OVERREACTING FOR SURE

I am going to pick up my grandson soon. I don’t know why but I really wish I wasn’t.
I wrote my son and his girlfriend that I was picking him up. So my son’s girlfriend writes back that my grandson was not the only one asking about their BUBBY day and now they will have to think up a good excuse why I am picking the other one up and not them.  Give me a break. I don’t believe it for a minute and even if it’s true she could just mention to me that they were asking. Of course I didn’t answer what I would have liked to and just told her that of course that I would take them too.
I guess that’s why I am so fed up with people. I have no patience for people. I am now sorry that I am planning to go to NY with a friend. I don’t know whatever possessed me to tell her she could come to NY with me. I have no patience to make plans with her, to compromise etc. I wish I had the courage to tell her I changed my mind.
Anyhow I better get ready to leave. I am not looking forward to spending time with my grandson. Am I a bitch or what????????
Hubby is at the doctor about his thumb. They should take off his cast. If all is well we will go to Toronto tomorrow for a few days.
Bye for now. Thanks for reading.

You don’t have to do things you don’t want to do, just to please other people. The only person I like going places with is Joe. I like having friends, but I don’t wanna GO anywhere with them. Tell the other woman that you are sorry but you have made other plans. Make up a story if you’d rather do that than say “I really don’t want to go with you.” Who cares? She’ll live! It’s not like it’s going to devastate her; of course it won’t. hugs, Nicky

Not really sure why you would not want to be with your grandson but as far the other woman you can just make up an excuse not to go with her, say something else came up.

Maybe it will help to think about what *they* want, and see it as a mission of yours. You are giving your time and love to them – is it a gift? Or is it something that you are doing for yourself? Of course if there’s no pleasure in it at all for you, it would be totally a sacrificial gift, and you’d have to decide if you’re willing.

Are the others asking about you the gf’s children? I see no reason why you need to take them out. And I agree with your other noters about telling your friend a story to get out of the trip with her.

It sounds like you need a break from the grandchildren for right now. You know we all need some alone time. If you do just tell them so. It is ok. We all need to take breaks from the norm, we all need time to ourselves. Love,

I’m sorry about this. It will be good to go to FL and get away from all this for the winter! — Maybe next spring you can figure out something else that doesn’t involve having to take them for all that time. I don’t know what — but SOMETHING!

patience is something only you can develop yourself, if you have the will to. It starts with simply accepting people as they are, warts and all…..and seeking out the good in them. Life is too short for not getting along and enjoying each other…especially our family. hugs P

you’re not a b*tch, you’re human! I agree with Pooh Bear that maybe you just need a break for awhile… we definitely do need time to ourselves once in awhile.

Do what you want, life is short. 😮

There is no excuse necessary. Just tell her you are only taking one today orthe day you plan to go to get your grandson. age rules lol you can handle on ly one this week. That is a good way to say it Say you want to give him your FULL attention because you do not get to see him that much
