@Victoria I'm debating on that, honestly. I can't believe she would judge me like that without ever offering to help. She should just say that shit to my face and not be a bitch behind my back, but that's how my mother is 🙃
My mother is the same way. I tried recycling there for awhile and my oldest (only child at the time) would take the empty milk jugs and bang them together like cymbals or get a flattened out cereal box and point at the different things (like horse, cat, person) my mom went and told church members that I let my child play in the trash and throw it around all over the place.
@ᏗᏒᎥᏋᏝ🧜♀️ I'm sorry, what??? Kids looovvee to play with boxes and stuff like that, it's great sensory play that's free! My boys play with boxes all the time! I would've been piisseeddd.
The only houses that stay clean either have a village or no kids! I cook 3-4 times a day my kitchen stays clean for maybe 20 mins when your kids are of age to have friends over you will have more time to tend to house chores if she doesnt like it then she can help 🤷🏻♀️
@Leah that's what I'm saying! Our place was decently clean before kids, the only "messes" we have or never ending clothes and toys on our floors. I'm very active with my kids and don't feel like spending my day cleaning 🤷♀️ my mother wasn't active with us as kids. We were either at school, our grandparents, summer camp, or left alone to figure things out. It's a lot easier to clean when you pretend like your children don't exist.
Ugh, I'm sorry you're going through that. No mother deserves to be made to feel bad about a mess when her kids are her number one priority. We don't have a village either and our house is a living mess, but it is living and it's alive. Hope you know you are not alone in feeling like this. You are lucky to have a supportive brother. He's your village. Your kids are lucky to have you as their mother.
She wouldn't be allowed over anymore
