seriously sister? WTF?
So, I just got a text from my sister. "What's going on with a mother's day gift for Mom?"
Um, mom's on the road right effing now to visit you. For 5 days (during which she's going to clean up your sty of an apartment, cook for you, take you shopping, alter the clothes she buys you, stock your pantry, and work in your garden). One of those days is freaking mother's day. And you want ME to plan a gift for you to "go in on" with Brother and I, for which you won't give either of us any money?
Yeah, no.
Go get her some flowers and give them to her in person.
ri-effiing-diculous.
Re: seriously sister? WTF?
Sounds like your sister should throw you mom a fricking parade.
Reply with "I got her a card - you are on your own."
She sounds like a real peach.
that's utterly fvvcked. i'm sorry.
i have a vent about someone who is not my sister.
my sil texted me to remind me to "get something for mom."
A). not my mom.
C). i'm 35, have a stable job, a good marriage, a healthy kid, a mortgage, and i even can fix my goddamned pool all by myself. enough already with the "helpful" reminders, junior. the helpful reminders are not only misdirected (i.e. SEND THEM TO YOUR BROTHER), but wholly unnecessary because i'm a functioning adult.
i ignored the text. my husband is .029292 seconds away from bringing down the hammer.
lol, my sister left me a voicemail on Sunday asking what "we" were doing for mom. I still haven't called her back.
I'm like - actually getting a card for her into the mail for once would be nice?
We're taking her to lunch so there's nothing to "go in on".
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
That would make me insane cville.
I too, ignored my text. Calling back would have only resulted in me saying something passive aggressive, and unambiguously bitchy, so I called my brother instead to b*tch.
cville, you can kill her. omg. This would drive me nuts. My mil used to send me 'reminders' to put things on my FIL's grave for Memorial Day till I told her she needed to remind dh of that, not me. "But he won't do anything". Well then there is your answer, ma'am. She does grave blankets every year, whatever that is.
Dr, I'd send back a note that says "I've already sent her my gift; since she'll be with you can get her some flowers and take her to lunch."
