Well done toxophilite go you xxx

So pleased you are reconciled Snowys Mum. She was obviously very stressed. Xxx

-that must be the post of the week so far for me!!Snowys Mum

Am soooooo happy you have reconciled!!!

if you ever need advice on people being unthinking...just ask my older sister...

it would take a very long time to explain all,but ,even tho I had been told by several people,that I was “the perfect Auntie”;the people I was being Aunterly to,were fighting me off!!

Goodness knows why,but it was deeply hutful.

In order to “obey” their criteria,I had to go up there to see them(long walk..carrying heavy “things to do”etc),and I couldnt understand why they no longer wanted to come here,where the children loved playing in the garden,making massive dolls houses(out of ironing board),eating nice chicken dinner,etc etc.

So I swallowed my pride and did as they requested.What hurt more was that they were the only people I had as had left work,etc .

on the coldest night of the year I had tried to close my upper window and slipped,so asked if one of the men could come and close it for me(I had slipped off a stool 6” of the ground...which I subsequently mended).

the reply was “well they might slip off the stool”.End of conversation.

the above is an illustration of the apprecaition I was getting.

I went through the year being extremely hurt and perplexed as I couldnt understand their behaviour,but I rang my okder sister,and my voice was all wobberly as I told her all,and how it was came under the under the heading of Just CRUEL.

After a year of it she said to be with “nice people” and so since them I have made out a prespription to myself to 1)see her “4 times a year2)go places where I can meet nice people.She also said to Not Go.(Easier said than done...Long Story)

it Has Payed off,

Since I dont chase them,they have been known to ring me up to ask me to go,and they beg me to stay to tea.

It wasnt a “mind game”...I just didnt know what to do!!...

People have No Idea ,or have never ever been taught to “put themselves in someone elses shoes”.

owww Violetsniff, I can so relate to your post, not so much for myself, but for my dear mum.  

Mum and Dad were inseparable, went everywhere together and always had the family around during the weekend.  Well, since dads passing everything has changed.  My dear mum hardly sees family, she has 10 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.  They never call in on the 'off chance' and Sundays none do as the tv advert, set an extra place with an extra chair for Sunday dinner and if they do, its only for themselves.  

I so wished people could actually 'put themselves in someone else shoes' even if they 'only think of what that person is doing'.

i am sorry you had to hear such cruel words 'they might slip off the stool' - terrible, I'd be saying, well I can hold the stool if someone is here to help or they can hold the stool for me!!!! Trouble is, this shouldn't have to be said.  I best stop now.

Sending love and hugs to all xxxx
