kitbag Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I have just had a really bad argument with my dad. It was about the golf of all things. We argue quite a lot, but it's never that bad. What happened was that he wanted to watch the golf, and it went on for an hour longer than we thought. Me and my sister have just got mario kart for our wii. We wanted to have a go on it, so I told my dad this and he just said that he was going to watch top gear and that he didnt care about what i wanted to do. I then tried to get the remote off him, and tried to explain that it wasn't fair, and he spilt his red wine over the sofa that my mum has been re-upholstering, and it was her mum's. She is now sat downstairs crying, and my dad is on the phone to his nan, who we have just found out has osteo-perosis (sp?) Iknow that this all sounds really petty, but i just had to get it off my chest. I feel so bad, and am so upset about my nanny - she is 96 and still lives on her own. This will just make her so lonely, she has no relatives near to where she lives. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 oh no ... sorry to hear that. Sounds like everyone is upset about your nanny, and your dad probably feels bad too about spilling the wine (which wasn't really your fault from the sound of things). I'm sure it will all calm down in a bit ... maybe your mum would appreciate a hug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGirlsMum Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Seriously you need to put white wine ono a red wine stainto help get it out and your Mum can have a glass too. Hope tempers calm down, just say sorry, they are all obviously worried. Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Sorry you had an argument with your Dad Kitbag. I'm sure that it will blow over. The wine spilling was an accident and your Mum will realise that. Sending hugs. Also you Great Nan sounds like an incredible woman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Give your dad a hug too x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Poor Kitbag you feel horrid at the moment but your mum and dad will have been feeling stressed about your dad's nan and at least you have let them release some emotions. Chin up girl your mum will forgive you. Hugs x Osteoporosis is brittle bones and her Dr will give her calcium and vitamin D to prevent her bones getting soft. She's probably best not jumping out of any aeroplanes for a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Don't worry yourself too much Megan, we all deal with stress in different ways. Your family know you didn't mean anything by it and it was an accident (wine) And all families are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Aaaw Megan Sending you lots of big hugs xxxx All you can do is apologise for your part in the wine spilling - and it was only a part, please don't blame yourself, accidents happen. Sorry to hear about your Great Nan, she is obviously a well loved member of the family and no wonder you are all feeling quite emotional at the moment. xxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Poor you, it sounds like things have conspired against you tonight I will look at this from a parent's point of view. Why don't you go and make your mum and dad a cup of tea or glass of wine or whatever they like, give them a hug and say sorry. Then tell them how you are feeling about your nan. They may be thinking that you are being thoughtless as wont realise how you feel unless you tell them. Thankfully as a parent, I can tell you that arguing wont ever stop them loving you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitbag Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 Thanks for your replies guys! I have made my mum a strong cup of tea and given her a hug, and she is playing the piano - it helps her to calm down if she is upset or angry. Dad is still watching top gear! I will talk to my mum and dad about nanny tomorrow when things have calmed down a bit. What would i do without you guys!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Well done I am sure you would have got there in the end yourself but it is great to have a sounding board that can look at things from a neutral position. Hope thing settle for you after your chat, it should make it easier for you all to support each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitbag Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 I thought i would h=give you all an update. I talked to my parents about my nanny last night, and we are going to see her in the next couple of weeks. It will be good to see her again - i haven't seen her for about a year! We got the stain out of the sofa as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WitchHazel Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hi Kitbag WHy not see if you can get an old TV (for free) on Freecycle? Lots of them are being given away at the moment as people are upgrading to digital and/or Hi Def. I'm not sure whereabouts in Berkshire you are (I'm in Old WIndsor) but there are several Freecycle groups in Berkshire. That way you could have a dedicated TV for the Wii.

Rona Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I just read through this and was thinking much the same. Give Mum and Dad lots of hugs and look on freecycle for another TV. Doing something positive will also make you feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
