My youngest daughter and her youngest daughter had to move in with us last month. My daughter will be 49 next month. She and I get along well and think along the same lines- however it seems dear ole ma is getting to her. She does not like our life style. According to her we are wasting away- we do nothing- do not go out enough. .blah blah ... It occured to me this morning that I can have some fun with this . Why in the world do grown kids think they know best for us now ? Remember how we all tried to get the kids behave the way We thought they should- well I am turning the tables at my house- now it is my turn to say No, stamp my foot- slam a door or sneak out in middle of the night ! I have made some posts on FB this morning that will trigger my happy plan to drive her nuts this go around. : )...I am so loving this
ooooh Good for you..go for it Gloria.. Honestly..my daughter is the same, she decides how I should be talking, walking, and living my life... I asked her ''When did you turn into the mother' ?
@Gloria Mitchell Alas, not having had a child, your experience shall forever elude me! I must find fun in other ways.....Frank
Bless her heart. Got a text this morning while at the store...' I am sorry , I dont know what I did to make you mad.' Lolo ..I assured her I am not mad. Mother will explain it when you get home tonight..
My children know they can't influence the ol' man when he's around, so they don't even try, but I am sure they are amused by what I say and do sometimes.
We had one grown cson and his wife and child for dinner tonight. I told them of my response to this thread. Their response: ""That is so right!"
Lol... I tried to explain...she was not impressed...too bad. Btw....when you have anyone living in your home do not make them extra comfy. My husband - altho. he not like our home being invaded - again-- will make the coment .... 'that will make them more comfortable ' Nooooo mama don' t want you comfortable....comfortable could lead to longer stay. The dog is yours. You take it out I know the room is hot....turning up ac will cost you Nope we don' t eat that..put on your grocery list Dinner...you want dinner...so would I ..what will you make? anyway you all get the picture. Not their fault they must be here- I just want to ensure not my fault they their here tooo long
I admire that you let them move in at all. I was that kind of mom for about 10 years and then just got sick of it. There is now a tent in the garage. Next time they choose to party instead of paying rent, they can put it up in the backyard and I'll throw them some hot dogs. LOL.
@Bess Barber ....Oh that situation is the oldest daughter...no way Jose for her. My youngest daughter found herself in bad situation hours away from help or us, so that's why she's here. She is hard worker and trust me she wants out - soon.
