I hope you had a good Christmas or at very least a tolerable one.
I have been away from the net since Christmas Eve, so have a lot to say - **essay warning**:D
Thankfully, the fog went away and flights were OK. Had a good trip down. We got an upgrade to our car and got a people carrier, a monster but had loads of space. It was an automatic and my husband kept putting on the brake to change gear:eek: thankfully, there was no other traffic around.
It was good to get away and seem mum and stepdad. Seem to sleep better there too or is it Bournemouth sea air? Had a nice lunch and sat around watching TV and DVDs when we got back from lunch.
We all seemed to get on well and there were no rows. My mother did limit the booze tho, as she didn't want us to get too drunk, have a hangover the next day or us end up in a row. I had a fair bit of booze but our son wanted to keep drinking. It later transpired my husband was upset at not getting more booze and later slated my mother to me about it.
She was the mother and I guess we were all the children, so more equal and gave me a break. I backed her up re discipline when she told them off, I agreed with what she said, I would have stood up for them if I agreed with them, I judge on individual merits. I constantly feel undermined by my husband re our son's discipline, so it is pot kettle black if he didn't like me not backing him up.
Two days was enough as it was quite cramped and people having to move bedrooms and not sleeping so well, which can cause friction if people are more tired. My mother is rather eccentric and I know what it is like staying with her (I would nuts if I had to live with her again!) but OK for two days.
I took her to the shops and she can be rather snappy to me in public which psses me off. But I think she enjoyed having the girly time and we had a natter.
We all set off back to the airport and had a lovely drive thro Sussex. Checked in fine, then then trouble began.
They wanted to lookin in HMV at the games, I went to Boots and said I would meet them at the Whisky Shop. There was no-one there when I got there and no-one answered their phones, so I felt panicky. Gatwick South shopping area is huge and it was busy. Of course when we met up, they got at me. My husband changed the arrangement without telling me and they were both vile to me. All I wanted was some consideration as to how I felt and an apology, as they changed the meeting arrangements without telling me.
They were adamant and didn't apologise. I didn't let it drop. We didn't make it loud or annoy others but felt very undermined by my husband. He needed to teach our son some manners but refused to. I was upset more by my son and then my husband at not supporting me. I do feel we are going to split in the new year but I am worried our son is picking up my husbands bad attitude. My mother noticed how horrible he was too without any prompting from me.
Nice to hear it was good in the main, apart from the Gatwick incident. Sadly, it sounds like your son has inherited your husband's bad manners0 -

A son who thinks we owe him the world for being our son and that a cheap set of bath cubes will make me smile, it did the trick I did, and said thankyou why i don't know,
A daughter who came around but didn't bring the children they were busy doing their thing.....
Must be the way I raised them but hey ho if they are in trouble and need someone to speak to who do they phone in the middle of the night? good old mum,
Moral is you are not alone, no one is perfect or makes the perfect parent and just want to say Health Wealth and much happiness to you in the new year from your mates on here.

I seem to be staying up late as it's Christmas
About to go to bed
I'm okay. Discovered my feelings for 'S' are getting stronger and stronger. I don't think she likes me like that, flatmate says there is a possibility and thinks we would make a great couple
How are you?0 -
I'm glad you are okay Miro, and glad that things are okay with 'S'. Strong feelings can be really scary, especially when you don't think they are returned. But you are a lovely man, I'm sure S must see that now.
I'm fine, thanks for asking.
I've been reasonably good with going to bed at a sensible time, but I just don't want to right now.
Hope you are fast asleep by nowStay-at-home, attached Mummy to a 23lb 10oz, 11 month old baby boy.0 -
