So I thought I was complaining to a sympathetic ear. But she interpreted it as my true feelings about going rather than just venting. It's confusing to me because we always sat together at the events and I always mentioned to her how proud it made me feel to see our kids doing these things, and how wonderful their performances were/ are. So I would have thought that she understood the venting (which was usually done before we had to go somewhere, never at the actual event) was in fact just venting. Lesson learned!
She's rewriting history to fit her mood. It's a good 180 to have, I will make it one of mine as well. Positive not negative.
You can not change your past, but you can ruin a perfectly good present by worrying about the future.
