Disclaimer, this isnt a play like story bc there wasnt really a conversation i was witness to, but both parties did admit to this story. A little info. The EM is my mom. I have more stories from her and my grandma who can be an EG sometimes. So it was April, my brothers birthday is April 8th but the family is usually very busy during the week. So we decided to put it off until the weekend, which is all fine and dandy with everyone. We always have all the family events (birthdays, meetings, holidays, etc.) at our house since we have a propane grill, snazzy and a sizeable kitchen and living room. Us being the hosts always, and I do mean ALWAYS buy the stuff for the cookouts and do all the work. Which wouldn't bother me much, but my grandma works her (butt for lack of better term) off all day and it isn't exactly the best paying job, we get along fine though. So my mom didnt let my grandma know anything about my brothers birthday. But they had been planning Easter plans all month, I was part of and witness to this since I wanted my boyfriend to come. So my mom decides on Friday she wants to have the birthday party the next day, which also happened to be the day before Easter, and our Easter cookout. Meaning we would have to buy double the supplies, you may not think its that big of a deal but we can buy two packs of hotdogs and enough meat to make twenty burgers, but its always 11 people (Me, 2 uncle, aunt in law, my mom, moms gf, 3 brothers, my gma, and finally my boyfriend) who surprisingly make everything disappear in less than an hour. My gma tried to reason and say we could celebrate my brothers bday on Easter too, but nope, my mom is stubborn and I get that from her. So my gma tries to meet halfway again and says if my mom buys the food and supplies for HIS birthday. A little more, I live with my grandma, brothers don't, it's a kinda messed up, not too bad, EM story, that I'm willing to tell if you're interested. So my mom says no to that again. At this point my grandma puts her foot down, and I supported her. So my mom gets mad, and doesn't allow my brothers to come over for Easter and ignored my grandma for about three weeks. My gma tried to makeup multiple times. Straight to voicemail. Now I normally don't care about family drama(I have an EG, EM, EB, and EU, plenty of stories). But this made my grandma cry. Multiple times. She also(EU, NU, EG, and EM work as contractors for the same company) worked with EU on houses my grandma was supposed to work on with him. My mom came over one night and asked me to go on a walk, and since I'm trying to lose weight but have too bad of anxiety to go walking alone I comply. I ended up scolding her, got home almost in tears and told her to makeup soon because it is her mom. They made up a few days later, I am usually the peace maker between them. There have been many things in the few months since April in my family, but we always makeup. I am glad to say while I have not forgotten everything my mom has put me through, I have forgiven her, because she is my mom. I am a little upset that she did ruin Easter a little as I love my brothers very much, so does everyone else(although the can be entitled too), but its in the past. Also my brother did finally have a bday party last month and he had a blast, happy about turning 6
