So sorry, I have so much on my plate right now that I don't know where to start haha.

I did talk to my father because he called me like 50 billion times on Monday. I finally answered and I shouldn't have but I was sick of the phone ringing. I wish I had taken some time and called them myself,  but that's how it went. Dad was like "I didn't plan this trip, your mother did". Okay, whatever. Then he tried to tell me that he didn't tell me because "I am too hard to reach". Um, I don't answer the phone during the day very much because I am busy with a 13 month old! Email me for goodness sake!!! Anyway, he acted like I should calm down about it and call my mother in a few days - very patronizing. He said "we'll get through this". UGH. At least they're off my back.

Oh, and the thing they wanted to plan? For me to get my brother an ice cream cake. Oh for goodness sake can they not do that themselves???? I live in Ohio, they're at least closer, and how hard is it to find a Baskin Robbins and order a cake?

Thanks for listening to my vent and for asking about me I am still mad but at least they are off my back for a few days, I hope. But now I am sure my mother is going to be mad that I'm mad. It's never-ending with my family, I swear.

Ugh, you would think they'd be more understanding of the amount ish you have to do right now!  A) Trying to pack up one residence to move several states away.   While pregnant and keeping a 13 month old happy and busy!

I'm glad you were able to get that initial conversation out of the way.  Will your in laws be able to buffer some of the stress your family creates?

Understanding does not describe my parents at all, unfortunately. They are old and set in their ways AND they just plain don't care as long as they get their way. It really sucks to deal with them.

Yes, my in laws are great about buffering issues. They really are, as is DH. BUT, at the same time, MIL thinks that she can "save" my relationship with my parents, which just isn't possible. She thinks she can "get through" to my alky mother. Good luck.
