| ps to Sarah... i am sure camping on the couch is doing your head in like mine. mum keeps saying 'enjoy it whilst you can'!!!!
pss to Rach... you know I have a turbulent with my mum and the first week was very stressful. however in the last week because i have 'surrendered' a lot, things have been good. I hope that you find the same .....
essentially, mums can come with very strong controlling opinions but they do have a lot of experience to share and they can help.
as hard as it may be, my only advise to you is to give her jobs that you want her to do to assist you in your time i.e. leave three days washing etc - you will feel bad but she will feel great for it because mothers love feeling useful (more so as they get older).
I could be talking cods walop but thought I would throw it out-there anyhow. take care rach - u r a star! |
