Mobile Phones

Just had to ring up and find out when my daughter can upgrade her mobile phone and this has made me wonder if she would be able to get it in her name yet or not as at this time her phone is in my name because when she got it they wouldn’t let her get it in her name. I have three daughters but only one of them has her mobile in her own name, that would be Kathy-Lee, Jessica’s phone is also in Kathy’s name not sure why as I wasn’t here when she got her phone Jes decided to get an IPhone when Tim and I went on our cruise and Natasha’s phone is in my name. Now Natasha has been having a lot of problems with her phone for the last few months and wants to upgrade so I rang to find out when she can do it and not till next month is the answer.

My girls have all had mobiles since they were in their teens but I would not allow them to get anything other than pre-paid phones till they turned 21yrs as I felt they would only run up high bills and expect me and their dad to pay them. We often see on different current affairs shows stories about how teenagers have run up high mobile phone bills and the parents go to the media hoping to get the bill squashed which really piss me off. I think how these parents could be so stupid to give a child a phone that they are able to run up high bills on.

Now that my girls are in their 20’s I feel they should be having as many things in their own name as possible and not being reliant on their parents, so when she goes to upgrade her phone I will be seeing if she can get it in her own name, if not then yes I will let her continue to have it in my name but I would prefer to have it in her name she is after all 24yrs old now.

Unforgiving

Do you have a family member who as a child was a right bitch or bastard and because of that they have a problem getting along with certain family members because family members find it hard to forget, forgive and move on………………

In my family my mother has a long memory and she cannot seem to get over how my niece Heather treated her mother when she was a child. Yes Heather was a terrible child and yes she did hit her mother and siblings and she knows she was not the best child but she cannot go back change anything, all she can do is strive to be a better person as she gets older.

Heather is now the mother of three beautiful children and she has for the most part a pretty good relationship with her mother, yes they fight and yes there are times I think she doesn’t treat her mum right but hey my girls leave a lot to be desired when it come to the way they treat me at times.

I think the big problem is that my mum never really got to see Sue’s children while they were growing up so she has never had that close bond with them. When Sue’s kids where little they lived an hour away and only came down to see the family a couple a times a year and even then they were distant most likely because they rarely saw us and maybe they didn’t feel that closeness that the rest of us feel.

I would love to see all of Sue’s kids attend more family functions and I would love for my parents to see that they have grown into good hearted loving and kind adults.

If any of them read this then I hope they know that Aunty Jo loves them and is proud of the adults they have grown into…………

Chicken, Smash & Complaints..........

Today I cooked lunch for my family I sent all the girls a text message last night to let them know that I would be doing lunch, out of my 3 daughters 2 where here for lunch Natasha didn't come because she was too tired although she didn't bother to tell me she was not coming she just didn't turn up yes I was annoyed but no I was not surprised . Above is Natasha....

What was for lunch you asked, you didn't ask well I am going to tell you anyway we had chicken legs which I cooked in the slow cooker with 2 tins of tomatos and a tomato and onion cassrole base. I was worried about how they would turn out as I have done them like that before and thankfully everyone liked them, with them we had mash and vegies and yes I know mash is a vegie but that is not the point..........


While I was doing the vegies Kathy turned up, she walks in the door and says we have to call the police dad has been in an accident but he is ok. She then tells me that a car pulled out of a side street and hit Tim's van this happened just down the road and even though she told me he was ok I had to see for myself. So I take Jessica's car and drive down the road and yes he is fine he asked to borrow my glasses so he could write the womans details down and for someone to bring him back his camera. Kathy rang the police and the rang him and told him because no one was hurt and alchole was not involved then they didn't need to attend, she also walked back with his camera for him so I am able to show you all photos.........

He had gone over to her house for some reason I do not know why what I do know is that when she turned up here at 10am the moment she walked in the door she started complaining about my house and ended up saying she could not stay in this dump/house any longer and went home. She came back in time for lunch and left not long after she had eaten.

Blogging

What do you do while reading and commenting on blogs?

I write blog postings and save them in my unposted blog file I always have a few blog postings in it ready for days when I have a blog block or just feeling to lazy to write anything...........

Not that I often get a blog block I rarely have trouble thinking about what to write, I guess that is because I have such a large close knit family who I love to write about or bitch about.

I love them heaps but at times they drive me around the bend and up the wall, would I swap them never they are all mine no matter how annoying they are at times................
