So my cousin claims that my grandfather is piiiiiiiiiiiiissssed off that he never got an 85th b-day party. Mind you we see my grandparents once a week or every other week and they've never said a word. Maybe because Dh and I went over there and brought him a "legal" cake (he's a diabetic and just had heart surgery and likes to eat things he's not allowed) sooooooooooooo now my cousin has decided that she's throwing him a b-day party. His birthday was in FREAKIN AUGUST!!! And when did she plan it for buuuuuuut the 14th of November....really?!?! So between that and DH having to do a bus trip the one thing I've looked forward to I can't even go to. I just wish people would do shiiiiiiiiiit when they were supposed to and then not assume everyone can just go because they feel guilty. My parents and DH and I were the only ones who went to see him for his b-day it's not my fault she couldn't get off her arse to go see him!!!! but now I'll have major guilt if I don't go.
People succccccck!!
Re: Angry I'm going to miss the GTG! grrrr (whining mentioned)
That does suck. You're right, she's trying to make up for her guilt. What an inconvenience to you though for the quick planning. I hope you at least have a good time there. FWIW, I'm missing the gtg for something great that I'm excited to do and it still irritates me that I can't meet everyone.
ETA: Oops, I just realized I posted on the 6+ board. I guess I clicked on the wrong link. ::Hopping back over the fence.:: Sorry
Well, if the 14th was going to be the only time you see him in a month or more, then I would say go to the bday party.
Buuuuut, since you see him every week, and you went over to his house and brough a cake for his (actual) bday, I wouldn't feel guilt over missing this one event.
I think over the age of 16, we should lose the ability to feel sorry for ourselves if no one throws us a birthday party.
GTG ahoy!
