Extended Family

[Guest guest]

Hi

I am just wondering if anyone has a family like line. My mum and dad have given

me all the love and support through out the years but when it come to my sisters

and neice well thats a total different story. Take for instance a couple of

weeks ago, my sisters grandaughter was getting christened, she is 11 months old,

I was up for most of the night with my son (who is four)so i decided the next

morning thati was too tired to atted and my son was not in the best of mood as

now he wanted to sleep and for fear of having another bad night i wouldn't let

him. The thing is there was three oter families having their children christened

aswell and i just knew that my son and I wouldnt enjoy it and he would probably

scream the place down. Then the after party was at a social club with food, my

son being on a strict GF/CF organic free range diet would not be able to eat the

food and i would spend the whole time chasing him making sure he didn't steal

the food. Now it was Sunday the day before i go back to work and i was exhausted

so i chose to stay at home, well as far as my sisters are concerned that was not

good enough and were moaning about me behind my back to my parents, these so

called sisters of mine have never looked after my son for a second,never ring me

up or pop round to see if Harry and i are well, they put on their supid family

hats on at Christmas and family events and that is it and instead of trying to

understand they stand in judgement, the only thing my sister had to say on the

matter was that her 11month old grandaughter (whose christening it was) had been

up all the night before and so had her mum but they managed to get there - well

it was their christening not my sons and the mother doesnt work and lives at

home with her mum who probably gives her some help plus at 11 months old you

still expect to be woken up - i just get fed up with having to justify myself. I

have now decided that i do not want to assosiate with family members who show no

support and judge me, as they haven't walked in my shoes they have no clue.

Sorry to rant, but i am so annoyed.
