I'm just being silly. I know I will get a photo. Mothering Sunday is not important - sIL's mother is just sneaky and books the date before they realise the day if you see what I mean. She did it last year too. DD is clued up now. They are just a funny lot and DD is struggling to keep them away - they just turn up every day unannounced and she is not getting enough rest.
It'll work out.
Let's go back to being positive. :j :j0 -
I think I might have an early night, feel a bit flat so before I go all maudlin I might just have a read and go to sleep.
See you all tomorrow xBut these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -
evening peeps,
Bookie - sounds like a bit of a situation for your DD to be in. The fact is, shet she can rely on you to be understanding and not moan while you lose out and she keeps her inlaws happy.... typical woman, trying to please all of the people all of the time! something has to give, shame it is you though honey.....I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0 -

Bookie, most mothers reckon that their sons spend more time with the wife's mother. Sounds as though you have got the sticky end of the stick.
Wonder if she will be as keen to do all the baby sitting and child minding :think:

Scaredy, the pile will soon shrink. It's amazing how much of it you will be able to shred.
Good Luck for tomorrow and what a lovely friend you have.Official DFW Nerd Club - Member no: 203.0
