Guest guest Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Got an e-mail from my nada today. Asked what I wanted to do with them on my birthday. They said they wanted to take me out to eat, but asking if I had any ideas. Now, this thought of what I am going to do when my bisrthday came around had started to creep up in my mind, but now I'm really unsure. How have any of you, if at all, handeled this. I'm not really that sure. I want to tell them that I don't want to do anything with them because I know it will end up in them asking about why i want talk to them and such. I really don't want to get caught in that kind of conversation. I think the reasons are clear, but my nada obviously can not see the problems before us. ANy suggestions?? thanks ahead of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 The truth is that I just tell nada that I'm going on vacation with DH - either to Hawaii or to southern CA. (which is true). It's easy for me to do b/c I live 3000 miles away from nada. I don't spend any holidays or special occasions or any time whatsoever with her. Haven't really for the past 14 years at least. Once she and Fada came to visit me when I was living in Boston. I've always felt guilty about this, but they were, of course, staying in a hotel and I only saw them for a couple of hours the whole week. Sometimes you have to do what is necessary to preserve your sanity. Hmmmm....I would make other plans....far far away. It's your birthday, so how you celebrate is up to you. I know it's a difficult dilemma. Hope it works out the way you want it to. Happy Birthday! Cheers, Lula --- mrprezster wrote: > Got an e-mail from my nada today.
