Diappointed again!!!

Last week my mom told me she had an eye doctor appt for Thursday and asked if I would take her. No prob, I cancelled my work schedule so I could take her. Wed. night she called and said she was going to cancel because she wanted to do some mystery shops.

I couldn't get my hours back so that was lost money. She told me she was picking up my youngest and then my oldest at school Thurs to get pictures taken. I scheduled 2 1/2 hours of work Thurs because the kids were going to be gone.

Thurs morning she called and said she was going to pick up the kids at my house at 4:30 because she wanted to pick up my neice at school 2 1/2 hours I couldn't work again

Then she said we were going to do a yard sale at my house Friday. I can't do it alone because my 2 year old runs away fast. My mom didn't show so no yard sale here.

Friday night I was going to take the girls to Great WOlf lodge. The babys father said he was coming up Fri to visit. I cancelled our plans. He called 9:00 last night saying he was coming up but he'll be here today. We could go to the lodge tonight but again we are stuck here "in case" he shows up today

I'm so sick of people not following through. We should not be stuck at home in case they may follow through leaving us doing nothing

Stop making your plans around other people and you won't end up disappointed or feeling stuck...just some friendly advice.

People will only take advantage of you if you allow them to do it and it seems to me you may be one of those people it is easy to take advantage of. If your baby's father cannot be on time, then I guess he just doesn't get to visit with his baby. If your mother continually changes plans at the last minute, stop making plans with her and definitely don't change your work schedule to keep pace with her wants & needs. To thine ownself be true, start watching out for you & yours (meaning the people who live with you) and I am sure you will find yourself more relaxed and less disappointed when other people don't follow through. JMHO

^^^^i'll take that advice

The babys dad just called saying he won't be up. Big surprise.

It's never easy trying to do good things and helping out when others need it, or trying to work with others when it comes to scheduling stuff! to you for trying...........I would just encourage you to do what you can but not totally rearrange your life, and don't feel guilty or stressed when things don't work out.....you can only control what you do, not what anyone else does!!

Sorry this happened. It's very hard to depend on
other people. You are not their priority and that
includes some relatives.
