I Am Bracing Myself....

[Ric.ror]

I now have to go to my 85 year old mother who is in a right old mood. She will throw all my short comings at me, accusing me of goodness knows what, have a face like a slapped Yabbie for a few days and then everything will be back to normal
Guess she just likes a moan
Unlike me ;-))

[craft1948]

Take her some flowers...............

[bookbinder]

Don't forget to take some earplugs, and, once you're there, smile and nod, smile and nod.

[wolf63]

Have fun!

[Everhelpful]

Think yourself lucky she is still here.!!

[excelsior-1]

hope i don't regret asking this

what is a yabbie?

[Ric.ror]

If I smiled and nodded at her she would probably throw something at me
- like flowers;-))

[DTCwordfan]

Isn't there a good pub nearby?

[Ric.ror]

Excel - It began with an A then a R I used a $ sign for an S and ended with an E E

[Arksided]

Just remind her that the wasp doesn't get any tastier the more she chews. ;-)

[Ric.ror]

Everhelpful - thank you - its all in perspective now

[Psybbo]

Did I dictate that to you Ric?

[Anngel]

A yabbie is a crawfish..isn't it? Oh Ric, how sad that your mum does not appreciate how lucky she is. You will get your reward in heaven, or not...if you believe Richard Dawkins. In which case, leave her to rot and go out and have a good time. Miserable old battleaxe. Just remember to be nice to your own children, if you have them. They have the final right of veto....not to come.

[Psybbo]

I agree Ann, it ensures you are loving and caring towards your own children

[Ric.ror]

Right
Well that was nowhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be
Just goes to show

[DTCwordfan]

Phew - seeing Anngel here, anyone see sunny Ann recently?

[lady-janine]

one time when i went to see my mother she moaned that it was too late to go to go for lunch and anyway she had already eaten. i got to her about 1.15 pm having driven about 360 miles. such are the joys of children.

[TWR]

One Mother,make the most of it! she might be a right pain in the@rse with her comments, but does she mean it? is she doing it to see your response? I'm going through this myself & think, If I was her age would I do the same? be thankful she is still here Ric.ror " You only have one Mother.

[Ric.ror]

Lady J gets a best answer for what she went through and TWR can have a runner up prize ;-))
