:rotfl:Maybe it is especially if you're feeling unwell and grumpy. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill! (Terrible cliche:rotfl:) p.s hope you feel better soon. Lots going around. My daughter has been coughing and spluttering for ages and I'm just starting!

Hiya Poet - ((((((((HUGS)))))))

Family stuff> People winding each other up, tactlessness & comments on people's weight, cause of death & whose to blame for it before it's happened. All stuff that families are made of.
Over reacting - we all do what we do & sometimes it's good to be able to let off steam & sometimes the letting off of steam clears the air.

Hope the cold clears quick. OH snored all night & reckoned he had a cold. He has & I wasn't very understanding last night. I think if we could all get a decent night's sleep we'd be better off. It does make you feel under the weather & I think susceptable to colds & stuff going the rounds.
Poet I'm sure peace will descend in the household & this will blow over but I would have been annoyed too.
All the best.

Hi Poet,

I'd drop the word over and just say your were simply reacting - it's just what humans do. Release the stress you feel - punch a pillow, walk in the wind and shout, have a cry. Then if it feels possible tell the people involved how you are feeling, without pointing the finger at them. Then move on. It's your peace of mind that matters.

I'm quick to react too and know how these things escalate.

Be strong.

oh poet big hugss my dear. were u over reacting?? well who knows as its hard to comment not having been there. the things is you felt that your MIL was getting at u and making u feel guilty. maybe she didnt mean it that way but thats how u took it and u have every right to be upset. the thing is u KNOW u arent contributing to it, hes abig boy and he has to make his decisions. trust me from one who has been VERY overweight NOTHING anyone says wil lmake you do it til u are ready to do it. have a nice relaxing bath and forget about it, we all go off on one sometimes (i certainly do!!)

Hi everyone,
Poet....we all know what it feels like to be 'got at'.....everyone feels like that sometimes...hopefully she didn't mean it that way. I think when we are feeling stressed or a bit ill, we do take things the wrong way. Try to be calm and relax...Im sure things will sort themselves out.

I've been feeling rubbish today...generally unwell, not too sure why...my head feels strange again. If I carry on like this...I may end up going to the Docs for a dose of HRT...

Hope you haven't all been blown away today by the rain and wind.:eek:

Have a peaceful and restful night .......;)

So, what do you think? if you think I am over reacting please tell me I can take it.

I don't think you are, my lovely - just "reacting" as Joyfull has said.

She said what she said, and you feel what you feel.

It is what it is, and there's no way you can be in the wrong for having feelings.

Big hugs my lovely, mine drives me mad too. :mad:

Mostly, I understand why she's being the way she is, and mostly, I am philosophical about her and kind to her - but if she catches me on a day when I'm in pain and feeling poo then I'm not making any promises. :eek:

Having said all this, I don't have any kind of solution for you. Will having a massive rant about it make you feel better or worse? :D Half the time it helps me get it out of my system - and the other half I think I would have been better off just putting it behind me.

Tomorrow is another day chick - I hope you feel better then.
