Well mom broke down and called sis and they figured out their dinner plans...
Then sis and I went to see the high school production of Les Miserables....yeah, really! I didn't know if they could pull it off but they did! There are 3 amazing girls in that class, all going to college for musical theater. And 2 great guys, the rest so-so.
After that went out to my parents' house. Other sis was there with her husband. We rented "4 Christmases" with Reese Witherspoon/Vince Vaughn. Very funny!
Then things kind of went south. I am probably just overly sensitive. I got up to leave and mom told my dad to go back my car out for me (they live in the country and it is really snowy here, their driveway is gravel/narrow so they worried I would get stuck).
I said I was capable of doing it myself and got my coat. Then mom asked if I needed help carrying my stuff to the car. All I had was one crock pot! Like I can't carry a crock pot!? So I snapped at her and said I was quite capable of carrying a crock pot. Of course my dad put his coat on and went outside anyway in case I needed a push.
I know they mean well, but seriously! Ever since Dan left they have been on overdrive treating me like I need help with everything. It pisses me off cause to me it would appear they think I am capable of NOTHING on my own.
Hello? I have been THE responsible caregiver for my kids for the better part of two years. I got this whole house unpacked and organzied after the move. I have paid all my bills and not had to ask anyone for help. I went and did all the divorce stuff basically on my own. I just hate being treated like an imbecile.
Of course it goes deeper than that. Just brings back childhood memories. I was a super-smart straight A student but that was the only area where I ever got any credit. Otherwise my parents treated me like a 2 year old and the unspoken message was that I needed help with everything...so frustrating.
So anyway sorry for the vent. I don't know why but I got in the car and backed around without anybody's help, thankyouverymuch, and then I cried all the way home. What is wrong with me??
