Yes, we went away last year, just us and the kids. It was really nice.
The father disrespecting mothers on Mother's Day-- that's a good one. You have to wonder what's behind something like that, whacky.
I am trying to teach myself that people will not act like I think reasonable people are supposed to act, and they do not think well of me no matter what I do. Maybe this will help me stop being so overly sensitive about the hurt.
I've been concerned that I must have an emotional disorder because I get very upset by people's truly unreasonable behavior.
Anyway, it's been really nice chatting with the very reasonable and wise people here.
