I Need Things, Too
I invited Robby over to watch the Daytona 500 with me on Valentines Day. He hasn't met my family yet, and I'm nervous about it, so I decided to make it a casual event. (What's more casual in my house than nascar?)
I thought everyone would be home to watch the race. I thought we'd all be together.
But Feb. 14 is Scout Sunday, so Nick's going to be at the church.
And Chris JUST told me (even though I've been telling him for a week to clear his schedule) that he isn't going to be here. I got mad at the fact that he didn't tell me this WHILE I WAS PLANNING THE DAY.
I'm frustrated. Anytime I need everyone together, it never happens. Nobody seems to understand how important this is to me. I really care about Robby, and I want this to go right. I don't want him to meet just Dad and Mike...
He'll never come back if he does. :|
So, do I cancel or go through with it? I'm nervous as hell about it in general. I'm worried that Dad or Mike (mainly Mike) is going to give Robby a hard time, and he's already worried enough. I know Robby wants to meet them, and he thinks that I've been blowing him off about it, but I really haven't. I just want everything to go perfectly, and that word just doesn't exist in my house. It never has.
Plus nobody's going to be home, and I can't blame them. Nick knew about this months ago, and Chris wants to be with his girlfriend.
But when Chris asked us all to meet his girlfriend Brittany, I blew off plans with a friend to make it happen. I've made sacrifices for all of them. I've given more than I've taken.
And nobody seems to realize that I need things, too.
I don't think it would be smart to reschedule. Robby already thinks that I don't like him, because I won't let him meet my family. I just can't bring myself to say, "It's not you, it's them."
So, I guess he'll just have to meet half of the family.
Better than none, I guess.
