My kids will take over my affairs. I don't want it to happen but it will.
Already they annoy me. Recently I paid £400 to have a short fence erected. Their attitude was 'save your £400 you don't need a fence' Do I need them to tell me what to do with my money? Do they think I'm docile already?
Most annoying coming from one who thinks nothing of spending £15,000 on a new kitchen and God knows how much on a brand new range rover!!
Old age -It's not much to look forward to. I don't want to be a burden on anybody or treated like a child.
To be honest - I try not to think about it!!
Carol, I have to say........I identify with you here.....did you ever say it like I feel it.
My son has been getting on my nerves also for the last couple of years, I don't like his way of thinking. He is like his father in all ways......and I sure couldn't stand his father either and that is why I left him and raised my son on my own, never once realizing that he could turn out "just like his dad"
He bosses me around and trys to tell me I don't need this and that, save my money, etc etc......no way, I am going to change now. If I want something, I buy it, to h*** with the price tag on it......I love nice things and I don't think anything wrong in using my own money to give me pleasure.....
Funny how kids grow up, and start to think they are smarter than US. I cannot wrap my brain around that, I am an independant woman and I am going to stay this way until I "lose my mind with dementia"......then I hope I just die as I don't want anyone telling me what to do.....
Thanks Carol, I enjoyed your post.....
