This might not be suited for General, I don't know where to post but I am sooo frustrated right now that I have to post it.

My Grandma's 83rd birthday is Oct 1. So my dad emails me and asks if I can come to lunch on Monday for her birthday, not just the 3 of us, but with his girlfriend and girlfriend's mom.

I would have to post a very long post to give history about those 2 women, but I'll leave it that my grandma and I aren't quite comfortable with them.

So he asks if I can meet them at this salad buffet. I say sure but is that were Grandma wants to go. He said she said anywhere is fine, but I worry about her being able to handle a buffet. With just us, it would be fine, but if she struggles around those two women it will be embarassing for her.

Then my dad says "well my girlfriend's mom is selective in where she eats, so if its not ok with Grandma, I'll have to get back to them." !!!!!!!! Hello, who's birthday is it???? Grandmas!!!!! Thats what I told him, that its Grandma's birthday, not this other woman's. What I really wanted to say was "why can't it just be the 3 of us for Grandma's birthday."

Arrrrrggggggg I see Grandma in a bit and we'll talk about it. There's probably not enough history included in this post to explain just why I'm soooo freakin aggravated.

Thanks for letting me vent.
