Everything about my mum!

This is for you Mam, I hope one day you might read it. My Mam is class. Top notch, she is the best Mam anyone could ask for. She taught me to write and read before I went to school she is clever, funny kind and brilliant. Despite being skint and having nothing, she never sees me without - one day I am going to repay her and give her the type of life she deserves. She loves animals, she used to collect pigs now it's penguins and she has two dogs. She is so adaptable and accepting, understanding and the perfect person to tell a secret to or find comfort in when I am upset. You know what? She is my hero. I hope one day I am as great a mother as her. ...  Read the complete review

A year having passed since my mother's final, fatal stroke, this seems as good an occasion as any to post these reminiscences here. Although - let me warn you at the outset - long, they don't add up to "everything about my mum" or anything like it. Does anyone know everything about their mother? Would anyone want to know everything about their mother? I doubt it. Nevertheless, I probably know more about my mother than most people know about theirs. More, in some ways, than it is comfortable to know. This knowledge has been handed down to me in two autobiographical manuscripts, in diaries, in bundles of letters and odd scraps of paper.

I never thought that I would write a review about my mum on Dooyoo. But I randomly came across this topic and it got me thinking and I decided that as I am very soon about to become a mother myself it's probably a good as time as ever to write about my own mother.... My mum is called Helen and she is 44. She is still a very young mummy and a young grandmother to be! My mum is the oldest of five children (she has 3 sisters and a younger brother) so is used to being the "wise" responsible one of the family, especially as my grandmother had my mum at 17. My mum's youngest sibling is her brother who is only 29 so growing up she looked after ...  Read the complete review

Well, what can I say about my mum . Growing up with her was challenging - both my parents were army parents, although my mum was pushed out of the army when she was pregnant with me (it was the done thing in those days) and were used to a life of structure, order, and discipline . Of course, a baby utterly screw that up, and I think that was something challenging for my mum . She was excessively strict, at least I thought so at the time, and I resented her a hell of a lot for that . Examples of this include room tidyness - when our rooms weren't tidy (my brother is younger than me by 3 years) she would give us a certain amount of time to get it ...  Read the complete review

My mum is amazing, she is my best friend and the most important person in my life (along with my dad, brother and sister) She is 50 and there is not one thing i dont like about her. She is beautiful but doesnt know it and she has the biggest and kindest heart of any single person i have ever met. She would do anything for me and i the same for her. When i am feeling down or need cheering up, she always helps put a smile on my face. I am very close to her and love her more than anything. She had been married to my dad for thirty years and they are still very much in love. I love spoiling her on her birthday and on mothers day because she is so special to me.
