gonna rant sorry..
my sister texts me and asks when we are going down to my home town for the baby shower ( me and my sister live 2 hours away from our home town) I tell her probably Friday but maybe Saturday. she tells me can I ride up with you if you go on Saturday, because her husband has to work. I say yea of course but you can still go if we go up Friday, she tells me I can't go up Friday because I want to spend time with chris (her husband). at that point I lost my shit. it's my fucking baby shower something that will only happen once with this pregnancy, for you to miss it because you want to spend time with your husband are you fucking kidding me! let me also point out she never leaves her husbands side! I ask her want to go to dinner? I can't chris isn't here yet. she missed my nieces first birthday because her husband didn't want to drive. she's missed my cousins wedding because chris wanted to spend time with his friends. she was supposed to be there for the ultrasound when we found out the gender but I didn't want chris there so she didn't go. so than she calls my mom if tiffany goes Friday can you come get me Saturday my mom has to work so she says no you'll have to go up with them Friday or not at all. my sister says well I guess I won't go because we're going bowling Friday with friends... I swear to the Lord if she was here in person her face would be in the wall. idk I might be being dramatic but pregnancy is something you want to share with people your close to. when we were young we spent day and night together we were seriously best friends but since she got married she's pushed everyone away but his family. I'm just over it like I'd understand if she was two hours away and tried everything to get there but couldn't I'd understand but she has away up she just doesn't want to go so she's gonna make excuses.
@mrsbrazeal, she needs to get her head out of her husbands ass, and show some compassion for HER family. I know what you're going through my sister is exactly the same way. I'm sorry she's got to be that way
@mrsbrazeal, That doesn't make it ok. Hormones are one thing but geez, it is one day and she should be there!!! ugh. "Chris" can probably survive one day.
@tayek, thank you, if I wasn't all hormonal I'd be okay and this wouldn't bug me but you know the joy of pregnancy everything gets to you
@mrsbrazeal, I said I was sorry she did that. I hate she is giving you stress about your day but I'm sending every hug and good vibe I can. It hurts my heart to see a mommy sad.
@hart.momma, I did. and she said well I guess I can change my plans but let me talk to Chris first. so than she said chris can only go bowling Friday so if you go Friday I won't make it I really hope you go up Saturday. my baby shower is Saturday I don't want to drive in a car for 2 hours than set everything up for the baby shower than do the baby shower than pick everything up and than drive 2 hours back home (my husband works sunday) all in one day. I'll be almost 36 weeks by that point. she's trying to make me feel bad so I won't go till Saturday
@amaperalta03, that is true, it just hurts because she is my sister and she's the one person besides my mom and husband I want to experience this with. she was supposed to be in the room and the godmother but after everything she's done I just don't want the added stress and because I'm so angry at her it might be a good thing she doesn't go.
I would text her & tell her how important it is for you to have her by your side. See if maybe she can work bowling around when you will be leaving.
@tayek, I'm not expecting her or anyone to stop what they are doing for me and to be the center of attention but it's the fact that her reasons are bowling and her husband. I'd understand if it was work or she was sick or something came up that she couldn't go but because she's bowling and than wants to spend time with her husband (because she doesn't want to leave his side for longer than a hour because she's scared he'll cheat) and also because of all the other things she's done( I said it my previous comment) and also the fact we were best friends and if it was her baby shower even if I just gave birth or was dying I'd do everything I possibly could to make it. and she can make it she just doesn't want to leave her husband alone. please don't take this as rude I'm not trying to be at all I swear. I get what you mean by some moms expect for everyone to stop what they are doing but that's not me at all I just don't like when people make lame ass accuses when they can be straight up with me you know
At the end of the day it's her loss not yours. If she really wanted to go shed just go
@shylamarie, we were best friends growing up than she did a complete 180. she had a miscarriage a few months before I got pregnant and I was there for her the whole time. when I found out I was I was so excited I told her before my husband and she tells me it's faint your probably having a miscarriage. than when we found out I was 6 weeks and got the first ultrasound she tells me that day she's gonna hit me in the stomach she's told me that 6 times my whole pregnancy the last time she said it I went off on her and didn't talk to her for about 5 months, than she said sorry and everything was great with her. but because I didn't make her the godmother now she's pulling this shit and I'm just over it I don't know why I keep letting her back in my life
@belly1996, it's so annoying like she can get off her husbands nuts for two days, but she's to scared to because she thinks he'll cheat on her. than why the fuck are you with him? it would be one thing if she could go up Friday because she had a drs appointment or because her husband has to work and she needs to be home with the dogs but for bowling are you kidding me you can do that next weekend
On one hand, she's not being very nice. On the other, we mommies have to accept that our babies won't stop the world for everyone. I'm really sorry she's not honoring her commitment. This makes me sad and it isn't even my party. 😔
I'm so sorry. That is so selfish of her. One, two days out of her life is nothing to ask.
I get it and no your not being dramatic. Her husband will be there when she gets back and like you said this is the only time you'll have a baby shower for your baby, I could see if she really had no way to make it but she's putting other things before this. Priorities I always say.
@mrsbrazeal, don't change your plans for her. If she wants to go she'll figure it out. I'm so sorry Hun. You don't deserve that.
