07-4-2008 - Ugh frustrating!

My mood while writing this blog: Annoyed

This weekend Ryan and I decided to go up to Golden to visit his parents. The visit was great, I love his parents. The thing that annoyed me, though, was yesterday afternoon. Ryan and I were going to be leaving for a bit before dinner so he could get his hair cut. His hair dresser/friend was opening the shop "just for him" because she wanted to congratulate him on our pregnancy. So that was cool.

Well about half an hour before we were leaving the phone rings. It's his friend Chad, who is married to his ex-gf. They are coming in to visit his parents. They didn't know we were there.

Am I the only person in the world that thinks it's weird that his EX is still in contact with his parents? Like shit, visit your own damn inlaws. I just think the whole situation is twisted. This chick broke up with Ryan (they had been together for like 4 years or something) and the VERY NEXT DAY, Ryan's best friend is asking her to prom. Umm. Riiiiiight. Then they of course proceed to make Ryan best man at their wedding and godfather of their children.

WHAT THE FUCK???

I mean, none of that is my business I suppose. I get along fine with them and everything, and I try to keep my own confusion about the whole issue out of the universe for the most part. I, personally, think that if I were Ryan, these people would no longer be in my life. Period. But that's his choice to make, not mine, and I wasn't there for everything that went down so really, what do I know. I'm fine with that.

What pisses me off is that Ryan's parents will buy the kids Christmas presents and shit and they don't even so much as get a thank you. When they showed up yesterday at Ryan's parents, they made Ryan's mom get out toys for the kids, didn't say thank you for the hospitality, or sorry for interrupting your dinner (because they wouldn't take the hints to leave because dinner was ready), or even clean up after their kids afterwards. Ryan's parents are the sweetest people alive. Chad grew up with Ryan, I can understand that, but still, to be all "Oh, you need to meet my kids, blah blah blah," with your ex's parents ... I'm just really having a hard time with that.

In high school, I was with the same guy for 4 years also. His mom and I were super tight. She thought I was the best thing since sliced bread and couldn't dream of anyone better for her son. She used to help me with my biology homework and stuff, cuz she was a microbiologist. When we broke up, there were no hard feelings but you sure as hell don't see me calling her up and being like, "hey, you know, I'm with someone new and I'm pregnant, so I thought you might like to meet my kid when it's born. I'll bring her by!" Um no!

I just really don't understand. and being pregnant isn't making the understanding any easier.
