So.. our Valentines Day/Anniversary was not the best, we barely got to see each other.. but we did get to see each other...that's more than some people get! I decided that I was not going to cook on my anniversary.. mainly because we did not have much, which reminds me I need to go to the grocery store.lol. Obviously we also can not go out to eat on Valentines Day since its a hassle and everyone else is out and about. We decided that we were going to do the curbside to go at Applebees since this is the restaurant we would always go to when we went on dates, so it is our tradition! Ben went to go get it after he got off of work and he had to wait well over an hour that they said they would have it done..then it was the wrong order. So, they gave us our meal for free..and dessert (which I definitely do not need! lol!) It was definitely nice to get a free meal though!! We watched a movie and ate our dinner and it was a nice evening.

I don't even know where to begin with this next part. I feel like a broken record on this. I can not stand SOME of my in laws. Not all of them, there are some that are great! Benjamin and I are both so sick of it, but I feel like I don't have the backbone that I need to go off, until recently anyways. Sometimes I just keep my mouth shut, which I do not think is the best because it always leaves me angry about it. I can not stand to get phone calls from people and have them talk more about Alex than my own son. As most of you know, this is the situation that has us so angry to begin with..(well part of the situation). I do not care what my in laws think of this blog, because they know I feel this way. My mother in law definitely needs to get over it and quit using what I say as an excuse to never see or talk to Jason... nice try, but you have used that excuse too much Linda. I actually do not care what anyone has to say about this. It's bullshit.. plain and simple what Jason has gone through with this.. what Ben and I have gone through with this. Ben has made it clear that he does not want us to talk to a few people in his family and I respect that, because I feel the same way. They ruined what they had and this is not us overreacting one bit. I am so fed up with this crap that it is not even funny and I have had to re-deal with this the past two days.. (which is why I am so "freshly" mad,lol) JR needs to be the one to actually talk to his family and call his own son.. it's not Ben's job or my job. Alex is our NEPHEW.. not our son. Some people need to grow up and quit taking care of every ones responsibility because it is old. I am not the caretaker for anyone in that family anymore. My priority goes to Benjamin and Jason. I love my nephew so much...this is not in anyway negative towards him.. its negative towards people who lack to take care of him..or only care for him and don't even see Jason.
I WILL NOT put up with this crap once we are home. We are done. We will not deal with this any longer. My family has done amazing in picking up all of your slack when they do not even need to!
Okay.. rant over.. seriously,lol. I definitely feel better about that now though!
Oh sweetie I know the feeling and we have ranted to each other over it while Ben was away. The kids dads family is the same way. It hurts more than anything but there comes a point when enough is enough and excuses as my dad says are like assholes and everyone has one and they all stink lol. You guys do a wonderful job & Jason gets so much love from the family that matters. You really just need to let it go, avoid the calls, texts, messages, and what not because in all honesty it isn't worth getting upset or pissed over. I let it control me for far too long & although it still pisses me off that MY children don't get the presents or calls or anything like their cousins, but what can I do, but spoil them a little more myself lol :)
ReplyDeleteYou blog alot! But on another note, I think it's time you just stop letting it bother you, and stop stressing over it. I know you say you don't care, but clearly you do by blogging and talking about it so often. You know what's right, let them live in their own guilt.
ReplyDeleteApparently I wanted to get it off my chest and this is one of the reasons I started this blog.
ReplyDeleteYes, I need to not let it bug me. I clearly get this...but this is what works for me.
yay for a free meal!
ReplyDeleteyou have every right to be mad..we have those issues too.
if your child isnt important enough to want to be around or your nephew then they don't deserve them or you.
sometimes in-laws just suck..mine do too.
And..its your blog..blog away..rant all you want.
Yes blog away because a blog is a rant most of the time :) I <3 you.
