i hate that...
...when f. invited you to watch him conduct the school band for one song in the winter concert, you claimed that you live too far away.
...when f. returned moments later with the great idea to have me video tape him conducting the band for you to see, that your response was to tell him that "sometimes those video things just don't turn out."
...you shamelessly cant be bothered to remember where your own son works or what it is that he does.
...you found something to complain about in our new house.
...for the last 8 years you felt the need to mention just how tiny our house was in each and every christmas letter you wrote.
...instead of actually interacting with them, you choose to take pictures of your grandchildren from the other side of the child safety gate.
...you spend nearly your entire visit with your head immersed in either a newspaper article or a cheap romance novel.
...when f. asks you to play a game with him you say no.
...you only bought one gift for m&k to share just because they are twins.
...you still cant tell m & k apart.
...you talk over f. when he is trying to tell you something important.
...my husband's heart cant help but be hardened a little bit after each one of your visits.

I'm so sad about that N - for you and J, and for your beautiful kids. They (the subject people) are missing out on a wonderful family and a life that could be so enriched by all of you...they certainly don't know what they are missing. And I'm sorry that you even have to deal with that - it shouldn't be that way. Hugs.
