Poor Hubby in a poopy mood :-(
I need to cheer up the hubby somehow this week.
His family ever since he was young would take a cruise and leave him home. It really ticks me off to see him so upset and for them to just take the mentality of get over it...I felt like telling them if it was marty and i taking a trip and leaving everyone else out, how would they feel.
He was raised with his younger siblings by his step father because his dad wasnt around as a kid. Although now the relationship is slightly better, it bothers him that his younger sisters get to go on the cruises (they are 23 and 25) and that his step dads family leaves him out every since he was old enough to remember. Basically the whole cruise is paid for by his step fathers father. To me..i think that i would feel bad taking my 3 kids and leaving the other 3 home like that just because the marriage between their father and the mother didnt work out...let the kids suffer? and play favorites? Him and his 2 biological sisters feel a great deal of resentment and rather than his mom and step dad saying something...like "you know what we dont think its right so we opt not to go" they get mad that he is in a pissy mood because of it and keep saying...get over it you are just jealous.
His sister today said, i dont feel bad at all that i get to go on cruises for free...Marty just needs to get over it. And i really felt like slapping her. This was the same sister who did nothing for our wedding as a WP member...didnt even buy her dress or a card...yet 2 weeks after our wedding went to Trinidad to a friends wedding and a bachelorette party in Vermont but couldnt come to mine.
The other sister and also a BM basically told us we had to watch her pitbull this week while she is gone. Didnt ask...Told us...marty told her no and all of the sudden we are the biggest A-holes....and she hates us etc. Mind you, the dog is vicious...he bites at the drop of a hat and our neice and nephew will be over this weekend (he attacked my nephew last month)..hes uncontrollable and i dont want to be liable if something happens.
It just proves the selfishness of some people.
End Rant
I need to cheer him up. We have the house to ourselves for 10 days. Still arent ready to close on our house yet but we were hoping we would have been moved by now. But we need a vaca soon. Suggestions?
Re: Poor Hubby in a poopy mood :-(
I know how you feel BIL and SIL are this way. It's all about her family and never his. For Father's Day H and I had plans to spend with my dad (a relationship I'm just now getting back) and my stepdad and FIL. Well since MIL moved in that Friday we knew we would have to change things. Wouldn't you know BIL and SIL had all these plans with her family and NEVER asked if we needed to see anyone. Made me so mad and she had the nerve to tell me that we could have found someone else to stay with MIL. UGH!
Anyways as for cheering him up I would go on a weekend trip somewhere. Just like a little B&B or something. Or even go to the nearest big city around there and stay the weekend and just go have a little fun. See a movie and have a nice dinner just the 2 of you.
