A grown woman — or man, for that matter! — who feels the need to run (or, in this case, drive their “leased luxury sport coupe”) home to their “mommy” whenever they and their spouse have a disagreement of any kind is not mature enough to be married ….. and it doesn’t matter if they’re 20, 30, 50 or even 70 years old!
Hi, rgcviper! :-)
summerdog: My condolences. I know how you feel because that’s where I have to go in order to visit my dad. :-(
lightenup: Hope you and your family arrived home safely andthat you’ll be able to join us here again soon when things are a lot more settled down! :-)
Hello and Happy Saturday, fellow Cathy fans. Hope everyone’s having a really great weekend so far! :-)
I discuss things with my other half and then maybe I’ll talk to my aunt, sister, or best friend. But usually I keep things to myself.
@summerdog and Mom I feel your pain. I lost my mother when I was only three and don’t even know exactly where she’s buried. My aunt just told me the cemetery last year – even though I’ve been asking ever since I was old enough. She says she’ll show me where but she hasn’t yet. I tried looking with my other half but we didn’t find her. There is no office that I can check with. My dad is also gone but at least I know where he is.
@lightenup I hope you and your family and the cats arrived home safely, hope to “see” you soon!
Hello and Happy Saturday to the rest of the Cathy fans that may stop by!
I usually read in the late evening. and don’t comment, because who will see? My mother has a form of dementia, so I can’t run to her. She knows I am her daughter and that I take care of her, and she is like a small child in that she can’t piece together the sound of boiling water being joined by the sizzle of vegetables being put in a hot wok and realize that yes, there’s a person behind her, but no, that person can’t refill her cup of ice (which isn’t empty) for 5 minutes.
But what you do after you leave the house matters. If you hang out with Dad (knowing her Mom), don’t make a thing over why you’re there, and join in their work or leisure activity and let your brain relax and catch up to see both sides of the issue, that’s one thing. If you have someone who can be impartial but supportive (“you aren’t wrong in this part, but I think he’s trying to say this and it’s a valid concern”), that can be a good thing.. Getting your side and only your side validated and built up won’t help. Unless your side is “my partner should not keep hitting me or the children/dependent adults” or “I am making a list of numbers my child can call the next time he/she thinks the person picking her up from practice is drunk on a day I’m not reachable”. The house Grandma went to with the three kids? Her in-law’s.
