Daughter torn over parents 60th birthday present as miserable mum's attitude ruins day

A daughter is torn over whether she should take her mum away on a spa day for a special birthday, as she fears her miserable attitude will ruin the occasion.

The upset woman took to popular social forum, Mumsnet, to ask advice on if she is being unreasonable on thinking about cancelling the whole day out. The woman booked a spa day for her and her mum, costing over £600 to celebrate her 60th birthday.

However, her mother doesn't seem excited by it at all, and the daughter is suspicious that she'll criticise the day out the entire time they are there. She also added that this isn't a new behaviour for her mum, and that she's spend her life "trying to cheer her up".
