I am beginning to feel just like I did before we moved to Blackpool. One of the reasons we wanted to move away was so the kids couldn't keep "using" us the way they were. Phoning me in the middle of the night to go and pick them up from a club or a party. Borrowing money, which they never paid back. All sorts of stuff like that. Yes, I KNOW that I am supposed to "BE THERE" for my kids, but they are also supposed to be responsible adults! My daughter has three kids of her own, and has another due in August. My son is 27. The reason I feel like this? I got a phone call about an hour ago. My daughter has arranged to take her kids to Alton Towers (a theme park) on tuesday. It is about 120 miles away. She phoned my sister to ask if I could borrow the car to take them there, wait all day for them, then bring them back. My sister agreed. My daughter THEN phones me and tells me she has organised it, would I please drive then there and back? Knowing that the towers is out in the middle of nowhere, so I wouldn't have anywhere near to wait for them. Didn't really ask me if I would, just sort of told me that she had made all the arrangements, they just needed a driver. What am I supposed to do all day. I will be dropping them off at 9.30am and not picking them up until 5.30PM. I dont know about you, but I think that is taking me for granted.
