Buddy was on the phone with his grandmother, who had called (which no one in his famiyl EVER does) to ask if her partner could crash with us one night while she's here for training. Sure, no big.
Just as he's about to get off the phone, though, she says something, which he repeats:
"Do we have any extra invitations? Umm... why?"
And I'm shaking my head like, no, no, it's too late, we do not have any more.
Except? It wasn't that she wanted to invite more people.
Buddy's MOM - who lives with his grandmother and her partner - did not get an invitation. They live in the same house, and his grandmother & partner got an invite, while his mom (and half sister and brother) got nothing.
His grandmother relays the message FOR his mom, "You know, even though she isn't coming, she still would like to have an invitation..."
I SENT ONE. I SWEAR I sent one. I sent them all out on the same day. Of all the stupid invitations to get lost, it WOULD have to be that one.
Unless it shows up sometime soon, his mom is NEVER going to believe I didn't deliberately do it. She's always called herself the "black sheep" of the family, claims no one likes her, and a whole bunch of other stuff that is not suitable to get into here.
She's never going to believe I just didn't send an invite because I don't like her.
Of course, complicating matters is the fact that I DON'T like her, but that's based on Buddy's past and the way she currently treats (completely ignores) him, not the two times I've ever met her and the 6 words she's ever said to me.
But I DID send that stupid invitation and now this is going to be held over my head FOREVER uughhhhh.
No need for advice, as his mother will refuse to allow this to be solved or assuaged in any way, just wanted to say... OF COURSE THAT WAS THE INVITATION THAT GOT LOST.
On bed rest since Groundhog's Day and every day since has been exactly the same.
