Hear, Here,’Ere and Ear - I also feel the same for
@Geranium - so not fair to her
at all. So glad you said that - I just feel there is a lack of sensitivity that is beyond. I think we are on the same page - you, me and
@Miscanthus and God knows, we can’t all be wrong. Sending so much support,
@Geranium - but, in the words of Donna Summer/Barbra Streisand
Enough is Enough
OMG - I would love if y’all came to Dublin - Imagine? We would have the craic - I honestly do believe we will all get together one day!
@Namima, like
@Oops said - hoping you are coping with the loss of your mum - I understand that your priority is your dad but this is also a huge loss for you. We have spoken about grief a bit on our threads and Mothers Day is a really profound one for us, so I can appreciate the rawness of your grief. Look after yourself and remember that we are here.
For my part - I’m trying to keep a certain teenage boy from my daughter’s bedroom - I feel like I haven’t read the memo on what is considered acceptable in this scenario - I spent the afternoon with my sister actually afraid to go home and face it! Eventually arrived home and her younger sister told me that they have been in her bedroom all afternoon? Mr MK was at a rugby match and, anyway, there is no way I would share that information with him because a) he would go ballistic, and b) he would wonder why I hadn’t stopped it.
My sister thinks young love is everything as she is with her partner since they met in college at 19. My daughter’s bf is lovely, well mannered- and - as you all know - she has had severe anxiety issues and an actual breakdown, so .. a blind eye for the greater good? I don’t know. I’ve looked after the contraceptive side but I just feel the ick about
the entire afternoon? I dunno, back in the day, it was a furtive fumble.. but a whole afternoon? And what does that say to the younger sister?
Listen, I know it’s no big deal and
thank you for listening but you know those moments when you’re not quite sure what way to react in unchartered territory. On the one hand, we hid everything from our parents and, on the other, it’s maybe too in your face? Anyway, lots love to all of you this weekend - as I said before, the climate will be nothing compared to Moll Dives / Northamptonshire but we will live in hope
so sorry to hear that.
.. I am thankfully much relieved this morning. A matter of dispensing talcum powder liberally and letting the air at it as they say 
donate?
