Ffs!!! Just told my mum that I'm staying with James next Thursday and Friday and staying most of the week in a couple of weeks time. Said I'm likely to be at his from Sunday night and be back the Thursday teatime (my birthday).
She actually turned round and told me no and that my dad wouldn't be happy as I know he likes spending our birthdays with us!!!
Excuse me??? Who does she think she is telling me I can't be out the house on my birthday??? There are years I never saw my dad as he worked away. There are years I never saw him as he got home from work after I'd gone out or I was only here an hour or so as I didn't live here, or I'd gone away. I will be 36 years old, she doesn't get to tell me what I can and can't do anymore. They don't get to treat me differently from my brother and sister. She would never dream of telling my brother and sister that they have to spend part of their birthdays here and she isn't doing it to me! Especially as I'd already said I'll be back late afternoon!!!

How did you respond to her? I'd be hopping mad!
-
I was fuming!
Told her no. She doesn't tell the other 2 that they have to spend their birthday here, to which she replied she can't really do that with them. Told her she doesn't get to do that with me either. That I'm nearly 36 years old and if I want to be out on my birthday I will be. That I'd already said I'll be here on the night and she doesn't get to pull the guilt trip bull(swear)(swear)(swear)(swear) with me.

*stands applauds, cheers and stamps feet* Go Jaq, Go Jaq, Go Jaq!
Are you learning to stand up for yourself? I'm so proud!
-
Slowly. It just made me so angry that she thinks I'll accept her dictating to me

You, my love get a chufty badge too! :)

Am so glad that you stood up for yourself sweetie you definately deserve a chufty badge x

My dad is such an obnoxious arsehole when he's had a drink. Fed up of him going on about needing to get money sorted as he's starting to run out. £20 of the shopping bill every single week is beer. We have 2 freezers full of food but he constantly complains there is nothing in and buys more. My mum has a huge choice of food in and he always says to get her more or she asks for something different yet he moans we need to cut the shopping bill down. He's lent my sister several hundred pounds. He has spent over a hundred pounds on Scarlett for both birthdays and christmases. He cooks too much and complains about wastage.
I hate living here.
