I hate holidays - vent

As if Father's Day isn't hard enough it sucks to try and split my time between my parents and DH's.  My mother now will not speak to me because I teased her about not being able to make up her mind about where to eat. 

She called me in the middle of my work day to ask me to send her links to the restaurants near my house so I can work in both dads with ease.  I really appreciated this.  So I take a freaking hour hyperlinking restaurants of all kinds of cuisine in an email.  Her reply is maybe we can go to this place in a different city (an hour away)...WTH?

I said I was fine with that but why in the world did she call me to ask me to stop in the middle of the workday to send her suggestions if she already knew what she wanted.  I teased her by saying she's so predictable because she always does this but I also said it's so endearing and I love her.

She freaked and said it was just an idea and not to "upset myself".  Then screamed at me that I have no idea what it is like to be in her shoes. 

She has asked to be out of the loop about our TTC situation because she's a member of the "just relax" camp.

I said

For the record, I don?t think anyone has any idea what it?s like to be in ANYONE?S shoes?. The best you can do is relate, be understanding, and be supportive.  Now is not the time for you to decide to be pissed at me for nothing?. Seeing as how you have no idea what it?s like to be in my shoes either and frankly I wouldn?t want anyone to know what it?s like to be in my shoes.

Everyone is dealing with something.  I meant no harm? please don?t upset yourself?.

 

Now we're fighting....and I'm in tears.  This sucks... vent over.
