He can't just ask me to go shopping for them and hand me a list, he has to lay on the silent guilt trip bit because I can't magically read his mind and know what he wants when. I shop for him, do his housework et all because he's pretty old and I am "that" kid, the designated one. My step she's an older senior too, and so is her sister who lives near them. They don't get around a lot, so I was always pitching in and doing things for the two households. Still do, though soon now it will be just Dad again. My stepmom has just moved out into her sisters and soon they're moving to MI somewhere it looks like. I hate this. I really like her and her sister they're not only spitting after a decade but they're moving so far away I know that's it, that I am likely to never see either one of them again. Grr, but yeah, I so know that sound!!!!
Dang. You're "that" kid. I was "that" grandkid and helped my grandmother during her last few years. It's hard job.
I hate the silent guilt trips, those are so annoying. *stares at grunty husband* LOL Maybe it would help if you set out a "List Pad" and said, "this is for the stuff that you want me to get. If it's on the list, I'll get it." Maybe a new rule would ease you away from the grocery guessing game. We have one on our fridge and that's helped a lot. Plus my ranting, "I'm not a mind reader." Ranting helps a lot. LOL
On thread topic: I've found some pretty lace and I'm going to try and make Ina a cute skirt!
