Can Someone Please Explain to Me

How one old bitty can cause so much disruption when she comes to town?

We were summoned to T's dad's house at 7:15 last night to see grandmom.  We said "no".  Tonight we've been summoned to his sister's house (45 minutes away from us) at 5:30 for dinner.  T doesn't get home until 6:15.  If we don't go tonight then I'll have to deal with the sh*t storm by myself on Saturday while he's competing in the Tough Mudder.  And then we HAVE to go to dinner with them all on Sunday because she wants EVERYONE in the same room for dinner.

Who the hell does she think she is?!  And why isn't my husband man enough to stand up to this shrew?!

Re: Can Someone Please Explain to Me

  • I love that you used the word "summoned."  Did you tell dear sister that T doesn't get home until 6:15 and that it's a non-negotiable? Love how we wives get to direct the social calendar and all the crap that goes with it. K leaves all the planning and misc. social agendas to me. Even when his family calls and/or texts to arrange get gatherings he always tells them he has to check with his secretary first. Thanks babe.

    H would never see any of his friends or family if it weren't for me. Before we met he hadn't seen his parents in a year or his best friend in 2.

  • It sounds like there a whole lotta backstory that I don't remember. In a normal situation, having a few meals with granny while she is visiting seems appropriate when planned with everyone's schedules accommodated. My guess is that this is not the case. I hope you are able to get through the weekend!

    There is.

    I seriously wouldn't have an issue spending every day with her while she's in town, it's just her demeanor I guess.  When we try to make some sort of plan for the time she is here we get this wishy-washy response but then when we tell her (and T's dad) that it's 7:30 it's the baby's bedtime we'll get sh*t about it.  It's all so mind-boggling stupid.
