Am having to work from home today and all I can hear is that
incessant voice upstairs nagging away at our son to tidy his room.
It needs to be done but the management style is just so
haranguing that his attitude is obviously resentful. He and I have cleared up
before and it has been far less taxing.
This is holiday week for our son. As she will ‘looking after’
him in the week and he may have friends over or whatever, she will be busier than usual. So, I cooked on Sunday to last
us for the following week.
I come home from work on Wednesday – she has been
out and about with our son and another family, eaten out for lunch on Tuesday and
Wednesday, and yet the kitchen is a mess, the sink is full of breakfast stuff
and then I am asked to do his cooking for the evening and our warming up.
Today (Friday) I am at home as
I had a hospital appointment, I come back and am told to do the lunch. I could say
‘no’ but just this taken-for-granted grates.
And when it comes to tidiness, as ever, clothes are all over
the rooms and credit cards receipts – dating from six months ago – are strewn
all over the dining table being ‘checked’, and they have been spread across for
a week and a half now. What sort of role modelling behaviour is that? Does she
not even notice the double standards?
Before leaving for the hospital I received these long
instructions on where to park. I needed to buy some shoes and received sarcastic
comments on where to buy – which ones were for old people and which ones young. Can she not just look after herself ... that would be a huge step forward.
Please, find someone else and leave us …
