Was It Me, Or Was It Her?
She is at it again.
Last week, she had promised our nieces that she will bring them to a bbq event tonight. This morning, my mother told me that she has called it off, because she thought the distance and timing were not appropriate, according to what my eldest sister related to my mother.
I was rather disturbed by the fact that she could actually plan out everything without considering the logistics. All this could be done so that she would not end up giving false promises to the girls. My mother and brother told me that if I so feel so strongly about the issue, I should let her know.
After some deliberation, I've decided to sms her how I feel, that I think she owe the girls and explanation when she call off the BBQ outing. That the girls were disappointed, and I am surprise that never consider the logistics when she made that promise.
And the reply came. "It's between them, their mother & me. It has nothing to do with you. U don't have to tell me what I shld or shldn't do."
So this is what family is about. I find it such a contradictory, recalling an article she forward about family.
The mother of the two girls later called me and asked me what did I tell her. She said that there's an misunderstanding, and that she (the mother) was the one who suggested that it be called off. I told the mother what she replied to me, and nearly cried when I read to her what she sms-ed me. But not to make things worse, I didn't go beyond Ok.
I mean, even if there was a misunderstanding.... She could have use better terms or explain the situation to me. Why must her words be so crude and piercing?
I am sad. I was going to blog about something wonderful today. But this... and the stormy rain today drenches everything.
