Sooooo... I talked to my sister. That was a fun conversation.. NOT!! Talk about being BITTER. She was really upset about the trip. She cant go, and just didnt want to tell my mom that. She was acting like my mom went and PURPOSELY planned this trip at a time when she cant possibly go. how in the heck is my mom supposed to know when my sisters kids have finals?? Seriously!! I didnt even know!! She was going on and on about how awful my mom is being, and everyone is against her... blah, blah blah.. She was freaking out! Its just a trip[ for crying out loud. Are we all supposed to sit around twiddling our thumbs because of what is going on with them??? COME ON. GRRRRR... Im not insensitive to her situation, but dang.. it isnt my fault!

Oh My! Don't tell me...you're preggers with septuplets now and we're going to have to watch you on TLC now instead of the DIS.

Megan and Frelan plus... OMG!

Dang, share the wealth with your hyena friends, I would love vacationing in some beach front house for $10,000 a week and own a million dollar home.

Hmmmm....Johnny Depp had dinner and left a $4,000 tip. As Chelsea Handler just said "that's my kinda pirate"!

Okay.. there is more. This is about my Aunt.. My dads sister. She has been calling, and I really dont know what to say to her. There is all this drama between her and my mom because of what happened with my dad. My dad was NOT well before he died. I know this, my om knows this... But I dont think his family knows this. My mom is really bitter about how his family treated her at the end, and just basically ignored her and all that. Now.. my aunt is trying to get in touch with us.

I know she just wants to have a piece of my dad back.. I get that. My dad raised her, and they were super close. But if I talked to her, I would feel guilty.. Like I am going behind my moms back, you know? And my mom and I are FINALLY in a good place. We have never been so close. She drives me nuts still.. But I LOVE that we can talk like adults. I dont want to lose that.

COme to find out... My aunt called... my other aunt. That sounds funny. My dads sister called my moms sister. She wanted to know how everyone was and why we were calling her and all that. She doesnt know about the twinnies... and doesnt know that my mom has moved back.. nothing. I dont know. Its a REALLY hard situation. There are so many hard feelings all the way around.

Just go about your plans. Don't let her ruin your fun (not that I think you would anyway). Seriously, if she can't go then she can't go. Maybe your Mom can do something with her family at another time.

I would jump off a bridge. REALLY!!! We talk al the time about we totally could have had more then just twins. My Dr. was ready to put me on clomid... can you IMAGINE how many kids we would have had???????

youch!
I'm sure she's stressed out with her money woes.. but ya like were you suppose to plan life around her schedule?

Bummer. I love my family. But there is a reason that's it better to have them a bit of a distance away, I like them all the more in the small doses.

Seriously, every vacation thing I have planned with E's family has caused me major head aches. We just don't like the same things, have different styles of touring. Planning out with a bigger group is difficult too.

Are you sure your aunt isn't my SIL? Are we related??

You don't want my advice. The last few years I tend to tell my family off, do what I want and say to heck with it. But hey, it seems to work for me.

I hink everthing hit her at once. the stress of her dh being unemployed is really putting a strain on her marraige, plus they are massively behind on all their bills... about to lose their house... I feel bad, but what can I do??

right!! im kinda glad they arent going. like I want to deal with moody teens on top of dealing with moody babies!!

 

[funnygarcia]

Are moody babies like mood rings, you know like they change color?

mmmmmmmm cake. night!

There was a time that E got really tired of his family drama, it was hurting him and causing a lot of heartache for all of us.

When we moved the first time, while he attended college, we didn't tell them our phone number or address. It felt odd, but gave us all a breather until they made the first contact and began mending things again.
Now, things are better.

I don't have any real advice, but family drama does resolve somehow..

My mom is going to write my AUnt a letter.. Better that then talk to her and freak out over the phone, right??

 

[staley7580]

My babies are wearing 9 months. I just thought I would let you all know how BEASTLY my babies are getting. Thank goodness our car seats go to 30 pounds, otherwise we would be shopping for new ones already.

That's a good idea.

 

[staley7580]

That's a good idea.
