    I am both angry and depressed



    I feel so... I don't even have words to describe it. I wish I could take this day back and start over.

    All day, I've been planning a meal for my parents. They were going camping this weekend and coming back tonight, I thought I could have a great meal waiting for them. I made lamb shanks, local, organic ones that I'd bought a while ago on sale. I made cauliflower rice and asparagus soup. White asparagus, which isn't cheap. I bought special ice cream with scottish shortbread for dessert.

    They completely forgot I was making them supper and ate on the way home. I just... I like making food for them but I don't think I can do it anymore. I think this is the end. I spent at least fifty dollars and five hours of my life on this and I can't get it back.

    It hurts.

    Did you tell them how you feel?

      Pretty much. I called them to find out how much longer they would be, which is when I found out they'd already eaten. I was obviously upset. Then, the trip home from where they were was an hour and a half. So I took the asparagus soup but left everything else, including the expensive ice cream because I have no room in my freezer. I left a note telling them where everything is and to enjoy the ice cream while I hate them. I think that expressed my feelings pretty well.

      Dad called to apologize but I'm still upset. Sigh... I guess I'll get over it eventually. I don't know if I'll ever do this again though.

        I didn't cook for my husband for the longest time because it seemed that every time I made the effort, he'd be an hour or more late getting home from work and the food would be cold. Even now, if he doesn't call/text me to let me know he's off work and I start dinner anyway, he WILL be late. I learned that when that happens, it's nuked hot dogs or some such thing for dinner, and not meatloaf with homemade mashed potatoes and fresh green beans.
        The fact that jellyfish have survived for 650 million years despite not having brains gives hope to many people.

        You would have to be incredibly dense for the world to revolve around you.

          *hugs Aria* that would make me feel sad and angry, too.

            Ugh. My stepdad did this to my mom for the longest time. Well, in their situation she'd make dinner because he expected it, but then he'd say he wasn't hungry. I don't know if he was being purposely difficult or not.
