That awkward moment...
...when your mother realizes she was not invited to my son's First Communion.
That's how I started my morning. Hope your morning is going better. Advertisement |

Re: That awkward moment...
Was it intentional not to invite her or an accident?
My morning is consisting of scouring the area for a cello for my oldests solo performance tomorrow. I love when the school tells me 3 days prior that he needs a cello. I called our local music store right away when I found out and they said they'd call me back but that hasn't happened so now I'm on the hunt myself. Yay... |

It was intentional. It was a very low key affair and put together quickly. It wasn't a big group just my son and his best friend. When we thought of inviting my mother and brother we decided that it was not worth the aggravation. It was one of the most peaceful low stress events we've had so we were right. My brother does not stress me out but when combined with my mother the combo is toxic. |

My dd overheard me talking about the First Communion and she chimed in that she thought it was really nice and relaxed. I forget that if I'm stressed they get stressed by association. When I mentioned the upcoming Confirmation her first words were I'll go if someone picks me up. Yes, that's exactly what I want to do on my son's confirmation day. Drive 2 hours, twice on a weekday to pick someone up who could really care less about what's being celebrated. I've shifted to self preservation mode when it comes to interacting with them. |

Yeah driving that far just to pick someone up and take them right back doesn't sound fun. Especially if they aren't appreciative. |

My ds has a scholarship application due on Monday that he has not even started. I'm not sure why he didn't start earlier this week. He's been off school too. I just had that conversation. It's raining. I'm getting a stye. This Friday is seeming blah. |

I'm sorry you are dealing with this today. ☹️ I can't imagine driving 4 hours for someone who doesn't care about the event. It just baffles me how people can act so ridiculous. |

She pulled some antics for Easter but it worked to my benefit (didn't have to meet up) but she somehow thinks I'm oblivious because I chose not to engage. Quote:
Ds is working on the application right now. Lucky, he had a solid start to it. |
