Life With Mother: by Clarence Day Jr.

One of the most delightful books one can ever find.

A very neat, organised, methodical young man sets himself up in work and personal life before marrying someone he liked - only, she is neither organised nor methodical, not enough for him anyway.

On the other hand she is caring and wishes to keep up relationships, which goes towards disturbing his plans and life further what with relatives arriving and staying on for visits, and joining them for outings. And then there is the engagement ring he never gave her, and the question of church which he thinks he is too grown up now for, except as a benevolent head of the family looking on at others joining - very proper.

And above all, the accounts! The sicknesses and the preferences of each about how to deal with them .....

Really full of love it generates while reading, because it is chronicled by the son.

The good stories continue, this time with more focus on the mother and how she suddenly achieved a taste for some independence after going on a tour of Egypt with a friend and thereafter refused to give back the remaining money and declared she ought to have money of her own, and so forth - the endearing saga of impulsive mother and methodical defeated father continues.
