The Organ Recital

JRI's picture

Mercifully, SD62 cancelled her Christmas party last night due to her illness.  I'm sorry anybody is sick (DS and wife are sick, too) but the relief was apparent in everyone I called about it.

SD62 called today.  There was a 30-minute  recital of all her ills, what the Dr said, what the hospital said, about all her ailments.  in between, she interjected some non-medical problems she's having.

I hate to feel so insensitive to suffering but talking with her is so draining.  Just a rant, sigh.....

Attention-seeking. It IS draining. Like Little Idiot's fishing for compliments.... it sucks your energy

Are you kidding?  She is hyper-focused on herself.  The only reference to her dad was, ' "Was he mad I cancelled?".   I didn't tell her he was relieved we didn't have to go.

The postscript is she called this morning.  Was it How are you, Dad?  Was it Merry Christmas, Dad?  No, it was Can I borrow $60?  He told her no.

It seems she didn't have the money to buy one of her grandsons a gift and would be seeing him today.
