Oh sj, say it. Seriously, odds are they haven't even realized. Or maybe I just have an iron hide and wouldn't care if they never spoke to me again if they couldn't be bothered to accept my hospitality.
No, it's in-laws, so I'm just going to shut up. But there seem to be a lot of people in our lives (and TCG feels this way too so it's not just me being crazy) who expect us to go out of our way to accommodate them and their schedule, but cannot accommodate us in any way when the situation is reversed. Of course, we also have many wonderful people in our live who are not this way at all, for which I am grateful.
It may be time to reverse their treatment and expectations of you onto them. IJS. They'll continue as long as you let them, in my experience.
Sorry. You came to vent, and I'm giving unsolicited advice. But their behavior makes me angry on your behalf.
Thanks, Beverly. We are actually going to see them, just not at our home, which I didn't make clear. It just sort of makes me feel like a low priority in people's lives when these things happen.
Thanks for the job~ma. I would really love it is TCG worked a little closer to home (this job would cut about 15 minutes off his commute), and this job would be a step up for him career-wise.
Job ~ma for TCG! sj, it would be really really hard for me to keep my mouth shut. You're kind of a saint.
quester, that would freak me right the fuck out.
P.-C., your stories about you and P.G. are adorable!
Pix, ANTS FFS.
The most important thing happening in my life right now is the realization that my lovey ginger cat needs his sharp little talons trimmed. Ouch.
job~ma for TCG, and hairpats for Pix.
job~ma for TCG, hairpats for Pix. And no more creepy stuff for Quester.

I have gotten a LOT done today. I am TIRED. But I am going to yoga at 6 anyway. Please don't let me die.
Guys -- I am WORKING OUT!!! WTF?
Also, I'm very bendy!
So good, it got a double post! Woot for Santa Cruz. Sorry I missed y'all up at Chez PixDesigns. They are wonderful hosts!
Much Job~ma to TCG.
Maria, any word on your all day interview? Hope it all works out for the good.
Pix, you have a heart of gold. Hope the rescue pup wasn't too traumatized.
P-C, loving the stories. Gives me hope that I might be able to find a gal.
