I might as well confess that I'm with your mother on all of those points!<BR/><BR/>My own mother is 81 and said to me just recently that she now stands up to my father far more than she ever used to. He doesn't get his own way as much these days. I think that a lot of women tend to keep quiet rather than 'rock the boat', particularly through the period when there are young children to consider. Perhaps a lot of us are programmed that way.Mean Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829239249872290230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837862718388354747.post-75522469004396963462009-04-08T22:03:00.000+01:002009-04-08T22:03:00.000+01:00Did you notice all my flippin typo's in my last me...Did you notice all my flippin typo's in my last message?

Men generally start to boss thier wives around and get under their feet and ivade their territory and upsaet their schedule and just take over! I know Himself did with me when he took early retirement at 50. Now he has a contractual job where he works from home but he's in the office and I am on my laptop away from him. You do work out a system in time but it is a big change. Yer mammy will get used to it! Glad you had a good visit home, makes me kinds homesick hearing you talk about it. My accent changed years ago to - too many people saying 'What?' when I spoke so I softened it uo and now it is a strange accent altogether.menopausaloldbag (MOB)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04320287770097378027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837862718388354747.post-39133038303267434542009-04-08T18:59:00.000+01:002009-04-08T18:59:00.000+01:00A Surrey housewife !
