Something’s not right

very upset and disappointed real life sucks can I come back :(

very upset and disappointed real life sucks can I come back :(

Hi everyone I desperately need some advice on dealing with my mother. I cannot believe I have hit 52 and I am still asking for advice on how to deal with her but here I am. She is coming up tomorrow to visit and basically told me that she did not want to hug my daughter or go out for coffee with her because my daughter (suffering depression) does not wash her hair and has some dandruff in it.

She told me basically to deal with it. She said she was embarrassed by my my daughter ... Luckally my daughter has something else on so it shouldnt be an issue but it really hurts that she, my mother, grandmother to my children, can be so shallow, I mean who cares on what my daughter looks like. My mother is no oil painting either but my daughter doesnt judge her.

Plus I had a neighbour tell me I was letting myself go ... whilst looking at my stomach. Wonderful. Real life sucks. I am not impressed by it at all.

@Zoe7 beautiful. The Nutcracker and Swan Lake are both lovely ballets. I also like Giselle. They are my 3. I like the classical ballets the best. I went to them as a child too and really enjoyed them as well. I also love going to see Shakespeare plays my favorites are Romeo and Juliet, Othelo and Macbeth the tragedies not in any order.

What a wonderful way to spend a day.

I love Shakespeare too @Bunniekins Macbeth is my favourite play but I like his sonnets and prose too. One of my most prized books is The Complete Works of Shakespeare - I brought it back from England with me - very heavy to carry everywhere with me though lol

We have Shakespear in The Gardens at The Botanical Gardens every year - it is done by a local theatre company - I haven't been for years but should put it on my to-do list for this year - maybe I will be 'well enough' to go this year!

@Zoe7 That sounds like a great idea. Shakespeare in The Gardens at The Botanical Gardens sounds wonderful. Yes if you can muster all yourself, if you are able you should go, go for greenpea as well 🙂

@Zoe7 I once saw a Japanese version of Macbeth ... quite a modern version (as there has been a couple) and Lady MacBeth was stunning. The way she moved across the screen was like a soceress/vampire taking MacBeth's soul. It was a wonderful movie.

That sounds wonderful @Bunniekins - I can imagine the Japanese version would be beautiful - the scenery itself would be something to see.

@Zoe7 Yes and MacBeth was so good looking. I have a thing for Japanese men. They are so s*xy. Anway .... when she walked she slid across the ground so you could always hear her coming and her face was emotionless as she spoke to McBeth whilst his was full of passion.
