The Organ Recital
Mercifully, SD62 cancelled her Christmas party last night due to her illness. I'm sorry anybody is sick (DS and wife are sick, too) but the relief was apparent in everyone I called about it.
SD62 called today. There was a 30-minute recital of all her ills, what the Dr said, what the hospital said, about all her ailments. in between, she interjected some non-medical problems she's having.
I hate to feel so insensitive to suffering but talking with her is so draining. Just a rant, sigh.....

Attention-seeking. It IS
Attention-seeking. It IS draining. Like Little Idiot's fishing for compliments.... it sucks your energy
I don't know how you do it!
LI "Does this new mascara make my eyelashes look too thin??!!"
It's Always So Dramatic
And it is sickening. While I get limited info these days on DHs kids, some does come through. Always exagerated. Last one was his son's GF....and how hard she had to work managing a daycare. Whatever, DH. I managed an entire office of people, flew to different locations training people, did billing from our locations across the country when they were behind, etc etc etc. All the while, maintained my home, took PROPER care of my kids and got them to all events AND paid my bills. Puh-lease.
Like Almost said, it's just attention seeking behaviors and way too many of our DHs encourage this BS.
Nobody takes her calls
Nobody takes her calls and she doesn't retain friends. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks, "Oh, no" when I see she's calling. She's such a downer.
Fortunately, her oldest daughter responded this time, helped her clean up, urged her to cancel her party, tried to get her to eat, etc.
AMEN!

Did she bother to ask how you
Did she bother to ask how you or her father were doing?
Oh, ha ha ha
Are you kidding? She is hyper-focused on herself. The only reference to her dad was, ' "Was he mad I cancelled?". I didn't tell her he was relieved we didn't have to go.
The postscript is she called this morning. Was it How are you, Dad? Was it Merry Christmas, Dad? No, it was Can I borrow $60? He told her no.
It seems she didn't have the money to buy one of her grandsons a gift and would be seeing him today.
