My mother
Why has my DD1 gone and got married to that awful man who comes from an equal awful family? but then she never did anything I approved of anyway.Her two children are spoilt rotten, something I never did with my five.The house she lives in is in a horrible part of the city, there are so much nicer places she could have chosen to live, but then it is near his family so what do you expect.She tells me it is near where she works but that is no excuse.I would much prefer she lived where she was brought up.She says I am being selfish as I want her near so I can dominate her life.Then she has the cheek to complain that I dont visit her often and her children hardly know me.I like having her coming to visit but really after one hour I have had enough, especially when she brings her awful husband as well.Her dad and I cant stand him.

Why did my DS have to get married and not want to live with me anymore?.I am just a poor widow and relied on his wages to keep me because my pension is not enough.Now he has gone and got himself married to a girl who wants her own house and spends his money like water, money he should be giving to me.After all, I was the one who brought him up.If they lived with me I would not mind so much, as she works as well and that would be two wages coming in.But no she wants to take him away and throw away his money on buying her a house.His dad and I lived in one room when we got married so that should be good enough for them as well.She refuse to listen to my advice on looking after children.I have had two of my own and worked as a mother's help to posh people.Because she is a nurse she thinks she knows it all.I mean she will not give her children dummies, every baby needs a dummy to stop them feeling deprived.When I mind them for her I give them a dummy and she goes mad.All this modern faff about not giving them proper food as well.Both of mine were eating mince and mash potatoes at three months old it never did them any harm they just ate what I ate, no money around for fancy baby milk and strained foods.One day she will learn.
