I don't want to be beholden to you

This Christmas my Nanny was supposed to come and stay with my mother and then on 28th they were travelling up to Dundee to stay overnight in a hotel and see big sister.  Now my mother has "the winter vomiting bug", she can't go.  so today she phones me up and goes "Do you and twin want to go and stay in Dundee".  Sorry Dundonians but my automatic answer was no.  She then explains why and when i say I'm working that day and don't think so, she keeps pressing but the nieces and nephew will be there, its only one night, you can go after work etc.

So after I finally tell her no because we have other plans.  (She thinks I don't have a social life, I really don't but its none of her business).  Then while I'm cleaning up the mess from the flooded washing machine, (yes it will be a Merry Christmas), older sister calls and gives me grief about not coming.  Clearly what has happened, is the mother has decided that we can go in her place, set it up with the older sister and only after that asked me.

It drives me mad when they do this.  Hello 36 years old, can make my own choices!
