Oh WTF

So we're out this weekend shopping for presents for her daughters like an old married couple. When I get home she calls me to tell me that she doesn't think her daughters would be comfortable with me being there for the second Christmas after her divorce. I hope my presents have a nice fucking holiday.

I'm sorry to hear that.
It sounds more like she is the one that is uncomfortable with you being there for Christmas.

Krissy Point and shit taken. Thank you for the excellent point. I'll thank her for the shit when the time comes.

caress You could be right. Excellent point. Thank you.

Spin,

I tend to agree with caress. And sounds like she ispartially useing you but well I can't really judge from not knowingthe whole thing. Actually ought not to be judging in any case *sigh* good luck hun and if my family wasn't so overloaded with people I would be happy to invite you to my get together. But that would be silly as it would be missing the point. LOL okies I know I havr blonde roots in here somewhere. hugs and hope things are getting better hun.

HUM... come here and let me just "smack" ya for being gullible!

After all you have done, been there and you are not welcome to her home for Christmas? Daughters? Presents? <kick stomp>

Spin...
I hate to say it, but my mom used me as an excuse to her boyfriend when I was young and she didn't want to see him. Go figure?
But if the going got tough, she called him up and expected him to "jump" and fix the problem. That's not kewl, ya know?

I'm sorry babyboy! This bites!

~~~> jumping off the soap box and getting a "stiff drink" for you.

All you can do is accept that you were there when she needed you. It might not have been what you expected her to need, but at least you were needed. Understand, my friend?

some people are idiots

sry u were spending time with one

one thing i've learned as i've gotten older...is to stand up and fight for the things that make sense to me, particularly when it comes to stupidity around the holidays

...and you know what...i stood my ground at thanksgiving...and things worked out. I was so proud of that...in fact, I was completely vindicated...and it felt good...

Thing is, i'd be asking that woman a lot of questions and putting her on the spot..."Well, I hear you, that could feel strange, but can I ask you to do one thing? Could you at least ask your daughters how they feel about it? Particularly, can you ask them how they would feel about having me over, knowing that i care about them and just would love to spend time with all of you for the holidays?" When you ask questions, and express YOUR feelings...and acknowlege the other parties concerns and feelings...often a lot of headway can be made in a very short time...CHALLENGE the status quo...don't take it sitting down...

...Damn...i think i just came up with a new personal motto...."Challenge the status quo...don't take it sitting down."

I love it!

((((HUGS))))

Spin~

OK, this ain't gonna be an original observation, after all...

Being somewhat cynical by conditioning, I too caught the "she thought" inflection...

A] Did the kids say "No way" or not?

B] Are they going to find your presents an onerous presence?

3] (Never was any good at categorization... ) How old are they?

We lost my Mom 3 years ago, and my Pop recently found somebody to keep him company, active, and happy.

As an individual gradually approaching maturity, yeah, I find it's kinda awkward... but that doesn't matter, cuz as long as she's making him happy, it's all fine in my book!

Best wishes yours find a similar wisdom, and recognition of a more suitable holiday spirit.

PS: Sorry not to've dropped by for a while- the job's been riding me like a rented mule. If I don't get the opportunity, have a most excellent Christmas!

Keep the faith

Been a while since they last let me out into polite society. Resurfacing, catching a breath, & catching up.



And while I got my Broad-Brimmed Pimping Hat on, could I cajole all of y'all to Comment on, Alone In A Cloud? It's probably the best thing that I've written!

fantasia Welcome here! That is a very powerful statement, and one that I will keep in mind in the future. I'm glad to hear that it worked out for you already. It is amazing how much we can change our situation by standing up for ourselves. But at times that can be such a difficult thing to do. Thank you for sharing this with me. Hugs back atcha!

Mr.P. I am sorry to hear that, my friend. Sadly, it is something we all must face some day. I respect you for the way you are handling that situation. I treat my Grandmother's new husband the same way, even though others do not.

1. She has never allowed any direct line of communication between myself and her kids. So I have no way of knowing. But things were a bit akward at Thanksgiving, so........could be.

2. I damn well hope so.

3. Old enough to know better.

Any time you can find for me is a good time! Giddy-Up!
