Skids come home today...and.... how to respond to my mom?
Skids come back from their summer away today. Thought they weren't coming until tomorrow, but its today. I have a tightness in my chest right now knowing they will be there when I get home from work. Trying to stay positive, but its really hard.
Also, SS has been with my mom the past week. She got him tickets to come see her as his birthday present this year. So she skypes me last night to give me his returning flight info. SS was so hyper and unfocused, and figgity..... It just brought it all flooding back why I get to frustrated and annoyed with how behavior.
My mom just texted me "are you not feeling well?"...." Tired but not sick, why?"...... "You don't seem excited that SS is coming home". Honestly don't know how to respond to that without coming off like a total bitch. But no, I am not excited that the kids are coming home. I haven't responded back yet. Any ideas on what to say?

No, sorry no advice on what to say...except that I sympathize...I remember the tightness in the chest ALL TOO F#$%#$%ing WELL every other weekend...sigh
Yeah, my mom goes way out of
Yeah, my mom goes way out of her way to show that she conciders the skids her grandkids too. One more in the groups of people who fawn all over the skids because their moms aren't involved. Which sucks for my kids becuase she is the o.ly grandparent who they have (dhs family doesn't aknowledge them) and she devotes more time and effort to the skids. And it sucks for me cause I can't talk to her about stuff cause she's all about the skids, SS in particular.
Just tell her that you are
Just tell her that you are looking forward to things settling down and that transitions are hard for everyone, not just the kids, and thank her for having spent that time with ss.
I felt the exact same way. In
I felt the exact same way. In fact, I even avoided the skids pickup the day they returned from the BM Vacation because I knew I couldn't fake enough excitement about their return and didn't feel like fighting about it.
My parents are like your mom, they go over and above - my mom even seems to do more for the skids than her own bio-g-kids just because she feels sorry for them that their mom isn't totally into them and I am not interested in filling the roll.
I just say I am tired, busy day at work etc.
