  • I hope DGD really enjoyed her birthday today and you managed to recharge your batteries in time for her party tomorrow.....DGD is a VERY lucky little girl.

    PEARCIDER, Mooloo will do her best for her DGD, because she always has done. DGD has been lucky enough to experience holidays abroad and many other lovely days out etc.

    yes by one of her grandchildren, am talking about her own children, never mind the rest of her grandchildren, so there you go robby robin I have been reading
    I am not perfect by any manner or means but like I say I would walk 500miles or more if I had to help any of my children.

    Oh yes, I'm sure you would, Pearcider.....if you had any. I'm certain that if you had twin teenager daughters with learning difficulties who were encouraged by SS to live independant lives and become pregnant almost immediately, and if you had a younger son who also had a certain amount of learning difficulties, no husband/partner, health problems, financial problems, compounded by the antics of the teenage daughters/their partners/their so-called friends - of course you would be helping them all...until your own health failed.

    Judge not, that you be not judged.

    and now the shop I can't see how its going to work if her dgd is ill the shop will be shut or if its inset days, holidays etc.
    oh and for your info althogh I am disabled I pay my own way, brought my girls up alone and like I say get on with it, plenty of others do

    Pearcider you sound very bitter.
    Perhaps you should start your own thread as you could obviously do with a bit of support and encouragement..?

    And your point is?
    Mama read so much about the dangers of drinking alcohol and eating chocolate that she immediately gave up reading.

    I guess pearcider has been at the pear cider. So if WE play nice we'll write it off as drunk in charge & hope she moves on.

    Unfortunately when people are unhappy with their own lives they tend to lash out at others.

    Pearcider you've made a poor start here but why not start your own thread looking for support and start over rather than make inappropriate comments on this thread.

  • I've read all Mooloo's threads, but have felt up till now that the advice she has been given has all been given by people far more knowledgeable than me.

    How many times should anyone have to rescue an adult child? Why should a parent put themselves into debt for a child they have fought hard to get support for, but who won't engage with that support? Why should Mooloo's grand daughter be pushed around so that she can go rescue twin 2? When does it stop? Will you still be expecting her to be chasing around after Twin 2 when she is in her 90's? Because as far as I can see Twin 2 does not have the capacity to care for anyone (including herself).

    Mooloo has had to make some tough decisions regarding her family, many of which have been completely heart wrenching and devastating.

    Defo think pear cider has escaped from under her bridge. Also think it's someone using a new name or someone known to family, strange how pc started posting after mooloo blocked twin 2 s landlady calls..or is it just me?

    I give up, I have lost the thread of what pear cider was implying. Is there another missing post?
    I have done everything I can to help all of my family. And there is nothing I can do to help twin2 if she won't be helped.
    If my shop fails Pear Cider you can gloat. Until then don't judge my working abilities on your so called knowledge of me. If you do know me personally, then hiding behind here is rather lame. If you don't really know me, what you say doesn't really matter that much.
    Today I am feeling much better.
    DGDs party will go ahead.
    Yesterday she also had a good day and was happy enough.
    We will visit her Mum in the week once the place has been made clean again. Not before.
    dGD2, will be at the party later.
    We will also send our thoughts out to our boys wherever they may be.
    DS's bike is in the garage.
    His GF hasn't transport, so is unable to help at the moment.
    I have now started to arrange other help.
    When DGD is ill, then another friend will also help step in either with DGD or with keeping the shop open for me.
    I have school holidays childcare covered.
    Grandad cannot support anymore as he has a new job that takes him further away.
    Molly and her daughter came to see DGD today, spoilt her with some lovely new clothes. She is wearing an outfit now ready for her party.
    We are all set up.
    The sun is out so we have games etc set out in the garden.
    Although it's a bit chilli when a cloud comes over.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Well, I am not a saint. I've spent my life fire fighting the nuclear fall out from dealing with the family. The twins are 25 years old, I have done everything I can, paid their debts, chased across the country to pick them up, spent hours searching for them when they went missing. Done their washing, cleaned their mess up, and thrown drug addicts out of their homes. I've been to meetings with social services, police. Councils, housing, I've fought their corner non stop.
    But there comes a time when I have to sit on my hands and let them fail, I will be there when they want me. I always have been.
    Yes I will put what I feel down here. You may not agree. It has been my safety valve, and my sanity had been saved by doing so.
    If you want to personally slag me off, go ahead. Feel free!
    There are around 700 plus regular readers of my Ramblings, and in 7 years of telling my life your only the second or third nasty voice. Considering the number of vicious and foul mouthed posts that are on MSE at times, I have been incredibly lucky.
    I have met some wonderful and helpful people through here, and they have helped all of my family over time.
    I am no worse then any one else. I am a human being, I have my faults, and I realise that. So, if you want to be a spiteful tongue and get all your pent up anger out, then that's fine by me. I haven't asked for any posts to be deleted.
    I am what I am, a mother of 4 adults who had to bring them up on my own. I worked through all that time. I took in my grandchildren, even after suffering from a serious illness, but I could t keep all of them. I did my best.
    I will continue to do my best, for what it is worth. I will continue to post, as that is my way.
    Now, you are of course Intitled to your opinions, and are free to post, but if the board monitors have deleted your posts, then that just speaks volumes, and perhaps it's time for you to get back into what ever it was you used to do before you started to comment on my thread just to be awkward.
    You post as if you know me, so I suggest if you do know me, you tell me what your problem is in real life.
    Thankyou for your posts but please just don't bother anymore as I won't read or acknowledge them anymore. I have wasted enough time over them now.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.
