You and me both. Maybe when he's a bit older, he can make his own food and it can be a rule that if he wants something different, he has to do it himself.

Life Update:
I decided to break the awkwardness of the ice and reached out to the group to see what was going on, and glad I did.
Yes, we may have jumped to conclusions slightly, but they were going to a high school reunion of sorts or something along those lines and just decided to make last minute plans.
And yes, the friends knew each other way back when (so in that regards we kind of weren't really included).
But ya know you could have said....something!
^^^This is why I freakin HATE being left in the dark.

The first two times she wasn't even mad. This time, she hasn't responded yet, so we'll see

I told her the meeting did not go well. I said that a solution was brought forth and some petty parents poo pooed it. I said practice was canceled for tomorrow so the owner would be able to think more clearly. I came up with 7 kids from dd’s team who were willing to go on. They were not part of the problem. Their kids don’t deserve what happened. They have emailed the gym with their hopes of continuing. I emailed the gymnastics coordinator and said to her that the parents would be emailing and there are enough for a team. She said she thinks the owner is overwhelmed and doesn’t know who to trust. I gave her the names then. She knows they are good people. One even works there. I told her if she doesn’t even consider this, with people who have done nothing but show utmost respect to the program and her, then she has burned bridges that will not get reconciled. This is a small town. People talk. People are brutal on social media.

Well at least they had a good reason. They still should have told you.Life Update:

I mean, it's hard to say without knowing the terms of a contract. They likely have terms in their contract that allow them to get rid of problem families, such as refusal to pay or violation of conduct. But as long as it's not a civil rights thing (race, religion, etc) they probably can do what they want without legal action.

I'm not sure about that. Unless, they have a pact of some sort, it really isn't an obligation for anyone to let someone know that really isn't involved in those plans. It's like you going to a special place and your neighbor being upset that you didn't tell them you were going. It really isn't any of their business what you do or who you do it with. In this case it was a semi-class reunion and if you weren't part of that initial group there would be no reason to tell you unless it came up in conversation, which apparently it didn't. I understand, to some degree that someone could, without knowing the situation, be upset, but putting yourself into a position that you automatically feel that every plan they make that doesn't include you should be run by you. No, that's not right. The proper thing to do was to ask once they found out, which they did, and the answer was sufficient to know that it wasn't any form of slight toward them. Not even something to think about again. Move on!

Her response: "He's handsome, but not right in the head."I think my cousin's wife needs a frying pan. He got ahold of her phone and posted to her Facebook. This is the third time this month...

Let you???????????????????? Would you like a large or extra large frying pan?Oh, my husband does that too. He adds whatever HE wants to snack on, but questions every other purchase. And stuff like..I buy cheater lettuce (pre chopped) because I have a very physically demanding job along with everything I do at home. I try to save my energy where I can. Yes, cheater lettuce is more expensive, but it's worth it to me to save time, energy, and inevitably dishes because my husband will forget to put the cutting board into the dishwasher, or he just doesn't bother to do the dishes at all and -I- end up having to do even more. So I go to get the cheater lettuce and he says "Just buy a head of lettuce and cut it yourself." I said "I'm not cutting it. You want to save the money, you get to chop the lettuce." He did, but then I ended up doing the dishes. Again. The thing is he HATES shopping in all forms, so he gets grouchy and expresses himself by trying to micromanage me. If he'd just let me do the dang shopping instead of questioning everything, he'd be out of there so much faster. But he totally wastes time. I grab a net of mandarin oranges, he asks me if I really need that. Yes....that's what E and I eat for snacks. But you already have some in the fridge. Yes....half a net out of the 2 nets I bought less than a week ago...what's left will not last long. But do you have to get them today? You could just get them when you run out. I could, but I'm here right now and I don't want to run out at all. So now we've spent 2 minutes debating whether or not I really needed the mandarins when it would have taken only 10 seconds to grab the net and put it in the basket. And then he goes and grabs bags of chips, or melba toast with schmeer, or sausage. I can't buy cheater lettuce because it's more expensive, but he can buy a bunch of sodium laden junk food for himself that costs 3 times more than the cheater lettuce he won't let me buy. And then he grouches around because I made him cut the lettuce and I end up doing his chore (dishes) because he didn't feel like it.

Right next to B.
It is part of the autism, though.
B recently ate a hot dog at Hershey and then this past trip ate a burger at MK. I'm still recovering from shock.

I can imagine if my parents went grocery shopping, they'd argue. There was an argument this weekend about why my mom bought so many bananas (she's making banana bread).Oh, my husband does that too.

The only time they go is when they go to Hawaii because my dad is the driver on the rental car. Idk how that goes because I stay behind.
