Silent and invisible

[Mrspjsmom]

It has been a really bad week. I feel like I'm not a part of my own family. My husband and children make plans then tell me at the last minute. They expect me to participate at 100% even when I am in pain. Somewhere there is a communication breakdown and they always blame me. Yep it's me because I am silent, invisible and don't listen. I'm tired of trying and getting nowhere. So I'll spend the weekend with the dog and cat. At least they listen. Rant over.

This would irk me too. They are leaving you alone all weekend? 😨

My husband gives me too much notice in advance on plans. I have to go out in public to run two errands, I’d rather sit with you and your dog and cat and keep you company. 💜🌺

I'm not alone but my husband is working all weekend so during the day he's sleeping. He does the same thing. When we take a vacation everything is all planned out months ahead of time. Years ago we went to Disney world with my sister and her family. We all had typed itineraries. Which park on which day and reservations for dinner. Drove me nuts!

I've been through that with family. Never the full itinerary in writing! But I just felt like my family was herded like cattle.

Finally spoke up and said no more. Didn't go over well. ( in laws) I didn't care. I wanted to enjoy my vacation not have someone else tell me what to do.

Sorry this is happening to you. Maybe you can turn it around and have a awesome, peaceful dog/cat weekend!

I prefer animals over people. Do something you enjoy.
