Hi Helen,
Snowys Mum. Thank you regarding the photos.
Why does your daughter seem so angry ? Is there a long history to her irritation? If the family is sharing babysitting duties then what is her problem? It says a lot more about her state of mind regarding babysitting.
Does your son in law know why your daughter is tetchy? At least he thanked you.
Is your daughter envious of her sister? Family dynamics are complex aren’t they. The old saying going “ You can choose your friends but not your family ...”. Some things don’t change.

Hi WhatHappened thank you
I went to bed at 8:00pm and dropped off the woke at 12:50am had a cuppa now back trying to sleep. xx
Many thanks seaspirit44 and WhatHappened for your input., it helps to hear other people's take on it. Yes it may be jealousy as her sister has had a lot of fuss due to graduating and then moving away so I have been paying her lots of attention as she is in a new place. My son-in-law is really nice but his family (the other Grandma and Grandpa) are wealthy and sort of look down on me and I think this is where the attitude comes from.
Never mind at least I am having a rest from driving over wild moors at 6am. Most important thing is they are all well and happy, and I am well, unlike many people on this site who have more serious problems.
Love to all having treatment and tests this week Optimistic you will be fine xxx
Hello all fruit loops,
I've come in late to this, SnowysMum, but could your daughter also be getting a bit of late post natal depression? Just a thought.....
Hope all improves....
Hugs xxx
Moomy
Good luck Optimistic xxx
Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!
Dear @Snowysmum
sorry I hvent been here for a while so forgive me if I miss out something/somebidy,but I noticed yoou are still crushed in the situation with your daughter and babysitting.
I am not great at this ,but I have found that sometimes a period of waiting quietly and not becoming hostile from either side,or inviting it,can make a difference.When my cousins’ son was a baby/samll boy,I never saw them altho I would have loved to.The reasons dont matter but are complex,and might also involve being “looked down on”
but I thought,”I will bide my time.”and after a few years they did start coming round and involving me.
I think it might sound a bit cynical,but when they need you,they will come,and the time comes in all childrens lives when their oarents need an army of help!!
I think that might be the time to swallow your pride and just roll the old sleeves up,and enjoy them again.
xx hooe so anyway.I cant stress enough to try very hard not to say hurtful or awful words which cant be taken back,now,however you may feel like it...and whatever the temptation to....
When and if the time comes that you are invited back into their lives it can only help you....xxx
Play the long game,and ThinkSmart xxx@Snowysmum wont tag!!!grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
oh just read about the other family looking down on you...goodness what narrow lives people lead....how much more valuable is nursing care than any money in the world....Flip!xx
Hi all, well I survived my first week back at work this year! Now to try and enjoy the weekend! Although of course tomorrow......actually later today, as I have just seen the time! I have my Zoladex injection.....
BUT
I was on my iPad earlier ordering some of my meds and I noticed that the last issue for my Zoladex is down as the 20th Dec and next issue 18th Jan!!!!! Oh NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Please please please don't say that horrid nurse from last time hasn't reordered the Zoladex for today! Fingers crossed they have one at the pharmacy and I can still have the jab, otherwise it'll mean another trip to the surgery on Friday!! Hopefully
I have read it wrong and the Zoladex is sitting in their cabinet just waiting for me to arrive!! At least it wouldn't be a total wasted journey as I have GP appointment first!
So on the subject of injections, Jenny , I saw this and thought of you........
Hope you aren't feeling so rough tonight! Looking forward to seeing you soon......but don't want to see this much of you sorry couldn't resist xxxx
Here's a thought for you all, which I hope will bring a much needed smile to EVERYONES face! Ever imagined yourself doing a different job???
Well I was thinking, what if our Lovely Karen toxophilite decided to become a Doctor........
JUST IMAGINE...........
INJECTIONS WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.................
Love you Karen! Xxxxx
Lol!LondonLass!!!
and I hope your injection is there tomorrow.Xx
Well I’m back! Steroids kicked in again....and I was so good today as I didn’t have a nap when I really wanted to! Last T tomorrow and feeling excited about feeling crap for the last time! Feel like I should go for a walk but it’s freezing, dark and the dog is fast asleep!
Right...one more time...head....pillow....dreams of sunshine ️
Sweet Dreams!
