Its crap innit! 

Aimee - my boy stumbled into the door and banged his little finger... and then demanded I put the hot/cold pack in the freezer cos it hurt so bad! 

then there is his nibs with the man flu!

All oblivious to how fecking rude & self indulgent they are being considering I have just been to pick up my daughter from school and she is proper poorly on the sofa with Glandular Fever!

Its like they see the sympathy I have been giving her... and they want in on the action!

As you can probably guess...    it hasn't worked...   no sympathy to the male people!
Dirtyprettygirlthing
Awww Ditty hope your daughter feel's better soon
my daughter turned 16 last week and feel's she's now an adult in it  then get's a cold and she's back to mum i've got the sniffles   guess whose just been and got her the nasal spray and tissues  when will i ever learn  she's been a right bitch to me this weekend as well but we still jump too their needs

Reference:
then get's a cold and she's back to mum i've got the sniffles
I dropped mine off at school on the Thurs... she knew I was shitting it about having to have an MRI on the Friday.. ..    did she ask me how it went?  No!  She totally forgot about me!    I reminded her after we had been texting about her state of health for an hour or two on Friday night! 
 
Reference:
she's been a right bitch to me this weekend as well but we still jump too their needs
Cos we love em innit! 

Mine is going through a nice phase at the moment (probably cos she is ill)..    and here...  harder for us to have a facebook war with each other when she is sitting next to me on the sofa !
Dirtyprettygirlthing
Reference:
the Laura one, (dark hair, Aldo Zilli's daughter) doesn't seem q as bad as the Samantha one, but both seem somewhat up themselves
Yes I have to agree the dark haired girl comes across as a nicer girl...The blonde one is a straight up class A Bitch, with a wierd twisted mouth...Looks as if someone has either punched her(Not hard to imagine) or she had a ccident with an electric toothbrush.

How did you get on
dunno yet!  

Cos...   I got to the end of the ridiculously long waiting list & got my date for my surgery (7th Sept)...   then a few days before the 7th the surgeon rings up and says he's decided he'd rather I have an MRI first... so he knows what he's got to do.

So then I had to wait for the MRI...    which I had on Friday.   That went ok..   as much as lying in a very very very very very small tube for half an hour can go...

so.. waiting for the surgeon to look at my MRI scan and decide when I have the op... and whether or not he is still willing to do it as day surgery.

I know I still have to have it sorted...   but it stopped hurting weeks ago (result!!  guess the trapped nerve escaped )

I tend to try to not think about it at all now...   til I get a scary surgery date letter.

Oh.. & I got some special new knickers for the occaision...   they say "Look Geek" on the bum!

Sorry Ditty it won't let me quote


It's so nice isn't it when they go through their nice phase , i think my problem is what i started a thread about a few weeks ago, i need to let go but this weekend her dad (who has nothing too do with her normally) and his family did a BIG party for her 16th (more than i could afford) and when she came home, she made me feel the worst mother ever cause they did this for her, and i didn't


 my friends and family have said, it's you that look after her day to day and when she's i'll not just for her birthday, which is true but it still upset me, she seem's too now have thought about how she spoke to me but it still hit's a nerve

aw... that really really is shitty (of him more than her!)  

I don't have all that with my daughter...  she has no contact with hers.   But I get that all the time from the boy!

hahaha...  THAT ^^^  is my daughter to a tee!    I can tell when she finally feels bad...  but teenage pride stops her actually coming right out and saying all the right thing.... instead she tries to force things back into normality!
