Oh my god chartreuse, spot on. Sometimes when I make comments about what sort of mum she is, I think my god I sound preachy and hippy, and I am totally not that type of mum. It’s hard, it’s challenging, it’s testing, but you hot nail on the head, it’s fun, amusing, ever changing, wacky.. so many feelings you feel. And you’d be mad to miss it all.. it’s all part of parenting.
yes as a mother in law she will be hard work. Very reminiscent of my own I suspect - a now lonely, but selfish one, whose glory days have long gone and now her own family only see her out of duty… sad really. But totally self imposed. Yes I’m a cow - but this girl needs look after her own family now.
Hahaha
@bystanderbynature that spirit meme is spot on!
I feel sorry for her, she's missed out on all the fun bits of parenting, she's done barely anything child orientated for her kids over the years, it's all about her. The sad part is she's totally oblivious/disinterested in what she's missing out on. She'll be in for a shock if milo gets married, she's definitely the narcissistic, over bearing drama queen mother in law you'd feel no guilt about shutting out of your lives.
god I just re read your last two lines - that’s me and my MIL!! Down to a T! I had to shut that book. Don’t need the drama when I have little kids to look after and my own life to run!
