why do people say "if theres anything i can do just ask" ....then when you do ...they wont !!!!!!!!!!!
most people over the last 8months when weve asked for help ...lift to hospital ..lending us bed ,bedding etc etc ...most people i think everyone up to now have done what we have asked and have helped ...maybe weve been lucky? till now
my daughter-in-law is really down ...i know its a bad time (hell no!!!!? you dont say)
paul had scan yesterday and results next weeek ....so yes we are all waiting again ...for...whats next
helen has already said to me she doesnt think she can handle anything else - i know she will because we do dont we ...but ...i do know she is feeling really bad
apart from the fact that paul is ill and hasnt worked since feb (tho his dad is workin for him ) and here in spain the "income support" is crap!!!! so they are struggling to pay for everthing .....so now on top of health worries helen is also worrying about finances .....well xmas looming and all....
well i had this bright idea ....seeing as my daughter and other son are due to run an half marathon and theyve always said they were doing it for paul ..... my daughter recently posted on fb that she would soon be nattering everyone for sponsers
i emailed her (was a bit hessitant to do so) to suggest they both run for paul and helen .......well what a response i got off them both
my daughter rather sharpish said she could do a "fund raising" but not sponser and she couldnt ask people who didnt know paul and those that did she would feel cheeky ....or words to that effect ...and would paul and helen be offended??? blah blah !!! i just said oh forget it ,it was only an idea ....then my son emailed to say no he wasnt getting sponsered and paul would def not want that ????? why has he asked him ? oh well maybe he has .....it just pissed me right off because when he was in financial trouble with his business at the start of the credit crunch ...who did he come to for help ...yes mum n dad! i wonder now if i should have said no ...you are well go get another job!!!!!
is it me ???
i would like to say that my kids are very loving and think the world of each other i just dont understand this at all .... my daughter would rather raise money for strangers than help out her own brother ? why ...how could she? i am really really upset
on a more positive note after i told my hubby he said one of the bar-owners who knows paul is organising a "charity do" to raise some money for him ......so that cheered me up and i know paul and helen will be thrilled and touched by his kindness ...... now i am wondering what his brother and sister will think about this when they hear others could do what they couldnt ????
sh*t sh*t sh*t ....... thats just how i feel
im sorry ive moaned on ...i did try and go into chat ...i wouldve moaned at whoever was there ...but ...i couldnt get in !!!
