10. Not content to apologize and let things

Mar 2012

alone, my sister emails me today to let me know that she called the restaurant where the party is going to be and they told her she could bring a CD player. She informed me that she would be bringing the music. Basically, it was a nah nah nah I can do what I want without conferring with anyone else kind of thing. The thing is, if she knew my Dad at all she would know he isn't going to want music playing. He wears a hearing aid and in a closed room with 30+ people the music will drive him crazy. Then she asked "what else is being done".

Oh, no, she's not dragging me into that discussion. No matter what I said it wouldn't be right so I just replied "I just got up and don't have any idea what is else is going on." I knew she had already talked to my other sisters and knew exactly what was going on - she was baiting me.

So, she has set herself up to get her feelings hurt when my Dad asks for the music to be cut off - and he will. Then we can hear how unappreciated she is and how everyone picks on her.

I really just want her to leave me alone. We can do the fake air kiss thing at family get-togethers and that's really all that's necessary as far as I'm concerned.
