Just checking it's not me, spent afternoon in tears as a client bullied me via email too. Now I have to go home and put a face on and pray he is ok xxx

We all have our moments that we aren't proud of I'm sure, things that could have gone better. But texting a conversation is usually a more controlled response..

I will gather up all my will and insist on respect.. people don't have to like your decisions, but those close to you should respect your role.. The problem with that is only you know your circumstances...

I would (and have) cut my losses with people close... but that's only what I would do... my daughter had a fight with us when her baby was one year old.... those 2 weeks were the hardest days when relating to the little one... however my sister fell out with us when my dad died 10 years ago. We haven't healed the rift. (Please don't fall out with your daughter over my comments)

I won't MFD My OH brother and sister fell out with us (not our fault or SIL ) rift is healed with SIL

I do realise she will need me first. That's the funny thing they both need me more than I need them.

Hopefully DD will text or messenger me tomorrow and it will be forgotton but Saturday and the above text really hurt xxx

Like greent, I didn't want to read and not comment. I think you are an exceptional talented lady. You are a pretty tough cookie too. You have your own ambitions and goals which you are consistently working to fulfil. I for one, am rooting for you.

Go SueP !!

Oh my. Yes, your OH has taught your daughter to bully you. Sadly, Sue, if you accept that sort of insult from someone, they keep doing it.

"Dont talk that way to me" comes to mind

Hi Sue, same for me, not much to add, except that if it was me, think I would reply with something like -

Let DD contact you first, that way you may get a couple of days peace When asked if coming over - then, reply would be something like - Not sure if the car will be fixed on time, and so, if you want an answer right now, lets just cancel, that way it gives you plenty time to make other arrangements. (That way - you're the one making the decision/in control)

As for grocery shopping - as you say if 10 bananas are there, they'll be eaten, not sure if you shop weekly, or do as you are thinking, buy less (that made me laugh) and as there was a little mistake on the headache tablets, then you are only, (did I say only??) spending approx £50 over the £300 mark

It's really hard to giver advice, but we're here to offer support - so as they say, be strong, and start making small but positive decisions - don't be railroaded into feeling you're doing wrong.

It's time for "me time".

:rotfl:just read my first line again - that's me not got much to add:rotfl:

Well today is another day, as they say :D:D I just wish I could stop feeling like I'm going to cry any minute. Thanks for the support, I know n times of stress DD is very father like, I will let her stew today

Pulled a corker with topcashback I have been waiting 6 weeks for my p*st office broadband contract to end

Short update on DD

She lasted to 12.06 !!! Thank god she doesn't sulk like her dad

She's not apologised but I do feel a small victory, maybe next time I will have courage to say hey where's my sorry


Topcashback tracked so I have made a total of £212.50 in 2 months and 10 days :T:T:T

My husband once told me that when he was a child his father used to go in sulks for a whole week where he wouldn't speak to my mother-in-law at all...not a single word. :undecided

I just can't imagine what that must be like.
