Feeling Put Upon

[maggiebee]

Son phoned at 4.30 pm and asked if I'd like to "pop over" for a quick cuppa.
Got my cuppa then was asked if I could hang around with the kids til he went to pick up my daughter-in-law at 5 pm. They arrived home at 6.30 pm having been to B & Q etc shopping. Methinks this was the plan from the beginning?

[Dizmo]

You've been duped!

[Psybbo]

Aw, quality time with Granny!

[EcclesCake]

Is this a one off or a pattern?

[BlackadderV]

Sounds like a plan to me☺

[Mamyalynne]

Oh I just see those types of things as being Mum/Gran - as Psybbo says I get to have fun.

I love my grandkids to pieces and get up at 7 am every morning to give them their breakfast and take them to school. But...........after a double shift at Samaritans all I wanted was to put my feet up. Hey ho, nice to be wanted though??

[Mamyalynne]

A little different if you have a busy life,they should be a bit more thoughtful especially as you already do so much for them.

Never mind maggie, I'm sure Santa will be good to you.

[maggiebee]

He'll better be Tony! Putting feet up now.

[tonyav]

Good gal, your allowed a drink of your choice now the sun is over the yard arm ;-)

I'd give anything to see mine right now.... Haven't seen them for 9 weeks :o(

Chill maggie, put your feet up and have a nice glass of vino xx

Did you say anything to your son? I would have in your situation. If you let people get away with taking advantage then they will just continue.
