My mum is great company, we get on well but she is so inflexible that it hurts.
Today I popped over (as my day off of work) to return some books. My daughter is 6 next Sunday and I invited them (mum and dad) so a local restaurant for Sunday lunch. It’s a family place where they’ll cut and serve her cake and put a sparkler in it…she’ll love it.
But, as usual, she said no and handed me her gift. ‘No thank you, we’re not too keen on that restaurant’ she said.
This hurts me so much; they’re lovely family people my folks who are both retired – their time is their own so the can go to any restaurant they like, so why can’t they compromise?
We’re going out to a restaurant for my dad’s birthday next month which isn’t my favourite restaurant but, to me, that isn’t an issue. It’s the people that I’m with that counts
Golly, I need some words of wisdom please. I need to understand their perspective.
