Have to tell you this . . . - What a cheek


Josie83 wrote: Some of you may know that my mother is not the most understanding woman about the fact that I had a baby when I was eighteen and unmarried . . . anyway, I took Cassie to see her today (bad idea!) and I was sat talking to her, and then Cassie came over to me and sat on my knee. wub.gif I must have had my legs slightly apart (lovely image coming into everyone's head I'm sure!) and Cassie said "Close your legs, mummy," rolleyes.gif so I did so that she could sit more comfortably, and my mum said "Shame you couldn't have done that three years ago, Josefina." ohmy.gif mad.gif ohmy.gif Of all the horrible things to say, when her gorgeous little granddaughter was just sitting there . . . I could have slapped her! Obviously we left soon after. And let me tell you, daddy was not impressed with this comment when we told him later! mad.gif Poor Cassie, its a good thing she doesn't understand . . . xx

kit_kats_mom replied: Holy crap! That is harsh. I'm sorry that your mom said that. My feelings would be totally crushed! bawling.gif

MomToMany replied: mad.gif Wow! What a lovely grandmother Cassie has (in a VERY sarcastic voice).

My mom wasn't too thrilled with me having a baby at 16, but she's never said something like that!

amynicole21 replied: That's a load of CR@P! That woman deserves to be slapped mad.gif

coasterqueen replied: WOW! ohmy.gif That would have been the last time I let my mother talk to me that way. mad.gif mad.gif

Kaitlin'smom replied: well I am certanly glad cassis does not yet understand this, what a horrible thing to say to you in front of her, well at all. Bite your tounge woman....sorry your mum can be so rude mad.gif

Boys r us replied: You need to stand up for yourself!!! 18 may not have been her "ideal" time for YOu to have a baby, but at 18 you are a full grown woman and can make your own decisions!
and for her to say something like that NOW is horrible..even mroe so than had she said it say, when you were pregnant..b/c she can see what a BEAUTIFUL suprise little Cassie has been!

Lollie replied: Geez!!!How mean can you get!!! mad.gif


I know my parents werent exactly over the moon about my first pregnancy either but if my mum had said something like that to me I would have told her to BITE ME!!!!Mohter or not...she has no right to speak to you like that!!!

My2Beauties replied: OMG I would have gave her the middle finger and left! sad.gif I guess that is just the redneck in me rolleyes.gif Seriously that was very rude and you should have a talk with your mother about the things she says in front of Cassie!!!!

ediep replied: oh, I sure am glad that Cassie didn't understand that!! That was very mean!!!!

momof2girls replied: That is just mean!!!
Im too glad Cassie does not understand but there will come a day that she does.

How does she treat Cassie??? Unless she is just wonderful with her I would not go to visit and I would tell your mom why!!!
There is no reason to be that mean, I could NEVER say that to my daughter, even If I were not happy.

Josie83 replied:
She is not nice to Cassie at all mad.gif . . . I hadn't taken Cassie to see her for ages but Jason said I should (his family are really close) so I did and then she started with that sort of chat. I don't think I'm going to bother with her for a very long time! Its a good thing Jason's mum and dad adore her! wub.gif I felt so bad for her when my mum said that, but what can you do? Thanks very much for your support everyone! smile.gif xx

Littlejojames replied: God that is so horrible.

Good job that your daughter is too young to understand.

Dont know how you contained yourself.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I agree with what everyone else has said. That is just terrible. mad.gif From the way she puts it you would think Jason was a horrible father and fiance....and HE'S NOT. It sounds like she is just jealous that he has done more for you than she has. AND I totally agree with Nichole...you were 18 AND you are a wonderful mother to Cassie. I'm glad Jason't parents are nice. wink.gif

Zoe'sMommaCamie replied: ohmy.gif ohmy.gif mad.gif

Josie, that woman has got a ot of nerve to tsay that to her own daughter and INFRONT of her grand-daughter for heavan's sake!! geez!!



what a meanie! dry.gif

Josie83 replied:
Thanks Aimee . . . in fact thanks everyone for making me feel better! My mum can just do without Cassie if she's going to say such horrible things! I don't think she really deserves to be part of her life. I dont care her saying things about me, I'm used to it, but starting on a two year old is harsh I think. xx

megsmommie replied: She was not so nice! mad.gif i had my first child at 17, and though my parents were none too happy, they never made any snotty comments like that. Josie, I am sorry that you had to put up with that.

momof2girls replied:
Josie
if she is not too nice to Cassie I would not let Cassie visit her, and I think you should either tell your mom or write her a letter telling her why, that is really sad and she sounds so mean!!
by the way what does "what a cheek" mean?
Im guess its like what a a$$ like what a butthead???

lsjulee replied: My gosh!! ohmy.gif She was so mean. Can't she just get on with it? I mean Cassie is a dear and I bet you don't regret having her. Your mother should be happy and support you with your decision. OMG!! ohmy.gif mad.gif

ctymom replied: oh wow! Some people really need a delay button so they can hear what they are getting ready to say so they can retract all the stupid comments. Wouldnt that make for a better world?

MommyToAshley replied: OMG! I can't believe she would say that in front of her granddaugher. I think you have made the right decision in not taking Cassie to see her, especially since she is not nice to her. I don't see how anyone could be mean to that cutie pie!!! I am glad that Jason's parents are nice to her though.

A&A'smommy replied: ((((BIG HUGS)))) I'm sorry your mom said that I can't amagine saying something like that after knowing and seeing how beautiful Cassie is! That was really mean of her I probably would have been bawling.... You put up with a LOT more than I would have!

Josie83 replied:
It means like how dare they or how rude I suppose! Sorry my dodgy way of talking tends to confuse people! emlaugh.gif I haven't seen my mum since she said it and to be honest am not missing her at all. We went to se Jason's parents again and it made up for it totally, Cassie's so at home there and they love each other loads. Thanks again for all your support! xx

momof2girls replied:
I get confused easily! I think its neat the way you "talk"
I like to hear or see the way people use different pharases and words.
Im glad at least Jason's parents are nice to be around!!!!
