totally forgot to write about something that i was really worked up about.

so...remember the crazy/evil cousins...the ones who i wrote about here. we haven't spoken to them since that incident really...my grandma and aunt have seen and spoken to their mom every now and then, but not on a regular basis or anything, and never by choice - she calls them. and she calls my mom sometimes too, but my mom just tries to keep things to a minimum. anyway, when my grandma was here, she called and invited us over. she lives with her daughters when she is in the US. my grandma knows that my mom won't set foot in either of their houses (especially after i made it clear to her that she wouldn't and neither would i), so she kept making excuses to avoid going. but, this woman wouldn't take no for an answer. so she ended up deciding that she and her daughters would come over to my mom's place. and my grandma said ok, because she didn't know what else to do.

at this point, i was kind of irritated - like, how dare they come to our house? my grandma was like, well, i didn't know what to do because she kept calling and wouldn't leave me alone. she kept saying her daughters wanted to see her, etc. i was pissed, but this is just how indian people are.

i asked my mom if she was going to be at home when they came, or if she wanted to go somewhere...i was totally ready to get the hell out of the house and go elsewhere until they left. but my mom said she needed to stay there to cook and serve food, etc. she was irritated, but she was just going to deal with it. so i stayed too, but i had no desire to talk to them and was planning on giving them the cold shoulder as much as possible.

anyway, so first the older one (the one who made my mom cry) and her husband showed up. she gave my mom a hug and handed her a plant when she walked in - as though nothing had happened! just totally fake. it pissed me off so much when i heard. she has some nerve...like a plant is going to make up for all the horrible things she said to her? she's not sorry, we all know she isn't. and there was no apology. just total fakeness.

i just kinda said hi and walked straight past them. went into the kitchen with my mom and we just stayed there for a long time. the other sister and her husband and baby and mom came. i spoke with them a little - mostly to the husband and the baby though. (i'm a sucker for babies.)

after lunch i was politer than i expected i would be and made conversation with them. and my mom did too. i was so enraged inside though...like, how can they just come over like that after 2 years of no word, no apologies, no nothing??? and just be so totally fake??? and why are we supposed to let them into our house and talk to them?

and the real reason they came: they wanted my uncle to take a package to india. they also had some business that they wanted him to handle for them back in india. i just knew there had to be something behind their visit...so typical...

when they were leaving, they again insisted we come over to their place. yeah, right. we all knew that was BS.

and yesterday, the younger one called and invited me and my mom to her baby shower. we aren't planning on going. i told my mom to just ignore them and not be in contact with them again. everytime they end up seeing each other, something blows up. it's better to just go back to not talking at all. it's clear they are only nice to us when they want something in return, and we don't need people like that in our lives. posted at 6:28 PM | 0 comments
