not that bad
Hello world, flora here,
Hey, guess what? It turns out that it's not that bad after all. Sorry to sound dire yesterday. I think we're going to be ok. However, my inlaws have this really irritating habit of being bothered by something we did and only telling us about it after the fact. Worse yet, they often will say it on behalf of someone else and then say "don't tell so and so I told you this." They did this in 2004 when we bought a house and then they were hurt that we didn't invite them over for thanksgiving dinner. Never mind the fact that we didn't have anyone over for Thanksgiving, I was in school full time, H was working full time and we were still in the moving state. Then it happened again when Mother-In-Law was hurt because we didn't visit for mother's day. Nevermind the fact that, her birthday is a week later and we told her weeks ahead that it would be better for us to make the drive on her birthday because we didn't live all that close at the time, we were trying to sell our house in a poor housing market and I was really upset by that choice, I still miss our old house. Now they're upset because we didn't visit Grandma while she was in hospice care. Once again they completly forget all the other times we dropped what we were doing to help out with her stroke, visit/care for her while they were working or just getting some time to themselves and H called multiple times only to be told that since there wasn't any change there wasn't much point in coming over anyways. What were we suppose to do? Just barge in? And what's really ironic is that they wonder why we're not closer.
