[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 172643"] Nope, Abbey you are not alone. Really, though, how do you handle it when it's someone you don't know that well? I can easily use the excuse now that it hurts and it wouldn't be a stretch, but what about the rest of the time? It would be considered rude to not return the hug so then we just suffer through it and it's sooo uncomfortable. Isn't that just as rude on the other person's part then? Where's Miss Etiquette when you need her..... And as for girlfriend's mom, she's not too bad, but then she is. While easy child was gone, I invited girlfriend to go to a movie...figured it would give me time to get to know her since easy child monopolizes her when she's here - which isn't often by the way cause her mom always wants her at home. girlfriend's mom invited herself and her younger daughter (who is my daughter's age) which meant I had to take my daughter so the two could see an age appropriate movie, as opposed to the one we were seeing, and that was money I wasn't planning on spending. And she acted very hurt when I invited girlfriend to go with me and difficult child to pick up easy child from my mom's when he came home. We were going early (by 2 hours) so difficult child could do some things for my stepdad. And I invited girlfriend because I knew how anxious the two love-struck teens were to see each other. They've had my son over for dinner and out for picnics and I wasn't invited and never felt slighted or like I should have been invited. Do you see where this is going? Ugh. And girlfriend is very embarrassed by her mom's behavior so I try to be somewhat nonchalant about it because I don't want girlfriend to be uncomfortable. It's a good thing I like girlfriend so much. :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
