Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Every time a theosophical discussion flares up, I think of this peanuts cartoon: [link]
And it has inspired a new tag.
Damn it. My cousin is wanting to get family together next weekend (1-2 days before I give birth) as my parents are coming into town next Friday. I'm sure I'm overreacting but I'm just not up for her family of 5 plus my aunt, uncle, and other cousin when I'm feeling crappy and would really just like to visit with my parents, who I never see. I tried to at least get myself out of it, but she was like, "We can bring food to you!" I don't want a house full of people! Plus if they do it at my house, they'll stay forever. I don't know how to gracefully deal with this. I have a feeling I'll just do it and be internally pissed off.
I'm sure I'm overreacting
Not overreacting. You're about to have a baby. Low key, low stress is important.
[and,you move this again and make me look crazy, I will come be a houseguest for 6 months and never clean up after myself!]
Your cousin is planning a party at your house without you expressly telling her you want her to do that?? Forget about to give birth, that would never be cool!!

Er, yeah - I'm not sure if there's a way to tactfully point out to her that "we can bring food to you!" is not really as helpful or polite as it may sound.

Right? I don't know what to do. We always have issues with this branch of the family. They are just clueless. My parents aren't even really interested in hanging with them (this is my Dad's sister - he is one of 7 siblings). I mean, they are here for me and the baby. This sucks. I already tried by saying they should make a plan with my parents and if I'm up for it, I'll join. Then she comes back with this bringing food to me. I think I need to just shut that down. If I'm not feeling well, I don't want a house full of people.

Bwahaha! Excellent.
Slings weren't really that Big when I had Em. If (God willing although I'm getting to the point where I'm gonna start begging for surrogate volunteers) we have another baby, I'm totally getting a sling.
