Anya ,'Showtime'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Robin, my problem is that my mother always assumes I already know. It's not that she's trying to keep such things from me, it's that she tells everyone else, then THINKS she's told me.
It's really annoying.
The not-finding-out about aunthood thing, mind, was in fact family drama and my mother being childish.
I often rat out my siblings to my mother. She always knows that something is up, so I fill in the blanks.
As a result, I tend to tell them things a bit sparingly. She's worst case, and I'm all "sure, whatever."
Speaking of, how did your MRI turn out for something that might be nothing, or might be serious?
The family doesn't so much leave me out of the loop on purpose. They forget to tell me stuff. I do live away from them and hate the phone, but I email them all the time so it's not like they don't have an opportunity to tell me stuff.

Fuck, thanks for reminding me -- I don't have the results. I need to re-pester all the doctors concerned. I'll call now, instead of hurling evil thoughts over my cube wall at the lip-smacker.
In LJ, if you friended someone and they never friended you back, it's a pretty safe bet that they could give a shit, yes?
Aimee, or they forgot that they hadn't friended you already? (this is the sort of thing I would do... "dur, I could have sworn I did that")
Nah, pretty sure they just don't want to read my journal.
Which, fine. I'm pretty boring.
Just kinda pings my EVERYONE MUST LIKE ME button.
What it definitely means is that they don't read you on their /friends page. I read half as many again journals that are not on my friendslist, so it depends on them in specific, and how they use the system.
Yeah, forgetting to tell is a whole 'nother thing. I know with stuff like pregnancy or biopsies or whatever, some folks can want to keep things close to the chest until they know what is happening and prepare themselves. I can understand not having the resources to deal with other folks, even other folks' good wishes at a time like that, so I try not to let my own desire to know EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYONE make me too needy.
ita, as to your folks not telling you when you lived in the same freaking house, that's just craxy.
