Sure she ...I'm not sure this Lisa is a friend. Sure she comes over but only when it's convenient for her, when she wants some free time or when she wants something. Seems to me like she's taking advantage of you and then has the stones to get mad when you call her on it. I'd be as direct as you can with her. She has very little business getting mad at you. And if someone invited me to the pool, the expectation is that they show up with their son, not just drop him off. And to say there are lifeguards to watch him is sad.Lizbethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03449627964374811836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826977458991854551.post-65845615943516699452011-08-24T05:35:14.703-07:002011-08-24T05:35:14.703-07:00Soul-sucker is the perfect way to describe her (as...Soul-sucker is the perfect way to describe her (as Mystery did).Sundarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10526581887372056449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826977458991854551.post-21401773239380753452011-08-23T08:05:15.942-07:002011-08-23T08:05:15.942-07:00She seems a little crazy! I get that her feelings...She seems a little crazy! I get that her feelings were hurt by the lie, but she has to be an adult and get over it!<br /><br />I see that scheduling personal fun time is hard when you have a family. I think that is why all my friends with kids hang out with other parents - kids and parents get to socialize at the same time. Your true friends will understand. And if they don't, you always have us. ;-)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14978375225313974459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826977458991854551.post-50025661465050189332011-08-23T07:31:37.323-07:002011-08-23T07:31:37.323-07:00Hun, I'm sorry to tell you but this Lisa is NO...Hun, I'm sorry to tell you but this Lisa is NOT your friend! She's is a soul-sucker. She will put you on the spot, behave inappropriately and in the end try to make you feel guilty for her bad behavior. The sooner you recognize this the happier you will be. It sounds to me like Lisa needs some therapy. (I have been dealing with one of these myself and I finally just stopped answering the phone and replying to texts, it was just too much.)MysteryChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12897646948842036336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826977458991854551.post-68021677475012868982011-08-23T07:29:49.150-07:002011-08-23T07:29:49.150-07:00I agree with Arnebya.
But at some point you really...I agree with Arnebya.<br />But at some point you really shouldn't "hint" because she seems to be slow on that uptake.<br />I would always be straight forward say what you mean. This way there is never a misunderstanding you know? Do you think you could have said the first time maybe over a cocktail that you don't enjoy company during the week. And explain why. Then this may not have started. Then again she appears to like drama or she wouldn't have been so passive agressive in the drive way.<br /><br />You still have your internet friends Roc. We love ya and I won't be stopping by this evening. :-)Margaret (Peggy or Peg too)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04247428494327269983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826977458991854551.post-71672571278780923502011-08-23T07:12:45.024-07:002011-08-23T07:12:45.024-07:00OK I'm giggling rather hard at the picture. Bu...OK I'm giggling rather hard at the picture. But seriously, I want to be objective w/Lisa. I'm just finding it extremely hard. Because she is making it hard! Sure, she knows her kid and knows his trustworthiness, that he'll act appropriately, but it still deserves a "I'm tired, I'd rather not come, but I'd like to send him alone if you don't mind watching him." Then to get an attitude...it's too much to expect me to explain my feelings to you after being out all day, having kids to wind down, and being tired myself, especially when you should already KNOW. All I can suggest is be more direct. Since she's finally getting a clue, maybe this'll be a turning point though.Arnebyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16445670708629187950noreply@blogger.com
