My mom canceled Thanksgiving! I am trying not to chortle with glee. I had originally suggested that she invite my boyfriend and his mother since it didn't make sense to have two meals, one with three people and one with two. I thought this would be kind of a buffer. Well last night she was ON like full on 1000% drama queen. She almost started crying during dinner because my dad mentioned someone's stepson got married and there were photos of it on facebook and she went into "it must be nice to have a family!" Then she said "I miss my family so much."
I asked her if that was true, why did she refuse to go to her sister's 50th anniversary party? Something the entire extended family except mine was at - I almost went by myself but did not because I had prior plans. (Mom didn't tell me until just a few weeks before that my Aunt had invited me through her months prior.) I offered to drive her the six hours and to be a buffer since she was saying she couldn't go because there would be too many people she didn't know there and she hates strangers. Even though I'm not outgoing I said I would go and speak to people and be outgoing for her and she still refused. Now she's mad about those comments but I think I'd really rather have Thanksgiving alone anyway!
