So my bday is this weekend, and FI CLEARLY knows this...I wanted to go out with him and our friends. We can easily get a sitter for the lil guy. Well, today he comes home and tells me he is going to our friends' cottage in Maine to re-roof the house on Saturday. Now, FI can't drive right now (different story for a different day) and basically is coming home when his friend does. That could be Sunday afternoon, it could be Monday at 11pm....No one knows. So he says, "You can come up there". Great. I get to sit in a cottage for 8 hours watching Spongebob and Sesame Street with my son while he works. Then I get to spend the remainder of the night watching my son while he plays cards and has fun. Now I adore my son, but really....who wants to spend Saturday night on their bday weekend watching cartoons? I am PISSED, but basically have no choice but to go. I either stay home, and sit in the house by myself allllllll night on Saturday, or I go and sit in someone else's house alllllllll night on Saturday. My friend's wife and SIL will be there, and they are my friends, but there's NOTHING to do up there. Oh, and the best part??? I get to sleep in a tent in the freezing cold in the front yard. AM I OVERREACTING?!?!?!?
