From a strictly objective point of view:
On friday, richie worked his usual 7-3 and i had school then work until 9..i only saw him for about 2 hrs that night. On saturday, I took him to work at 6:15 am (downtown) and he had work 7-3, then he worked a banquet right after that until 11, and he made 150 just for the banquet. so i picked him up at 1130 and dropped him at home. today, i took him to work at 615 again, then i went and bought him stand by me bc its his fav movie, and i figured since he had a long weekend, id do something nice. i picked him up from work at 330 then dropped him home. his plan was to watch the game with me tonight while he got drunk, which was fine by me bc he just worked a lot and he has off tomorrow. [sidenote: he has been planning on hanging out with his cousin leanna for a while now, but they never make actual arrangements to do so] leanna was at his house bc she came up to go to the baby shower. richie texted me a half hour ago asking if i care if he goes downtown with leanna and stays over her house tonight.
His view (im assuming): he had a long weekend and he just wants to kick back and relax with his cousin...he didnt ask me to pick him up from work, i just offered. he didnt ask for the movie, i just got it. he never gets to see leanna and he sees me all the time.
My view: i just took him to and from work 2 days in a row. yes i offered today, but he just assumed that i was going to pick him up last night, and i sat up waiting for him to get done. i wasnt offered any gas money, even after hes loaded from last night alone. i bought him a movie bc i thought id do something ELSE nice for him since hes probably stressed from work. I didnt see him much at all this weekend and was looking forward to watching the game with him tonight. I know he wants to hang out with leanna, but originally his plan was to do that on a night that he had work the next day so that he didnt have to take the train. plus even though its convenient, its not like it was planned..it was spur of the moment.
Soo.....do i have a right to be annoyed? should i say something if i am? even if i SHOULD be annoyed, i dont think he'll understand why i am, and he'll just get annoyed right back.
