That was a belter of a first birthday party. Seeing the youngster with his first presents. Felt like a big kid myself
Mother is going to send a nice "thank you" to W for the present "we" bought. "Friend" may get pi$$ed off with this because she was of the opinion (whatever the heck that is worth) that the mum and dad were not suitable to be parents (see what I'm putting up with?).
And she's going to lay it on thick. She knows a manipulative opportunity. No prisoners. And NO I did NOT ask her to do this. Bring on the 2x4's people.
And an added bonus. Just been to buy dinner at local supermarket. Someone in a BIG 4x4 was waving me down. I nearly drove on but stopped. It was one of W's B's. So much for me thinking that they had said "pi$$ off Mac". I thought they would if W told them I wasn't supporting her financially. Instead had a long normal chat. Big relief. Why was he there? To buy fish food (at 8:30 in the night). A man after my own heart.
And I bucked up the courage to call other BIL to ask if he'd got the TV for use by son. Said yes. And thank you. His S is over the moon now that he can watch his cartoons. And as another bonus - the rest of the family gets to watch TV as well
I told them that we're having a quiet(er) night tomorrow with just a few friends and they were most welcome to come around. BIL (1) said maybe not tomorrow but they would make a plan for the weekend. Mac is a happy chappie!
So - lots of big plus's. Big relief. Weight off my shoulders. All these nasty thoughts percolating in my head gone. Poof!
Moral of the story - don't read things onto situations - you will most probably be wrong. And don't under any circumstances let them build up. Nail then as they come up.
Guys - this DB stuff really is SO counter intuitive. I actually think I see the results. OMG - me - seeing results?
