[QUOTE="Star*, post: 143601, member: 4964"] HI all - I thought maybe I was 'over-reacting' to this scenario. When I question what I do /say I share with DF and/or bring it here to share with you all. Let me set up the players - Dude, Dudes friend living in foster care 2 hours away, TFP, ME. So it's 8:00 PM - Dude calls. Says he has called all the people involved to set up a day-date with his friend. They are going to the movies, with friends pregnant girlfriend, and her sister. The caseworker got called, the foster parents are okay I just need you to say OK Mom. Well - ok. Dude then tells me he will be at my house at 7:00-7:30 AM (So there goes Wynters Grace telling me to sleep in) okay - deal with it - clean home earlier - etc. I get up at 6:30 - I make coffee, pot some plants - do a load or two of laundry = and look it's nearly 8:00AM. NO call, no Dude. It is raining - but still - no call. At 9:15 the friend calls - it's raining he just woke up would I relay this message he's late. Okay - then starts with well then tell him this and that - I said No.....you tell him. These were YOU GUYS' plans NOT mine and DF and I already rearranged our day for this - Not happy. He says "Well I called." hangs up. 11:45 Dude calls - No hello, good morning - asks if friend is there. I am PEEVED. I calmly said "Where were you at 7:00 I thought you were coming here." (sleepily says - sleeping) and I said - "It was nice of you to ask to come here, have me rearrange our day to make sure you could meet your friend at our home and never call." - I got (MAAMMA don't start, please) and that was it. Don't START?? ARGH. So I hung up from him telling him his friend did call - and I dont' appreciate getting drug into the middle of THEIR plans - I HAD PLANS I HAVE A LIFE - and I rearranged it to be nice - and never even got a phone call. Dude thinks I am over reacting. When the friend gets here I plan on telling them both - that from NOW ON - should THEY make plans don't bother using my house as a meeting spot. Dude does not live here, he didn't come Home TODAY to see me - he was coming here to save his buddy gas money because he lives 5 miles farther out than we do. And DF's question - "Well I hope he has gas money to take you HOME." (long silent pause) then you hear that teenage exhale - "Because WE are not giving you a ride back." (longer pause) and then - FINE. WHATEVER. I'm so over this all......I did not yell, I just stated facts and STILL I'm treated like a 3rd world country. :nono::grrr: \\ [/QUOTE]
