When someone says to you.."Have a nice day" look at them sadly and reply "Well... if I have to ".

Sigh. It was my mom's birthday today. I called her and she was all chipper and then said, "Your sister says she owes you a phone call."
That was 3 weeks, ago, that "owed" phone call. So, not only does my mom go see my sister for her birthday because it makes my mom happy? I am LOWER on the "owed to do" list of my little sister than freaking….. Laundry.
Number of times my family has called me (besides kiddo or husband) since I took this new job oy, nearly 8.5 months ago? ONE. When my mom was like psycho on the airplane. I think it might have been a TEXT from my sister come to think about it.
Number of times I have politely texted family members to find out a goo time to talk? THE REST OF THEM.
I feel really pretty low, man. I can accept my part in this, I married a man who won't lick Hillary's...something nor will I. They think I have been "conscripted" but I'm the kid's mom so I can't be ignored ENTIRELY, and I was a pretty awful teen and young adult and then got SUPER sick so I was a PITA.
I know this. The sad part is, I am probably the nicest to my family I have ever been. I am also the nicest, generally, than I have ever been.
I am going to email my sister about her "owed" phone call, and tell her she doesn't "owe" me anything. I am going to do it nicely, and I am going to say that it's a shame I rate lower than laundry on her list and like, that's too bad because she is missing the best part of me, actually. But that if I'm that low on her list of "owes" to please not call me because I won't be answering, and that perhaps one day, if she actually feels like talking to her big sister, she can, you know, give me a call. But not anytime in the near future, and I am not blocking her number because, you know, that would be childish. But, my feelings are hurt, I will let her know that, and I will ask her NOT to email back with a bunch of "That is what I meant" because let's face it... Over 3 weeks. That action means, "Less important than laundry.'
Yeah, I cried. Not at the time, and not when my mother had the audacity to tell me she tells my son routinely not to listen to a single thing his stepfather says. The stepfather that spent AS MUCH money and care and love raising the kid as me and sperm provider combined (sperm gave the money I gave the love and care.)
You know, my bio family kind of sucks. They do. Happy birthday, mom. I listened to all that and was like, "Um yes, so I also was calling to see if there is anything you would like for your birthday so email me if there is, Love you Mom."
Sigh,

Birthdays are over rated at best...actually, they mostly kinda suck, at least that's my experience.
