Baby Taver's Baptism

[fancytalk]

Earlier in the week we received the birth announcement in the mail.
I was happy, extremely surprised and a bit annoyed.
This is the first thing that we haven't gotten a "sneak preview" of either through Bayly or his parents. And that's probably why we're a bit peeved around here. We've always been on the first to know list and now we're one step from the "if I run into you at the store and either I have the kid with me or remember that you probably don't know, then I'll tell you" list.

Today the peeved-ness continues with the baptism invitation.
I know they are new parents and that's difficult enough, but come on, pick up the phone. I think we deserve a "sorry we didn't call you sooner", I mean it's not like there's a 20 year history or anything. I feel like we're getting the "hi, we've had a baby and we haven't gotten a gift from you yet" mail.

I'm sure I'm overreacting and it's probably something really stupid and simple.

Finally! Free moment.

Why would I hate you? If I didn't want someone to tell it to me like it is, then I wouldn't have posted my rant.

So the continuation of the saga is that I called to R.S.V.P. for the baptism. Talked to the happy daddy and nothing. Basically picked up from the last conversation we had. I realize the problem though - He's back to his clueless self. Which had improved when he first got married, but apparently the side effects of having a new wife start to dwindle after year 5. So until there is a cure for that, I'm just going to say "whatever" and be the one that calls more often.

I am glad you are one of those people who can see he is self absorbed, rather than thinking it was a reflection on you. It still hurts and irks, but at least you know "why" he acts that way :)
