  3. My late mother, Barbie, used to make fun of me as "old fashioned" because I like line dried linens. This week I'm unzipping all the upholstery and washing it, along with the curtains. I picture her chuckling, and shaking her head from beyond the grave. #linedried #clothesline #linedriedlinens #linedriedclothing #linedriedwashing #washing #washingday #springcleaning #summercleaning #curtains #towels #upholstery #backyard #countrylife #countrified #oldfashioned #mother #mothers

  4. A quotation from Euripides

    JASON: O children, what a wicked mother she was to you!
    MEDEA: They died from a disease they caught from their father.
    JASON: I tell you it was not my hand that destroyed them.
    MEDEA: But it was your insolence, and your virgin wedding.
    JASON: And just for the sake of that you chose to kill them.
    MEDEA: Is love so small a pain, do you think, for a woman?
     
    [ἸΆΣΩΝ: ὦ τέκνα, μητρὸς ὡς κακῆς ἐκύρσατε.
    ΜΉΔΕΙΑ: ὦ παῖδες, ὡς ὤλεσθε πατρῴᾳ νόσῳ.
    ἸΆΣΩΝ: οὔτοι νιν ἡμὴ δεξιά γ᾽ ἀπώλεσεν.
    ΜΉΔΕΙΑ: ἀλλ᾽ ὕβρις οἵ τε σοὶ νεοδμῆτες γάμοι.
    ἸΆΣΩΝ: λέχους σφε κἠξίωσας οὕνεκα κτανεῖν;
    ΜΉΔΕΙΑ: σμικρὸν γυναικὶ πῆμα τοῦτ᾽ εἶναι δοκεῖς;]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Medea [Μήδεια], l. 1363ff (431 BC) [tr. Warner (1944)]

  8. A quotation from Balzac

    The fact is, my sweet, every mother spends her time, so soon as her children are out of her sight, in imagining dangers for them. Perhaps it is Armand seizing the razors to play with, or his coat taking fire, or a snake biting him, or he might tumble in running and start and absess on his head, or he might drown himself in a pond. A mother’s life, you see, is one long succession of dramas, now soft and tender, now terrible. Not an hour but has its joys and fears.
     
    [En effet, mon ange, durant le jour, toutes les mères inventent des dangers. Dès que les enfants ne sont plus sous leurs yeux, c’est des rasoirs volés avec lesquels Armand a voulu jouer, le feu qui prend à sa jaquette, un orvet qui peut le mordre, une chute en courant qui peut faire un dépôt à la tête, ou les bassins où il peut se noyer. Comme tu le vois, la maternité comporte une suite de poésies douces ou terribles. Pas une heure qui n’ait ses joies et ses craintes.]

    Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) French novelist, playwright
    Letters of Two Brides [Mémoires de deux jeunes mariées], Part 1, letter 45 (1840) [tr. Scott (1897)]

  9. Mother looked after our cat and plants for the past week while we were away. We're very grateful.

    But she can't just do as she's asked. She dug out the small watering can that is too little instead of using the milk bottles as asked. She bought a brush for the cat because "your one was too small". And left a (new?) litter scoop here instead of just using ours.

    All small things, but part of a pattern. She house sat for us once for 5 days and bought storage units and reorganised my partner's underwear, unasked.

    And she chronically feels unappreciated and takes everything as criticism so I don't think I'll say anything to her. But next time I'll just pay a stranger to come and feed the cat.
