I am sitting here laughing out loud at your response to him! Serves him right for saying anything of the sort!!!
An $800 birthday party? Holy Crap! The most I've ever paid is $165...and I thought that was awfully spendy! Good for your aunt for standing up to your mom! Your mom is SO like one of my college roommates. Sallie would play poor.
Mind you, I worked either two or three jobs PLUS going to school full time...carrying around 27 credit hours each semester because I was an honors student. She did nothing...got fired from work study because she never showed up for work. So, whose fault was it if she was "broke"? Her parents paid for everything for her.
I would say I was going to go get a Whopper (this is back when they were 99¢ after 5 pm!) and ask if she wanted to go. She always WANTED to go, but would say she just didn't have the money. But, if I could cover her this time, she'd make sure to treat me after she got more money from her dad.
So, I'd treat her. With fries and a soda it was always about $3.50 each. Amazingly, come Friday she would suddenly remember having money socked away and she and her cousin would buy a bottle of whiskey and go party. They'd get drunk, go to a bar and drink the cheap pitchers of beer, then go finish their whiskey. You and I both know that a bottle of Jim Beam costs WAY more than a meal at Burger King.
I finally got to the point where I'd go out and eat alone rather than pay for her. She was a real mess...she'd tell my aunt shit she had no right passing along. I didn't call her parents to tell them I found drunken naked cowboys whose names she didn't even know in my livingroom many a Saturday morning.
The other trait of hers that I really loved was that she didn't bathe. She'd go a week or more between showers. Her MO was to get up as late as possible before classes, go to class in the sweats she'd slept in, go ride her horse, go out with her cousin and party, come home and sleep in the same sweats again...then after a day or two, switch to clean sweats.
UGH. I'm rambling! I'm just glad your aunt was on to your mom...and I hope she was able to get her money back on the canceled reservations! Your brother is going to be in a world of hurt when your mom dies, isn't he? Who will he sponge off of then?
As to your SIL...holy canolli!!! I think I'd send her a reply saying, "I don't want to embarrass you, but I know you'll want to know that somehow your thank you e-mail went out to everyone on your mailing list...not just the people who attended the party! I'm sure people won't think anything of it, but just in case people are acting strange, I thought you should know!" Totally pretend like you think it was unplanned. I wonder if this will cause trouble for your brother at work. Things could get nasty if people realize that he rented out an entire city pool and didn't invite them, too! Not a good move!
Just curious, what happens if you do get induced? Will your insurance pay for the hospital costs? I hope this doesn't become another worry for you! How would that work...does your midwife have doctors she's associated with?
If your due date is just 3 days away, you'll surely go into labor any minute now!!! Hang in there. Don't kill Robert...you need the income, lol! It's a good thing men don't get pregnant, isn't it??? They can't even handle it when their wives are pregnant. Imagine if they had to go through it themselves!
Hang in there!
