I can't even with my mom and her drama right now

[sawyerthedestroyer]

I know this is WBC, but I want to vent.

ILs drove twenty hours to visit us last week through the holiday and left this morning to drive twenty hours home. My parents live two hours away.

We made plans with my parents to meet at a park about halfway between them and us so ILs wouldn't have to spend four hours in the car the day before they were going to drive twenty hours. My parents agree. Great!

It rained yesterday. All day. It wasn't a good day for the park. My mom is the one that sent a text to me saying the weather wasn't good for a park. Okay, mom, we can meet at a restaurant in halfway city instead of going to park. Mom says no, going to be too crowded. Okay, then come here and we will host. Mom again says no, she doesn't want to be in car for four hours that day either. Fine. We'll do Easter another time she says. I think everything is fine.

This morning I have a long message on Facebook about how butthurt she is that we cut her out of Easter and if she had known she wouldn't get to see us on Sunday she would have met us at local theme park that we went to on Saturday (it was like herding cats just getting ILs, H, and DS through that park OMFG - Not to mention my parents can go to this theme park with us anytime BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIVE TWENTY HOURS AWAY FROM US).

And then we committed the ultimate sin by driving less than an hour to a hiking trail because somehow being in a car for about 1.5 hours round-trip is exactly the same as being in a car for four hours round-trip according to my mom.

So she's not mad at me, but she's mad. I don't know what she's mad at. The weather?

There. I got all of the sarcasm out here so I don't unleash it on my mom.

She sounds menopausal...

Sounds like my mom. Sigh. I can't handle the drama.

I just can't with this kind of shit. I'd respond that we didn't cut her out, we invited her and she CHOSE not to come over. It's unfortunate she regrets her decision but there's nothing you can do about that.

Up to you if you want to invite her over another time or leave it.
