I am so very angry right now, that I have to get this out or it’s just going to eat me up! Usually Christmas Times goes pretty smoothly in our Family. This year however, I am not doing too well. My Sis and I decided to get my Dad a laptop from Christmas. He really needs one. He does have a desktop, but in the wintertime the pc is in a room upstairs that is not heated; with the laptop he can bring that anywhere and stay warm.
So we ordered one, sent the confirm email to him, he of course showed my Mom and she totally freaked! From what I ‘hear’, she is upset about some Union retirement argument that started at least 10 years ago! He was not supposed to get a laptop unless he contacted the Union. Well, for reasons I wont elaborate on (dying brother in Chicago) he was not able to contact the Union, so therefore, my Mom says he broke their deal and does not get a laptop.
My question is this: What the heck does this have to do with me and my sis getting him a laptop for a Christmas present?! She wont pay a cent for it, she will not use the laptop, it in fact, has nothing to do with her whatsoever ! ! !
So instead of me freakin’ out any more than I already have, I am going to ignore the entire thing (a trait that my Mom does ALL the time) and pretend it never happened.
Dad will get the laptop on Christmas Eve and Mom can not do one thing about it.
…and yes… if any of my family members read this, I am aware of the consequences that will be dealt to me by my Mother, bwah hah hah

What does a union have to do with having a laptop to begin with? All seems a little odd to me. I told Cyn I thought that was a VERY nice gift!

Sounds like it’s your mom’s issue, not yours. Sounds like your dad will enjoy the new laptop!

Thanks Julie, the strange part is that we never have Holiday Fights, this is the first one I can remember in a very very long time!
Thanks Tammy and I do feel better! I am not very good at holding things inside me, they need to come out
Lynne, you are right, it is my Moms issue. I just hope she can resolve it in time to save Christmas
Kim, loony is a very good word for my Mom. Dont get me wrong, I love her dearly, but some days…….
Thanks Ciara, I never thought she might be jealous…but it just could be. She is rather codependant like me, but I have it under control right now
LOL Loony… things seem to be working out now though. At least last I heard! The laptop should have shipped today I hope it gets here in time!
