I'm a little hurt....
that today is my birthday and I have yet to receive a birthday call or e-mail or anything from my parents?!?!
We've been having a few issues lately, but still! Some of you all ready know the story that DH and my parents do not get a long, it's a long story. They haven't treated him very nicely in the last 11 years, and now that we're moved into our own home and the baby is on the way they're wanting to fix things. Which is great, and I totally understand it but it's not going to be easy. You can't treat someone like crap for 11 years and then just expect it to be all right because you want it to be, and because it's in the past. So anyway, a while ago my Mom asked me to talk to DH and find out what the problem really was (even though I've told her a million times!) and then let her know so she could try and fix it. So I did, and I wrote her a letter (easier for me to write it down than try and talk it all out!) and let her know how he was feeling and how I was feeling and what my thoughts were on the whole situation. That was earlier this week I did that. Still haven't heard a result from that one yet, so we'll see what happens.
Well a week or so ago she sent DH a FB message saying that they wanted to come to our place today on my birthday to see the house, and bring me a cake and all that. I didn't know about this, and DH didn't tell me about it right away either. So last week when I was at my Aunt's for a baby shower my family organized my Mom asked me if DH had mentioned it to me and I said no he hadn't but I would ask him about it. So I did and he said that he wasn't sure if he got the message but he would check. Well come to find out on Wednesday that he pretended he didn't get the message because he had a surprise organized for me!! He booked me a 1.5 hour massage, and then made dinner reservations and plans to go to a movie!! He arranged for his Mom to come and look after our dog all evening and he wanted the whole thing to be a surprise. We haven't been out that much lately because we got the puppy, and then we've been packing and moving into the house so it will be a nice treat. So I told my Mom what he had planned, and all she said was "Have fun, it's no big deal anyway." So I told her it wasn't that it was a big deal it's just he all ready had all this arranged before you said you wanted to come up.
So I guess since all that is going on she's just decided to forego the whole thing all together and not even bother to call or e-mail at least to say happy birthday. I don't know, maybe I'm just being selfish or childish but I thought she would at least call this morning and say something. I can't imagine not doing at least that even if we do have plans. And I told her they could come up maybe next weekend instead and we could do it then, but that's probably not good enough.
Anyway, vent over! Thanks for listening! Just had to get that out!
