Argghhh...can you see me hitting myself in the head!!!
We were going to go a little further for our miniature golf outing and decided not to because of rain. H asked me if we did take the drive would I still go to my mom's when we got home and I said yes. H said even if it's after 7 pm...I said yes...I wanted to give her a card.
I did thank H and S last night for making Mother's Day special.
Deep down I think it was the issue of my family. I don't think my H feels welcome there, even though he would be, because of what happened and wishes he could come to these events--I have four brothers who all hunt and fish. So his "stress" was because of that more than that if he had plans for us...IMHO. It happened at Easter.
But you are right about the family thing. My H and S are my family, yes it's nice to see my "family" and H's "family", but I think I should be more considerate of OUR family FIRST. Giving me something to think about anyway.
I think my one SIL was there under pressure, too. She told me she wanted to spend the day in her pajama's, but then got the call about dinner and so they were there, too. She's very family and said to me at Xmas that "I supposed we won't see your H anymore" She is very forgiving. My niece (SIL's daughter) works at a convenience store and a coworker of my H's stopped in to purchase a few things a couple weeks ago. Niece saw the name on his shirt was the same company H worked for and asked him if he knew my H (her uncle.) And the guy said "yeah he's a nice guy" to which my niece replied "I think he's a f****** A**" The coworker let my H know what she said and H retold me the story. And then my H said "your whole family probably feels the same way" My niece is 20 and mouthy...I think this age group tends to see thinks more black and white, but what do I know.
