I'm sorry ladies but I need to vent. I'm very irritated today andd usually I would put on fb that I am but its my mom who is irritating me and she's on fb. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and I don't know how much longer I can allow it to go on. For a long time my moms car was broke down and I had to drive her all over and weekends are the worst. She goes to yard sales everyweekend and buys stuff she can sale and make profit off of and sales it at our swapmeet. Well when ever her car is broken I have to run her around cuz I'm the only one that will. She got it fixed and was driving herself around fine. Then she didn't have money for insurance and now I am stuck drivin her around again. And yesterday she made me drive her around all day from 630am til 3pm. Mind you my husband was stuck at home with the kids. Its hot here and my car ac is broken. The past 2 sundays I've been helping her at the swapmeet. Suppose to be making money. But the last 2 weeks haven't been so good. Today was decided not to sale cuz it claimed it was going to rain but it hasn't. Anyways so instead of being stuck out at the meet I am stuck driving her back and forth to a different swapmeet that her boyfriend sales at and a yard sale. She pays for gas but the gas she puts in she uses. I am getting so frustrated/irritated I can't speak. My husband has been stuck with our kids all weekend alone cuz my mom is being so ??? "Needy"? I don't know how much I can take. She doesn't seem to understand I have my own life and family and I need to spend time with them. But I don't say anything cuz she tries to help us when she can. Like food and "little" gas.
I have thought about moving away from my family but my mom has health problems and I know if I move they going to get worse. I just don't know what more I can handle.
I'm sorry but I had to get my irritation out.

  • Maybe tell her your family needs you you guts are planning family time and look online for cheap insurance for her...
  • Id tell her no. Or maybe lessen the days per week that you drive her around (say ONLY to doc appt.) Or grocery shopping. She can carpool with others to the swap meet. I'm sure she knows what she is doing..and its not okay
  • Suggest a friend or something drive her or limit it to one weekend. Explain to her one that it is unfair to ur husband and that u need time with ur family.
  • Tanks ladies for responding. I will try and tell her that I can't do it so much.
