I am really irked
I think I have posted before about J's Godmother. ?I see her online posting pics of hanging out with her friends. ?What bugs the hell out of me is that she says she is always so busy, yet she has time to go partying with her friends (not me), but she can't make time to visit her godson. ?She hasn't seen him since August I think (I know it was before he started school). ?I am also irked but not as badly that I invited her to my b-day party and she didn't even bother to wish me a happy birthday.
It wouldn't bother me if it was us who picked her, but it was her who wanted to be his godmother from the time she knew I was pregnant!?
I know I can't make her want to be a part of his life but I really want to strangle her. ?I have stopped saving pictures for her. ?I tell her we can get together at her convenience & that I would even go down to her house in Alhambra, it isn't like she lives that far away from us. I tried even telling her that I have pics for her so lets gtg, but nothing works. ?I used to call her my BFF but she doesn't even respond to my messages on FB or any e-mails. Our families have been together for more than 20 years, her parents are my sister's godparents.?
It just pisses me off that it seems like she doesn't even want to be a part of his life, when she asked to take a big role in it. I want her to know how much it pisses me off. It is not like I can change who is godmother is, so he can have someone better, he is stuck with her forever. I am angry and bitter, I can't help it!
Thanks for listening!?
Re: I am really irked
I'm so sorry that you're frustrated. Jos' godmother seems to be just a token title. She sends presents and Christmas but I wish we had more of a relationship. I chose her, so that's a bit different of a situation than yours, but still. I had hoped that being Jos' godmother would bring us close, but maybe it's because she is in a "different place" than we are...married but no kids...not sure if there is TTTC.
Have faith that J will build other strong relationships and know that he is and will continue to thrive! Big hugs!!!
Hmmm...personally, it sounds like she is mad at you about something. It seems kind of odd that someone who was once considered your BFF is now giving you the very cold shoulder.
It's too bad she is not replying to your emails or calls, because I would ask her if she is upset and try to resolve it.
Well, I definitely don't blame you for being irked. In the end, it is her loss.
