have to do the scout run.

I WILL be drinking after tho!

Jacksmama · 08/01/2009 20:58

Cheers!!

Squirdle · 08/01/2009 21:28

Squidle! Squidle! Well!!!

Glad it went ok today. Bet it was nice to see your brother (and he does have a very cool name )
