Not a happy camper...

So...apparently my uncle Bill is in town. And we're having company for dinner.

...THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW, MOM. Seriously.

I can't think of a time that I am less apt to desire socializing than after spending a very chaotic seven hours on my feet. My parents keep telling me that I need to go out and meet new people, and I just want to ask, "WHY?" Why do I apparently have to want to be social? Why is it so strange that I don't?

And then Mom asks if I'd be willing to make that one mac-and-cheese casserole, like I made that one time. Again, thanks for the warning, Mom. I'm going to go do a bit of lifting, since my plans for my evening (which consisted of a good work-out and then cleaning my room) have now been completely screwed over. So if I have to have this stuff ready by six-thirty, then I don't have time to do what I'd planned.

So thanks again, Mom, for the courtesy of letting me know. OH WAIT.

~_~ I know how that feels, being told at the last min about something.

Awww -hug- Do your best! I wish I could have some of your casserole... And it really does blow that your mom didn't have the courtesy to give you a heads-up but just assumed that you could drop everything for her. -pats- Take deep even breaths~

I wouldn't classify that as bratty at all. That's a breach of common courtesy and decency. Obviously, your reaction to said behavior depends on how your relationship with your parents is and how much of it you want to maintain, but your mother definitely should have been aware that you have a life.

And I hear ya on the "Why do I have to be social" thing? I got it from my teachers all through school. As TV Tropes says, Loners Are Freaks.

you should of said you couldn't because you was already going to be out at your friends until late, make it totally "I'm not a little kid and you don't own me" kind of thing with it idk...

Ug, last minute notification stinks -_- With my mom.. I know.

She'd plan family get-togethers and let me know that I was expected to show up the day before. It got so bad with her that I now require her to give me at least a week's notice before she can plan for me to be there and that was when she lived less than 5 minute drive from me. I don't think it's that bad for you though, just make sure it doesn't get to that point.

And it isn't that I don't want to hang out with the family.. It's just when she expects things to happen the way she wants it to at the drop of a hat.

If something happens unexpected, then you can ask me to show up suddenly, but when plans for Hanukkah event-ness is already going on, and I don't hear about it until the day before..

Man, that really sucks. >< I'm sorry! I hope everything works out alright.

My parents do that to me all the time. GRRRR... But, I'll have to admit that even I'm guilty of that sometimes. (Lol)
