if you split up with your wife though would you mum want you to get back with her?
A relationship based on your parents? I wonder how that would work.
Only if I really liked them.
Only because your parents wanted to? Nah, not a chance in this world.
Depends on why we split.
If I cheated on the wife I'd have my mum to deal with first though:D
Are you saying your family wanted you to go out with him ???
My mum is another one who constantly drops clangers into conversations how wonderful so-and-so's son/brother/milkman is, which I find utterly hilarious
My nan is the same!! She keeps dropping hints about two lads she knows who are at cambridge and very wealthy - their dad donated a £million to Cambridge University, they used to pop over to lapland to see father christmas for the day and they have a swimming pool underneath what used to be their playroom!! Nan thinks one of them would be perfect for me but that's because she's a snob and wants to be able to tell people that "Sarah's going out with one of the lads from that family".
:yes: Damn straight doggy
you should arrange for me to be in exceter next time they visit :P
They'd love it :thumb:
