I wish I had *normal* parents. Instead I have these strange people that apparently I'm related to.
I was meant to meet them for dinner tonight at a local club to celebrate my mother's birthday tomorrow. We were meant to meet at 6. So I turn up at three minutes past six, and wait. And wait. And wait. Half past six comes round and I get this phone call from a mystery mobile. It's my mother. They've been at the club waiting since quarter past five. So she comes down and I sign into the club. But as it turns out, they've not only been there for well over an hour, but they've also started their meal. This was too much for me. Who in their right mind starts a meal at a restaurant without all the guests, when they know they're coming? And then, rather than coming with me to order my meal, she just says "go get your meal, we're on table 42". OK well this was the last straw. I may have been talked into staying until then, but as it was, I felt like I'd been abandoned, and I certainly didn't want to share a meal with these people, I was too upset.
See, now any *normal* person would have called to let me know they'd arrived early at the club (I wasn't far away, I could have been there shortly afterwards). Any *normal* person would have come to meet me at the agreed time in the only place we've ever met before. Any *normal* person would have waited for their guests to arrive before going and ordering their meal.
I am so pissed off >:( Two hours of my life wasted. What a suck way to end the weekend. And a pity because generally the rest of it was great. Even saw me little brother's new house down the 'Gong.

That does suck! My parents have done things like that before too. *hugs* I hope that you cool down soon though, and resolve the issue soon!

thanks..
I'm not sure whether or not I should call though. I don't feel like I did anything wrong. What on earth would I say? Anyways, it's all too difficult, I'm off to bed.

Don't worry matey, you can't always change your parents, but you can go OS and live half a world away from them! *hugs*

Great idea! But a little too dramatic, don't you think?! I know I wouldn't call, but then, I'm the sort of person who would try to just let things like that blow over.
kazza
I'm feeling like should call.. it is her birthday and all.. and I've cooled down somewhat since last night.. maybe after dinner...
CC
Good idea, I was hoping you'd say that. Did you call?
Incidentally, OMG what a twist on 24 next week!!!!
