Re: Need to vent..
ufff what a turbulent week so far!!! mum keeps calling and trying to make me feel sorry for her and dad…sometimes she succeeds…I was the key part in the rishta process so no wonder they try to make me feel bad for my efforts…my sister is happily married but the rest of the family is just depressed and feeling sorry for itself for the social boycott they think they are being part of
on one hand I have my family’s dramas and issues and on the other hand I have my in-laws issues…MIL was in town but didnt want to stay at our place for Eid celebration. it was my baby’s first Eid ul Adha and MIL had promised to take us out for Eid dinner. FIL brought her over the day before Eid and she cancelled the programme. We didnt have much groceries to prepare a proper Eid meal but she didnt care that she was cancelling it last moment. I did tell her that she should have let us know in advance and that I have a baby to take care of i addition to prepare a lastminute Eid meal…but there was absolutely no response and she started comparing my lack of sleep with hers…and behaved really weird…from that day till the day after Eid she was making constant drama without any reason…she started yelling at FIL and hubby and it all ended up in a big fight resulting in her leaving the town all by herself while FIL is staying with us…
I litereally collapsed after this. couldnt get up from the bed. feeling tired all the time and my mood is just not right…on top of that mum keeps calling and complaining…I feel like I am gonna explode!!!
We live in a small appartment and FIL is staying with us. love the way he supports me with household work and babysitting but I miss my space and most of all miss going out for my long walks with toddler all alone…he accompanies me everywhere which means I have no space home or outside unless when I breastfeed, nap or am in the bathroom…feels a bit exhasting on top of my all other emotions.
FIL is really great and I dont want to hurt his feelings. but any idea on how I say that I need to go out alone? or is it too rude yet and maybe I should wait some more days?
If your sister is happy, why can’t you just ignore the drama? Its too much to ask for your family to ignore it…but surely you can ignore it as well right?
Did your MIL give a reason WHY she cancelled?
How long is your FIL staying with you?
