I have heard a lot of people talk about their relationships – how one partner always seems to work harder than the other at maintaining the relationship – whether it is a marriage or a friendship.
The same goes with your children friend’s. One set of parents always seems to do more for the kid’s than the others.
The Boy is in golf camp this week. At the request of his friend’s mom – so E didn’t have to go by himself.
She can drop them off, her husband does shift work and is available to pick them up most days, but will Hubby be available to help with the pick up? The Boy is at his dad’s this week so I should be off scott free. No. I end up mediating between the two families. Ass is going to drop The Boy off himself. Ok.
I call E’s Mom on Sunday night – I leave a message – The Boy is going to be dropped off at camp – who is picking them up at noon. 11:45AM on the first day – nothing. So Hubby goes to get the boys. E doesn’t know what is going on – he calls his dad who is on his way but says E can go home with us. Oh – and E has baseball so can you drive him home because we don’t have time to go and get him. Ok.
So last night I talk to E’s mom – what is the plan for tomorrow. E”s Dad is gong to get them and they can go to E’s house tomorrow for the afternoon. Ok.
12:15PM – The Boy calls. E’s been picked up by his dad and they left The Boy at camp. WTF? Fine – Hubby went and got The Boy.
Why can’t they have one friend with parents that I can count on?
