Sometimes it’s easier to just pretend.

Thanksgiving ended up being better after we left for my sister-in-law’s mom’s house, does that make sense? haha. Friday, another story. To sum it up, our debit card number got stolen. They wiped out our entire bank account, due to the fact that we had just transferred money over so that the mortgage and other bills would get paid. ALL of it was gone. The bank was giving us the run around, but it looks as if we will get all of our money back tomorrow. Someone had a nice Black Friday shopping spree at Best Buy and Walmart. *le sigh* They haven’t caught who it was, but hopefully they will soon! The past week has been full of many tears, stomach aches, headaches, and stress. Looks like it will hopefully turn out for the best.

Now on to my next issue: Rob’s parents. AGAIN. I need some advice, from anyone who may be reading this. Rob’s birthday was the 23rd, as you may have read. Rob gets a call from his brother to say Happy Birthday, and then turns around to tell him that his parents put a card in our mailbox. Number one, we never told them where we live, but his dad is a cop in the town, so I guess they could have found out. Number two, I was up ALL night and we were home ALL day, so when did they put it in there? Of course, as usual, after they were mentioned, Rob got in a pissy mood. He headed up to the shower, yelling at me the entire way up for God knows what, and was in the bathroom for over an hour. I’m SICK of it. I’m sick of the fact that they won’t go away. That they think that what they did with our wedding was okay, because there is NOTHING that would have justified them not coming to our wedding. Yet, they won’t go away. They keep re-appearing, making Rob more upset every time. Then every time, he takes it out on me. I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE. I told him that if he really wants things done with them, that he needs to tell them. Whether he calls and leaves a message on the answering machine, or writes a letter and sticks it in their mailbox, he has to do SOMETHING. Because obviously they don’t get the hint. And it’s not fair to him, or me. He opened the card and it was signed, xoxo love always mom and dad. ARE YOU KIDDING ME PEOPLE?! If you loved your son so much, you’d show up at his wedding, or maybe that’s just what normal people do? Anyways, it’s been a week and still Rob has done nothing. I didn’t want to bug him because then he gets crabby.. but I can promise you there will be a card or present in our mailbox Christmas Day if he does nothing, and then the cycle will repeat itself. I’m about to force him to either chose to write the letter or deal with the fact that they’re not going away and quit being a jerk to me. Am I wrong to want this? I’m at my wits end!
