kat8chaSo, so, if you've been following the exciting saga that is my RL existence, then you know that -
a) little sister is pregnant
b) family is angsty about it
c) ...fuck I don't even know. That I have a tendency to be the open ear to my family's whiny needs. Or at least some of their whiny needs.
The recent debacle is - we're throwing Juliet a bb shower. We're doing it next week. People are coming in for this.
My sister Marian is in charge. B/c, well, my sister marian is always in charge of these things now. She has this whole NEED to be in charge. So we let her be.
Problem - she has certain standards.
Problem 2 - Tricia wanted to make some stuff for the shower. She wanted to make cupcakes.
Marian doesn't trust Tricia's baking, b/c Tricia only really started to bake recently. Tricia wants to make the cupcakes Thursday when the shower is Saturday.
I'd prefer the cupcakes were made Friday too, but whatever.
Anyway, Marian blows up about this. Tricia, who has some self-esteem issues, as well as issues with Juliet (Juliet openly states that she HATES Tricia, and everything she does pisses Tricia off), and probably a lot of stress from other things in life.
I think this is ridiculous. My parents thing this is ridiculous. They try to tell Marian that the cupcakes are fine. Marian doesn't think so, but she sends an e-mail to Tricia with an utterly insincere message basically saying it's fine. Tricia is just like SCREW IT.
Mom decides that they'll buy a cake.
Goddammit. No.
No fucking cake.
Dad complains in one ear about a) Mom and b) Juliet. Mom complains in the other about Dad. Juliet is an idiot who proceeds to make everyone pissed off (example - she calls last night about the fact that she's staying over at Andrew's. I'm like 'well duh I figured you weren't coming home'. She's all 'well so long as you're okay with it'. And I'm just like... -_-. I'm not okay with it, but there's nothing I can do about it.)
Okay, so, basically. They're all WHINY BITCHES. Whiny, whiny bitches. I am too.
But see, I admit it. And I know that if I'm bitching to someone about something, like 'FUCK YOU ALL I JUST WON'T MAKE THIS' it's b/c I feel unappreciated. And if I'm going to get upset about, it's probably worth fucking doing.
I'm sorry, if making cupcakes is such a big deal to you, if it's the only thing you want to make for the shower... make them.
If not, then don't make anything. You don't need to. Amazingly enough, you're not REQUIRED.
