I really love SkinnyHusband's siblings. I think of them like they're my own. My sister in laws and brother in law make me laugh. One of the best things we do is we have sibling night. BeatuifulSister's boyfriend also comes cause he will be married in before you know it. When the siblings are all together, it's fantastic. The moment MotherDearest shows up, it gets more stressful. Sometimes it turns out fine. Sometimes, it does not.
We've been asking brother in law to host for a while. He finally decided to throw an event but he invited the whole family. I was planning on going and bringing a sweet treat. When I went to ShySister's game, MotherDearest was discussing the party at Brothers. Today, she called to tell us what we would be doing for the party. She suggested either a dessert or an appetizer. When SkinnyHusband said we would figure something out, she told us we would be bringing texmex dip.
I'm all for helping when asked. Brother In Law didn't ask for help. MotherDearest overtook the situation and it is no longer BrotherB's event. It's still at his house though.
I really wanted to go to his house. This is the first event I've been invited to there. I wanted to laugh and play with his doggie and the siblings. I'm going to miss out by not going.
But I'm aware that MotherDearest with cause me anxiety and stress with her high anxiety and stress.
The good news is I will be able to spend the afternoon with my family going home to see them for the first time in a while. I will be able to enjoy a calm evening with mine.
Sometimes you have to accept your weaknesses to find happiness. For me, I know I can't be around MotherDearest right now. One day, I might be able to admit to her how much she frustrates me but I know right now I will just eat instead. Here's to happiness and confidence!
(The good news is I talked to BeautifulSister and she's unable to go as well so it isn't a real sibling night!)
