mum - glad you are out of the hospital and got to be home for mother's day!
Batty- i'm so sorry you are going through all of that. I don't remember all the details- but still you don't need that stress. I had this friend a long time ago that was always talking about how horrible her life was, how she was just going to kill herself. And she loved having people tell her how great she was, and how sad they would all be. And then she would go on and on about killing herself to get a rise and compliments. One day i was fed up with worrying about her- and said you know, for as long as i've known you you've been tlaking about killing yourself. And you've never done it, and i'm pretty sure it's just a game you are playing. So, unless you are ACTUALLY planning on doing it- stop making everyone feel sorry for you and take some responsibility for your life. She stopped. Didn't talk about that for a long time after it. It did hurt our relationship slightly but then she tried to be happier or at least stop making people feel so horrible. You don't need the drama!
As for me, yesterday for mother's day, we went to visit my mil, and had lunch with them, then i had maternity photos done at 430 with dh. It was a 2 hour session! And lovely! it's nice working with a friend who won't laugh at me or thinks that we are great together and a good boost of confidence. AND feeling really pretty- i really suggest to all of you if you have been on the fence about it- go get them done! you will feel lovely!
We were going to go to my moms after the shoot- and i was telling her on saturday i would be there later in the day- she FLIPPED out, told me that if i coudln't come around the time the photos were set up- NOT TO COME AT ALL! My mother just told me not to come to her house because i wouldn't make it to the bbq.
I was furious! I didn't even know about it- and i was going to come by and spend time- then she was mad because we were going to mil's earlier, and i reminded her we always leave everything early or don't go to events because my mother picked a particular time- and she shouldn't banish me because ONE TIME i had to switch a time. This is my day too! But no if she doesn't get her way, she doesn't budge for anyone. we fought for a while until i said i was done with it.
I wrote her an email yesterday morning saying happy mothers day and i love her and all that- and she ignored me, and i haven't heard from her since. All because, i coudln't show up exactly when she wanted me there.
I have to admit.... i'm pretty hurt right now.
