I am on a visit to DD. Yesterday, we were in her kitchen chatting and getting lunch and I went in the fridge for something and noticed some fruit well past its use by date....
To cut a long story short I then went through her fridge taking out other items which were well out of date, going off etc. i thought at the time I was being helpful and it was fun. I even teased her a bit about wasting food.
She seemed okay but later in the day she blurted out that she had felt criticised and she was obviously upset.
I was astounded initially but later I thought I was out of order and wondered how I had thought it was okay to go through her fridge chucking stuff out. She is 46 years old!
I feel guilty and I'm hoping i'm not the only mother who does such things.
Good Morning Friday 19th April 2024
