Bec - LOL, re being unhappy with who you are when your mum is around. Not because it's funny but because sometimes I think I am like that when DH is around... and I can't wait for him to go to work, and it's just HB and me.

We were all talking a while ago how when people say they are going to babysit and then don't how annoying it is. I don't have that experience yet, but a similar one. DH normally gets home from work about 7pm, but it can any time from 5.30pm to 8pm depending. When I had a cold, he told me he'd be home early. I point blank told him I didn't believe him and it would be better if he didn't make promises he couldn't keep... his work is so unpredictable and he's one of those who says "Ill just finish this before I go home.....". I explained that if I know I have to do it by myself, then that's fine and I will do it calmly ( when I was sick he wasn't getting home til midnight, which explains the "early' comment). It's funny though, if I assume he's coming home early, and then doesn't, it just makes me an unpleasant, even resentful person. But if he's not home til midnight, and I know he's going to be late, it's all good.

But well done, it's hard telling parents to back off.... I don't think she means to make you feel that way, she probably just doesn't even realise. But then some people just play the passive aggressive game too.

This is a me post! Ha. I am feeling much less glum today and there have been no episodes of crying ( by me or Hannah). Still tired as all get out, but at least there is no crying. It is such a relief. Anyway, I should go and nap.
