So my SIL (brother’s wife) was supposed to come to girls night with me and my other SIL (husbands sister) on Saturday. Well of course she cancelled. Always something more important than me. And when I brought that up to her she got mad at me, saying it’s not her fault blah blah she’s a working mom her and my brother don’t have time etc etc. but they had time to go to her moms house every weekend this summer, seems like they just don’t have time for me. My son has seen his cousin maybe six or eight times since she was born in Jan of 2018. That’s probably the maximum amount of times I’ve seen them too. She acts like I dont understand what it’s like to be a working mom in a tough job with a family to take care of.

I’m over it. I think I just have to practice radical acceptance that I will never be close to them again. It’s sucks because we all used to be best friends. I don’t know. I get their daughter is the focus of their lives now. I’m just sad that I’ll never get my best friends back.

Other than that I’m ok. Just learned today though that one of the other English teachers is leaving so I will now have 8 students in my class 5th period with no para. 5th period is a complete **** show anyway so now I have no hope of ever getting anything done. I’m going to have to get creative about how I grade them because I know I’ll never get them to listen to me long enough to do anything useful. Sigh.
