The way this thread shows up on the list reflects my feelings. My mum's just arrived from the UK. Why? Can't think of anything worse to be honest.

I’m I a bad person but I don’t miss my Mum.

She visited last year and it was great to see her, but having her in my house for 4 weeks reminded me of all the reason why I left home.

She is coming out again next March for 3 weeks and again I am looking forward to seeing her but I know how it will go – first few days will be great then she will start going on about my weight, my drinking and this time I am working so I am sure that that will get a mention too!!

Last time, we where to go out somewhere and I need to check with Hubby that he did want to come, but forget to mention it before he left for work and my Mum asked me in all serious if I was scared of Hubby and was that why I hadn’t asked him!!

Mum’s eh..got to love them!!

Ha she is a reason we left ! in laws coming for 2 months on sunday, we have moved to acreage so we can build a granny falt (a 2 bed self contained timber kit home has laundry kitchen everything) for them when they come and all the other visitors that descend, great to see them but hard to squash everyone in all the time ! May even use as B and B !

Careful with council regulations on this one. Councils are very reluctant to allow 2 kitchens on one title. We are also going to build a house with a granny flat but the granny flat kitchen will be a sink with power points for a microwave, fridge, toaster, kettle and will be called a bar on the plans.

yes we have had to get full permission as in as if you are building whole new house as its over 70m2.....hasd been bit of nightmare but building work starting soon....
sems each council has different regs too..... will be glad when it is up ! good luck with yours

Yep, mine was here for three months earlier this year at the end of my pregnancy and for the first few weeks after my daughter was born (still feels strange writing that!)

I miss my mum and dad, and my grandma

Parents are coming out again in Jan though

I echo your sentiments! I miss my mum, she's here at the moment, almost at the end of her three week stay. First few days are great, and then they start doing your head in! It's fine when we go visit them in UK as we are out and about all the time. When she comes here by herself, kids are at school and you have to ferry them around day in, day out and entertain them 24/7. I will miss her when she goes back tho. Can't live with them, can't live without them.

I miss my mum, as I never really had a close relationship with her, when she came over it was the first time I had seen her in nearly 3 years.

My mum and I are like chalk and cheese, or so I thought. Now I am a mum and older, the time I spent with her was great and I got mothered for the first time since I was about 13. I am not a sentimental person by any means and fiercely independent, but it was great to be looked after and see who I am taking after.

Small things like how I sneeze I went oh my god I am turning into my mum.

My mum is trendier than me and really young at heart and is such a kind person, she has inspired me to never grow old inside.

We got on so well that she is now getting visa to move over permanently.

Ok emotional bit over now

@ Pen.

Carianne, I think we all wish we had mum's like that. For those of us who don't, we find our 'mothering' elsewhere.

Carrianne

I know and part of me feels bad as she hasn't changed I have.

I have missed a fair bit of time with her as i lived away and we fought every time we got together. But my thoughts are with a happier future and a solid relationship with her.
Funny things can actually change for the better.

LOL - thought you would say that
