I'm here to spin the moral compass.
Okay, this is a vent and y'all just have to put up with me ranting and raving for a few minutes...
My relatives are working my last nerve. I have been trying since September 20th to get these people to set up a date for us to get together during the holidays. I let all of them pick the day, the time, the location, and even what we are having. BUT, there is always one relative who insists that we work around her schedule and she refuses to alter her work schedule to accommodate everyone else. If she has to work, she will not put in a vacation request, she will not go to anyone else's house, and she will NOT bend. Not even a little... Her current issue is that she has to work until 6 p.m. and that we cannot start until she is off work and there.
Me and a couple of others now refuse to go to her house. I'm allergic to cats and she has at least two of them. Her house is also not that clean so I tend to not want to eat anything while we are there unless it is something that someone else has brought and it is served on a paper plate (I won't even drink out of her cups or use her ice - we stop on the way in or bring our own bottled water). We have all agreed to have it a the relative's house closest to her - about 15 minutes away. I suggested that she take a few hours off of work (like she would for a dr. appt), but NOOOOOOO. She is now insisting that it would be unfair to start without her and she is neglecting the fact that most of us live 2 hours or more away and will have to drive home with small children after this dinner.
I've turned into a bitchy snob when it comes to dealing with her (excuse the language, but it's the only thing that fits), but I am honestly ready to tell these crazy people to plan whatever they want because I will be sitting at my house in Paulding County while they do whatever they want to do.
Halloween obviously is not over because I'm still riding my broomstick!!
