Advice Please ???

People are here to live their own lives, and if on the way you can give some one a leg up all well and good, but when that some one expects you to do things just to sort out their problems, its time to tell them to sod of.
 
If that's all true then if I were you I'd be even more determined to move. You have to live your own life and not someone else's.
Yep it is all true she's a bit ahem.....strange......always living what other people do......Emm do what you want to do ..don't even for a second think about her!...You've go what she wants and unfortunatley....she aint gonna get it :D xxx
 
had an accywebber at my house yesterday when this woman dawn and em are on about came round and he said 'she's too happy for my liking, whats she on?' lol
 
Its her problem to get her child to school. If you went on holiday 1 week before the holidays would her child her not go to school for that week? You cant be held responsible for her child getting to school she is. She is also responsible for picking her child up. Also it sounds like your children are older than her child - your children are already at that school - so what happens if you dont move and you stay were you are does she expect you to take and pick up her child even after theyve left that school? I would tell her to find her own way to and from school that she cant depend on you being there.

my eldest is in his last yr then my middle one is a yr 1 and my youngest one starts in sep the same has her son, and her eldest is alredy at high school. My hubby said to me it was a bit much of a commitmant b4 we decided to move, like above said, if mine were off with illness or we were on holiday how would she cope then ?? and i said this too here last year she just said "we'll coss that when it happens ?? you see she hasnt drove a car for over 10yrs !! so she will just have to book a refresher course, and get behind the wheel, even though she says to me she hates drinving. when i told all this last week to another freind of mine ( who has never even met her !!) she said the same as everyone on here she just cnt expect me to commit to this and any one normal would surley understand ?? I could do with speaking to her hubby on his own without her being there to se what his veiws are ???
sorry for going on and on, but it has realy got to me :confused:
 
Can't help but think that this 'kids' thing is but her lame excuse for wanting to be 'close' to you- kinda possesive.The schooling issue may well be nothing but a smokescreen for her more emotional feelings. Get her out of your life.
 
If you didn't want to move your klds and upset their schooling, didn't want then to lose class mates friends, then it could be quite convenient. By what you've said though, thats not an issue, so I'd just start them in a new school. Tell her you've become an environmentalist and couldn't possibly allow them to be driven to school over that distance. Then use the same excuse so you don't have to go n see her.
 
from what i know they are staying at the same school, it would be just too much for em to have to pick the other child up too

No I will be keeping my youngest two there even if i move to Lower darwen, as the distance either way is about the same with the moto way being accesable :)
 
Since several of us regard this woman's behaviour as strange and abnormal, I have delved into webpages to see if there is a 'mental illness' name for it.
It seems to be described as attachment behaviour-

Affectional bonds are formed as a result of interactions with the attachment figure, that is to say, between child and parent. Emotional life is seen as dependent on the formation, maintenance, disruption or renewal of attachment relationships. Consequently, the psychology and psychopathology of emotion is deemed to be largely the psychology and psychopathology of affectional bonds.

Psychopathology is regarded as due to a person having suffered or still be suffering the consequences of disturbed patterns of attachment, leading the person to have followed a deviant pathway of development. Infancy, childhood and adolescence are seen as sensitive periods during which attachment behaviour develops -normally or deviously- according to the experience the individual has with his attachment figures.

Finally, loss or threat of loss of the attachment figure is seen as the principal pathogenic agent in the development of psychopathology.



It sounds very dodgy to me, and I would be most uncomfortable with the type of 'friendship' she claims to have with you, be careful how you end it, but end it you must.
