Lynne....ya poor thing...honestly you seem surrounded by unbelievable people. What a selfish lot?! Lady with the fuel...your brother...goodness! Me too, had that happen also....they asked...and I dont tell them the expensive stuff...that I will buy...I give them reasonable priced items...usually 10-12 dollars. How could we have gone wrong here?$%$#@@@!!!!!
You were right to walk away....I would have. Nonsence! And you are correct...they want kids.......oops! The whole money issue thingee is going to change...well ,only if he is willing at that time...otherwise it will hurt the whole family...him most.
Leave it be...see what he does...and just accept the fact that some people (including family) are just plain old selfish. Nothing you can do about it honey. Nothing.
By the by...I read one of the other topics a few days ago...and tried to respond. For some unknown reason after all the flippin typing (although I believed I loged in) it wouldnt let me submit. So I just skipped it. But I think it was about that playgroup...and how some of the moms who own homes look down on those who dont... like they are class bankrupt. This post I think came well before the fuel issue thing. So I missed some threads along the line. Not to mention...yes indeed. The day previous was another life lesson for me with regard to users.....redundant users....and I was wrapped around that pretty tight!LOL! Too, I didnt read correctly. ANYWAY the point hon is there are people everywhere who can just floor us. And these nutty moms with the attitude they have are out to lunch! I assrue you they are the ones who are truly bankrupt! When you begin to learn ones ways...if they give you the gut feeling of "what...excuse me....huh?" a few to many times...best to just gently move on. There are so many lovely people about....just takes time to find a couple. But in the mean time......just do your own thing. Dont tell to much and dont expect to much.......let time help you out there. I have learned this........not that I didnt know it before (im 44) but with my kids, for there sake I tend to take more risks so they can have some kids around. We live in the country.....so we have to make a better effort. But I assure you now four years later, I am catching on and getting to know the folks and their children at the school better.........and I am more on guard. Those of us who are home with our kids or at least one or two of them.....can find we are used in one way or another by moms who have kids in school full time...and none at home. We somehow can become their sitters while they blast off.. to usually some bs place like the doctor......(yup...true for me...once they think I forgot or dont realize I am standing behind them....the cat gets out of the bag)....jig is up!
Dont worry about these folks....give family a bit of extra patience.....but ya know...do as your gut tells you. They offered.....they asked......you do this, you do that....balance the scales hon. Just doing your best I know.
Best wishes Lynne
