Oh, H.

Yesterday he told son they had a surprise for me. They've been excited and talking it up. It's going to a movie and dinner (with the lead up I thought it was going to be something a bit b bigger but whatever, dinner at whatever chain restaurant and the latest Pixar film is fine). He's just NOW trying to order tickets and is all 'ok, there are only seats up front. And the theater is 45 minutes away. And the movie is an hour and a half long so we're looking at getting home at 9 at the earliest.'  And now he's acting like it's  this big pain in the butt. Wtf??  Why didn't he buy the tickets last night?  Or get home before 6? Or, I don't know, PLAN something. He makes me crazy with this shit.

He gets an A for effort.....


No not really. That would annoy me. I hope you still have fun.

Dinner, redbox and popcorn and candy at home?

Oh, no. We're leaving now for the show. Which we will miss part of because I'll be dammed if I'm taking a dinnerless 5 year old to a movie. I am annoyed. Can anyone tell how fucking annoyed I am?

[speckledfrog]

What? Just don't go. No reason to have shitty plans when you can do nothing an be far less annoyed.

[lilac05]

That's ridiculous.

But if you're going to see Inside Out, I've heard it's a wonderful movie.

It is ridiculous. I agree. And I won't lie, I'm a little disappointed. We're eating protein bars in the car. And we didn't cancel because Rocco was super pumped to go to the movie. I don't know why I'm so upset about this but I am. Maybe I'm hungry? They have hot dogs and stuff at this theater so I can at least get my kid something to eat. He just does this all the time. MAkes all these grand plans but his shit sense of time always makes it so we're running out the door. If he had called me on his way home I could have fixed us a quick lite meal. Ugh. Forget it. I'm just going to stop bitching about it now.

Your movie has assigned seating?

[Deleted]

Yeah. When You order the tickets on line for AMC theaters you can pick your seats. We ended up picking a theater that was further away to get seats that weren't on top of the screen. Which is why we don't have time for dinner. It's pretty awesome actually.

You have every right to be super irritated.

My favorite theater has reclining leather seats, tables, alcohol, assigned seating, and delivers food to your seat.

Non-planners are the worst.

[rachers]

Aw I'm sorry, that would really hurt my feelings. I hope yall still enjoy the night!

[marylennox]

I would be annoyed. It's nice that he tried but it sounds like a really half assed try. If you're gonna do something for someone, plan that shit out or just don't do it. I also hate being late to the movies so for me that would add to the annoyance. I hope you enjoy the movie at least and the rest of your night is better!

I completely agree that you have every right to be pissed, but now that it's happening try to let it go. Your kid will be thrilled to eat a movie hot dog.

I did. And we did enjoy the movie.
