You are right Bug. You are not the one being unfair. You did a good job of expressing yourself and I am sure your Mom is trying to figure out a way to be fair to you.I would be upset if it happened to me! Let us know what happens.
ReplyDeleteYuck, I can see why you would feel frustrated. I turned 30 this year and my mother rescheduled MY family party so it would be more convenient for my brother's girlfriend without even asking me and I was really mad about it at first.
ReplyDeleteI think it's fair for you to feel frustrated and disappointed and sad, but it's also fair that your mom is trying to keep the commitment she made to the people in her program. I don't see any good solution for this since your mom doesn't have a superpower that lets her be two places at once. I hope you can figure out something that lets you have a nice time, though, and maybe you can have a special make-up party when school is over or something.
The bad part about growing up is having to do things you don't want to do and give up on things you do want, but that doesn't mean it ever becomes easy or fun. I know this is frustrating and disappointing and sad for your mom, too, and I hope you find a resolution!
So Bug, how do you feel about your mom's graduation interfering with your birthday? Is it bothering you a little bit?
ReplyDeleteHaving been a kid who grew up to be a mom I can understand both your viewpoints. On one hand, it's your birthday and birthdays are huge, as are sleepovers with friends. I think I liked sleepovers better than most kids because I had no brothers or sisters and I wasn't used to having someone to play with at night and giggle with after we were supposed to be asleep.
Now that I have a husband I get to do that all the time, but when I was a kid I looked forward to sleepovers more than almost anything else.
So yes, I completely understand how you felt about that.
On the other hand, you mom worked incredibly hard and her graduation is a very important event for her. It's the payoff for all her study and hard work and it gives her a chance to be happy and proud of herself. Moms spend about 98 percent of their time doing things for their kids and it's tremendously important for them to have an opportunity to do something just for them.
I hear the situation has been resolved and that's good but I think you were being just a little bit selfish. It wouldn't have been the end of the world if you postponed your party to another day.
