F/U to family drama ...
Now, I get an email from her this morning that says:
"I won't be coming to FL in March. I am planning on taking our week at the beach, so we will need to reschedule your visit. I realize you already had wedding plans in Nashville anyway, but the timing doesn't work for us. Love, Mom"
I am so ready to scream at her right now! I really really want to call and just bless her out for being so flucking selfish that she's scheduling a trip she told me she was too busy to take just to avoid inconveniencing herself enough to come down here. I was working my schedule around hers to help her get the vehicle down here, and because we missed a Christmas visit with them, and now she pulls this.
Somebody tell me that it's not worth blessing her out because it won't help, and there's no use. I really want to. She and my dad are constantly pulling stunts like this, and not paying attention to how they affect other people.
What they don't realize is that they've basically just lost their chance to see the boys because I can't just reschedule a visit any time. We were already stretching ourselves thin financially to make this trip so that I could make this wedding and visit with family. Now, I doubt I'll even go up because I just don't want to now. I may talk to DH about either flying in for the wedding by myself, or just skipping the whole thing. I'm so tired of the drama, and I have sh!t going on in my life too!
Re: F/U to family drama ...
WOW!
My Mom has pulled some stunts in her day and totally screwing others and not caring, but that is horrible! I'm so sorry she is doing this to you! I know how you feel when you say you want to ream her out, but it won't help. That is how my Mom is. She will somehow turn it back around on me. Good luck is all I can say! It's so sh!tty how people can only think of themselves and don't care who they hurt. When it comes down to it, your family should be there for you and it's horrible when they aren't.
Wow. That's kinda irrational. Sorry you're going through this.
I just have to ask. What on Earth does it mean to "bless someone out"? I've never heard that phrase before.
Basically, cuss them out. Not sure where it came from.
Thanks ladies. They boycotted us the entire time (3 years) we lived in Italy, including when we had our first child, and expected us to always come their way. So this is their spoiled brat, I'm going to throw a fit because you won't do what I want coming out. I'm tempted to respond "So I guess I should assume you won't ever be visiting us here either?" but I won't.
It sucks being the better person.
