I do love my mother ..I do love my mother I do love ...lol
Actually I do love my mother in a way that only a child can, I don't always like her and I often dislike her. Now that may sound harsh but mother in the past has done some rather horrible things that no loving mother should do to a teenage child or a growing adult.
Still as we are both older and *mellowed* (not sure about that bit) I now worry about her.
Over a year ago I was going frantic because I hadn't heard from her ..to eventually find out that her number had been changed and she forgot to tell me ! she still managed to make me feel guilty for not getting in touch !
Anyway last year as I was moving Mum decided she was also and needed me in the UK ..that could not happen apart from I have no valid passport and we had to buy a new car due to wild boar. Tony couldn't get more time off work for me to go to the UK . Since then I have tried to phone her over xmas and new year but not got a reply infact since Dec I haven't even got the answering machine. I presumed that she must have gone cruising again Jan to April (even tho' she said she wasn't)

NO she hadn't Mother dear phoned me yesterday
she hasn't moved
she hasn't changed her number again
she didn't bother to return my calls to depressed
..this from the person who phones me from an airport to fetch her because she has a headache ! or gets me out of work when she didn't feel well to tidy up because the doctor was coming....

BUT lo and behold Mother dear has after 6years finally decided to come to Spain to see me
in June for 3 weeks.
*gulps*
She is staying (with Saga) in a hotel 10K away thats cool
Now I am trying to explain why
OH can't get that time off work ...upps he is off for the week before !
I won't be able to just pop over there ..I don't drive and anyway we only have the 1 car
Why I can't just be dropped off in the morning and picked up at night ....I have 2 dogs for crying out loud

and even worse why can't I just book into the hotel for the 3 weeks that she is here .....I can share her room !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will only cost me 600 or so euros.

Oh boy last time me and Mum shared a room (5yrs ago) I thought about pushing her off the balcony after 3 days.
Why do I want to spend money on a holiday 10K away.
Who will look after the dogs

Boy oh Boy ....I do love my mother, I do love my mother, does anybody want to borrow a mother ................

errr Dermot sorry but at the moment there is no gain from a mothers kiss to this child .....not to mention when I was born and mother and child went home Mother dear didn't realise that mother dear had left beloved child in the hospital until Aunt and Uncle wanted to see pmsl ...

I used to moan about my Mum at times too. Wish I could now,she died 22 yrs ago this month.

She sounds a bit thoughtless/selfish about everyone else.
You can pick your friends but not your rellies lol

Marion it's true you pick friends not family and I know I will miss her if *note IF* I out live her lol

She is thoughtless selfish and many more things you can say, I have many times told her in anger that she is going to be a lonely old woman, sadly on this one I am correct ...

Not sure yet how I am going to cope with this visit from her !

I used to take ill every year about 2 weeks before mother descended on her self-invited visit. Joking I said to GP do you think I could be allergic to her?

Many years later I noticed on a visit to Asthma Nurse my allergies listed on sc reen, cats, rabbits, hamsters, paint and MOTHER!!!

I was right after all.

Motown no doubt I will miss my mum
but did yours tell you that your father didn't want you when away at school, did she tell you that you had no home to go home to, Has she ever told you that you was unwanted ?
