I'm back
yes
I am finally back on my site, that is if anyone has even visited!
I have totally been out of the loop recently. Little Miss Attitude has started k-4 A hurricane hit, my 34th birthday arrived. Alot has been going on!
I haven't really had a lot to complain about,I really have had a geat couple of months and I guess I didn't feel the need to rant, plus, getting up earlier these days has taken its toll on me. I have been going to be very early. Plus,catching up on my favorite shows. I LOVE TIVO!
I guess now I have a few things to complain about so I am back. First off, we have been trying to have a second child. Technically, I have been trying to get pregnant for about 3 years. My husband and I have been trying for about 3 months. It took me all of the previous years, of hounding, begging, showing him our friend's new babies ( don't do this by the way)to finally get him to the point, of agreement. So, we are finally here, trying, but, I knew I had some weight issues, and health problems, and I wanted to go to my Rhuematologist to follow up on some test results.
Some good news, it wasn't arthritis, etc. But, the bad news is that I have to stop trying to get pregnant for at least three months, so he can recheck all of my blood work once more, because I am showing signs of some kind of auto-immune disease but,I may never know exactly what is wrong. In the meantime, my eggs are shriveling up as we speak. My daughter is going to be an adult sibling. my husband finally agrees to have another child and now this crap!! I know it is for a good reason. But, I can still be mad!
Ok, the second thing is My In-laws!
My daughter had her first Grandparents Day at her school. My parents live in a different state, and could not be here, but, my husband's parents live down the street. I literally wrote the date on their calendars and reminded them repeatedly. They assured me they would be there. Except that we are talking about CudaDad's parents. I love them, but they are not normal people.
On this special day my child had to spend her morning in class all by her self while all if the others grandparents were sitting in the class with their grandchildren. I would have sat in there with her, but, had volunteered to help with the day, so I couldn't stay in there.
My mother in law, had changed her doctors appointment to the time of the classroom visit. My father-in-law decided to do some other business meeting. Instead of coming when he meeting was over, he went back to his office and waited on Grandma to come get him only she did not know this, she finally came just in time to see my daughter perform on stage. My father in law, still not there. He finally arrives in time for the luncheon, and they have lunch, a nice catered lunch, with white tablecloths and all of the beautiful decorations, it was truly a nice display. Beautiful desserts and it wasn't too fancy, it was just right.
First they complained about the fact that I could not sit there the whole time, but, like I said before I was volunteering for the dinner. The second complaint came a few days ago. Little Miss Attitude did not get her own lunch, because I ordered one for her and myself to share. They did not know this, most childrent just had their snack that they brought to school. It was uo to the parents to by the dinners for everyone.
My MIL told me over lunch that they had a talk and that they were just not satisfied with that that Grandparents day luncheon. Theu didn't didn't like that the children didn't get lunch, just the grandparents. I told her I had bought the dinners in advance, it was up to the parents to by their children something, and thst my daughter did have a lunch. Then she decided that they thought it was just awful that they provided such a nice display, that they thought having a hotdog and chips would have been sufficient. Not once could they say something nice about the day, or that they hated to miss out all of the events. When I offered my daughter to show her classroom to her grandfather he reluctantly agreed to it. He only came for the lunch and was ready to go back to work. They do love her, but, they lve themsleves more. I am sure this is not true, but, many things they do seem to be self serving. When my MIL told me these things, I was so pissed off. I did bite my tongue,but, I did add that the school is a nice school and that they do their dinners like that, and I mentioned that I had paid for the dinners in advance, I really didn't want them to know that I had bought their lunch, I was just trying to be nice.
I just get so angry that they just don't care, they complain about everything. Whether it is a restaurant or hotel, or a dinner, or a present. i am just tired of it all. I had to deal with my daughter constantly wondering where her grandparents were and why weren't they in her class, not once did they apologize to her.
Next time, I believe we will miss the grandparents day, or I will tell them about it and plan to be in my daughter's class if they don't pull through. I will plan to just get used to the selfishness for the next 12 or 13 years that my daughter is in school. Either that, or plenty of valium.
