Sooo-anyway ss lives about an hour away. Dh lives about 2 hours away on an army base right now-almost 3 hours from ss. Anwho, i was going to ss's city last night anyway to do some shopping for my dd's bday and I so kindly offered to pick up ss if bm would meet me on the east side of town. I have not picked up ss since over a year ago when they same sort of situation occurred and it was a BAD experience. SS wasnt even there when I got there-I sat in bm's house for 30 minuts waiting for him and then he didnt speak to me the whole ride home-so even though I swore off it I figured I'd be generous-but I did not want to go to her house in order to prevent any sort of issue like last time.
Soo-dh calls bm and she agrees and dh told me-call me when you are almost ready to leave and I will call her and tell her exactly where to meet u. I said sure. Well guess what? I was never able to get back a hold of dh-I tried for 1 hour and 15 minutes-calling, texting-nothing no answer. I hung around town hoping to get ahold of him, but it never happeneded. So I went on home.
Soo-dh was pissy because I didn't get ss anyway. Evidently he forgot his phone at the army base-realized it about an hour out and turned around to get it! Let me say, I couldnt even call ss/bm as I dont even know the phone number-when I told dh that-that made him mad as well-he felt like I should know it-even though there's been no need for me to call bm for years and she has moved within the last few with a new number. Then he said i should have just drove across town. ugh! I reminded him that evidently neither ss nor bm was overly concerned either because while they may not know my cell (although they did at one time but they probably forgot)-they could have at least tried our home phone and my dd could have got a message to me. I figured since dh nor ss or bm cared enough to try and contact me that it wasnt aprticularly important so why should I worry about it?
Do you all think I should have drove and got him? It would have been a 20 minute drive and since she wasnt expecting me I am sure a wait for ss to get himself ready. Also keep in mind that the last time bm and I "spoke" (about 2 months ago) she yelled at me for ss being outside.
