every Monday my mum comes over and we usually have a nice time. shes giving me her old sofas tho and wanted to talk about that A LOT. her husnband will be coming over on Thursday and making a big song and dance about it I just cannot get that excited about household items so I snapped. then I get labelled ungrateful. my mother is more unhinged than I am ffs.
No, my mom is very old and frail - she needs a walker to get around.
She is always happy even when she is having to struggle with mobility issues and Alzheimer/Senility -
God bless her, I will surely miss her when her time arrives

I was bouncing off the walls now ive calmed down but my mother even though we get on just reminded me what living wither all the time is like.
everythings a big deal. ok so she nhelps meout and I cant say how brilliant a shower curtain is so im ungrateful its just a ■■■■■■■ shower curtain.raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I went for a walk with my dog to clear my head also caught my mum slagging me off to my sister.
Are you saying that receiving the sofa from her is cool and that everyone should use it without making a show of it? That the reason why you snapped might be because giving someone a sofa is now a grand production?
what willhappen is she will turn up with colin her husband and ill be there with my boyfriend shell deliver the sofas and it goes like this oh you must be sooo pleased you got the new sofas now yes I says don’t they ook nice in here yes yes they do you could put a throw ontop of it couldn’t you maybe well look for one for you.

much as i understand dandy, you sound quite young. please don’t be offended as i don’t mean to cause offense. as a mum myself when my kids eventually fly the nest, if i’m still here (touch wood) i will try and give them nice things for their flat/apartment/ house at whatever stage in life they are at. both my kids have problems emotionally and psychologically and as their mum i try my best to get them excited about things. i want to help them decorate and furnish their new place as i know how exciting it is to finally move out on your own and make somewhere your own personal space. i never had that till now as i always lived in rented accommodation, either already furnished or with some significant other. now i have the place to myself (plus kids) it’s kind of exciting to put my own mark on the place and i’m hoping for the same for my babies and i guess i want to be a part of that excitement. even if they don’t feel it, i will 
but then i’m just a big softy…maybe your mum is the same? x
I suppose it is nice to have parents who give you things and try to make your life exciting. I have no children and so I know nothing about the parenthood. Once I was a co-owner of one house in America but I had to leave that place. Funny thing is that three months before I had to leave the house, I had voices that I needed to prepare for it and so I arranged my things so that I was able to vacate the house in one day, and so I packed my things to my car and left, and the next morning I was in Miami and after that lived over two years in my auto around America, mostly in Miami. I believe that it is good to have children, at least somebody would continue your genes on this earth.
Yeah dude think about the pure effort involved over all the generations that came before that led to you and your living family. Life can be pretty enjoyable it’s not all about reproduction any more, but in the past life used to be a game of survival. Man vs nature. Still is in a lot of places. I think about that sometimes but I have pretty much decided I don’t want to have kids. It’s expensive and I’ll be lucky if I can ever work again. It’s also a daunting amount of work. And there is risk of passing the illness. I can’t really imagine it at this point.
