An early Easter egg for upset daughter is a very good idea, Sodapop. If you can afford it the spa break or any break, a chocolate hotel one? sound a good idea for you or both you and daughter.

Good idea Grandmablue! What woman can resist that ? Or even book a meal out for the two of you?

Or better still, book you both in x

Pack an overnight bag, book yourself in to a spa hotel and enjoy..... bunnies to the lot of them I say!!!

Thanks Sodapop, yes, I do have an Easter Egg for her ?

Oh dear CrazyH walking on eggshells is habitual to us Mums isn't it. Emails and similar often are interpreted differently by the recipient from what was intended.
Can you play peacemaker with some Easter chocs for your daughter ?

Hope things are resolved soon.

I have 3 women in the family - all extremely feisty, highly strung and very sensitive and I am in the middle. There's always some little niggle, which is always brushed over. But last week, a quite harmless banter on our whatsapp family group chat, turned into a fairly nasty row. My daughter commented about one of the little ones who is sure to go far because he has an ambitious mum or something like that- d.i.l. got offended, went on her high horse - I told my daughter to be extra careful when bantering because not everyone gets her jokes. Then my daughter accused me of favouring d.i.l. and there's now a Cold War. And she left the family group....not talking to me either.
Easter is almost here, the two sons do their own thing with their young families. Usually my daughter (she is divorced, like me) and her teenage kids come to me for Easter Lunch but nothing has been mentioned. The kids will probably go to their other grandparents. My daughter and I will be sulking alone in our respective houses. Oh I wish I could just disappear ???????- I'm sure it will sort itself out but I just wanted to offload on here. Thanks for listening xx
