so i got new furniture last week and sorted bits of the house didn’t i.. i posted a pic on instagram of the gym and my mum replied saying it looked good, so i sent pics of other furniture too. and she wants to come see it when it’s done.
then on sunday morning she asked if she should bring M’s bday presents to the cinema or wait til next weekend when we go for a meal.
i said she could bring them to the cinema or could come to ours for a bit after the cinema, thinking she’d come and see the house like she wanted to.
instead she just went “we’ll just park near you instead”
shit like this always pisses me off because they rarely come to our house and it’s always been like this. when we lived in salford, they’d often go to the trafford centre and not visit us, despite us being a 10min drive from it. and i barely saw them back then either, so it made me feel shit that they could be bothered driving all the way there, but cba driving an extra 10mins to see their daughter at uni.
and now it’s the same even though we live 20mins from them. they don’t often come round, it’s usually us going to them. but they often come to the town near us, which again is 10mins away. and not once have they ever messaged asking to pop round whilst they’re nearby?!
i just find it kinda rude and also hurtful. like yesterday after giving M the gifts, my mum said they best get back and make tea…. then her and my dad both commented on the fact they’re not even hungry… like exactly so you could have just come to ours for 30mins to actually spend time with us couldn’t you?! cos sitting in the cinema isn’t spending time together really cos you can’t exactly talk.
