A quiet mid-week day and I don’t need to see my welfare advisor this week or in fact until the 30th March but they phoned me up for the second time in days to tell me that a PPI job interview they have booked me in for has been postponed yet again and that it will now take place at their offices on the same day as my welfare hearing.
My mum had another strange conversation with me over our evening meal together. She had moved a dining chair into the lounge when my sister had recently visited and she needs it moving back to the dining room.
No problem, I thought and told her I would move it after we ate, but she insisted that I needn’t bother as my nephew would be visiting soon and she’d get him to do it. I moved the chair myself in seconds as soon as we finished eating.

Was she just trying to be nice to say that your nephew could do it?

@arthurchappell ....Perhaps she thought you would. She obviously isn't thinking clearly.

the opposite to nice in that she was making out she would have to get him to do it because I wouldn't even though I had no issues with doing it in the first place - just the latest in a string of such utterly unprovoked outbursts

she never just plainly asks me to do anything, just insinuates that I never do or does things by herself and then makes out to everyone that I never assisted though leaving me no clues that she wanted things doing anyway

@arthurchappell I'm so sorry Arthur, it must make living with her difficult.

Maybe Mon thought Son was getting too old to push furniture around??? Thought her grandson wouldn't huff and puff doing it??

@Ronrybs pretty much the whole conversation - my 75 year old mum seems to like getting other people to do jobs round me and then insinuating that I never help her. She'll go out and drag bins round herself in front of neighbors, etc. Trying to get me not to move a chair for three days just so she could ask my nephew to do it for her just seems stupid

not sure there really is solid rational for the odd conversation over the chair
