My sister and her 3-year old son were planning on coming to visit us tomorrow. Then out of the blue R's sister said she was coming to stay tonight from Jersey with her 2 kids. I emailed my sister telling her just so she was prepared that other people would be at our house too. She told me that her son is shy around strangers and she didn't want him to cling to her all the time so they'll come next Saturday.
First of all, her in-laws have huge parties at their house every weekend and it seems her son never minded the strangers there. Second, I haven't seen my sister since June because even though she has the summers off she never had time to come for a visit then.
Does she not want to see R's family? Our families never get together because they live far away and we aren't really party people to bring everyone together. What is the problem?
I am really annoyed at this. I feel like so often people use their kids as an excuse to do things or not do things and I am sick of it. I never want to do this.
Lately R's thing is he wants to move across the country. He's a reformed hippie and desperately wants to quit his job and bum around with me. I feel like for him it's not exactly running away from our problems but getting some distance and going to a place where people aren't weird with us all the time. I told him we could talk about it after the baby comes because I can only handle one thing at a time. But the more these things happen the more I am ready to pick up and move to the coast of Oregon and open my little cafe/bakery.
