I think it’s safe to say that it’s very difficult to get across on here how complicated my relationship with my mum is. Obviously I am happy for her, and as I said she is very entitled to do what ever she wants with the money.
what I was trying to say, without meaning to sound bitter, is that she has never struggled financially, has always bragged about her finances but has been on the receiving end of my panicking about finances time and time again. I’ve never gone to her begging for money. I’ve never asked her for money. I just needed her as a shoulder to cry on.
Now she’s in a fantastic position to be able to help. Not only me and my husband, but her grandkids as well, and she hasn’t. She might do in the future and I will be forever grateful if she chooses to do that.
for now though I’m a little bit annoyed that I haven’t crossed her mind.
Just to clarify I’m not here to piss anyone off with this post. Just wanted to vent a bit, and gain a different perspective. Which I have to be honest, so thank you to all those who have taken time to respond x
