started to send this to J-law, but changed my mind: ============================
We are going to Krause Springs today when I get done with work.
Mom made me fairly crazy yesterday. We went to Boerne to get [cousin B] (her nephew, my cousin, uncle bubba's kid) and she decided she wanted to go go Fredericksburg the back way. At some point during the day she told me I was hateful because I had not been interested in the 'sprog worship' on Sunday. I guess I'm just spoiled, but my friends kids are NOT the center of attention when we get together. If there is a meal with the get-together, the children eat politely, ask questions or make statements regarding their meal, answer questions when asked, and that's IT. Then the grownups have adult conversation and the kids sit quietly, OR, if we are at someone's house, the kids go play and occupy themselves while the adults visit. Because of this, I was not prepared for or interested in sitting around for * hours applauding the little one's bathroom efforts, listening to the older children's lists of favorite toys, colors, fruits, juices, foods, games, bla bla bla. I just don't CARE. And, those kids are NOT [Brother A]'s, he has no legal right to them and neither do we. So why even bother to get invested?
