I just need to vent. My FIL set me off tonight for some reason, and really it's been a while. He just managed to get under my skin good tonight. Old stupid SOB.
So yesterday my mom and I worked out the details of us going over today for lunch, after she had her picc line out. My FIL wasn't told about it until today, which apparently pissed him off. I didn't even know til later on yesterday! Also, I didn't think it was that big a deal. I guess it was, probably something to do with him having work to do for his son since he's under the impression he's his slave or something.
Today we go, have a good time with my mom and get ready to head home. Rewind a bit to when we were leaving the place we had lunch at, I noticed a couple drips under my car and questioned whether it was from mine or not. My husband figured it wasn't. We then went somewhere else and the same inquiry popped up, but again my husband thought it was from another vehicle. Then later when we were back at my mom's I look under my car and saw drips there too, no denying it was from my car because there were NO spots there when we parked. As a side note, this led to an 'I told you so' moment with my husband because I have this paranoia about leaks (thanks to my last car) so I have a nervous habit of looking at parking spots BEFORE we park so I know what was there to start with. When we pulled out my mom sent me a pic of the puddle under my car ... DEFINITE tranny leak. We even had to buy another quart of fluid at a gas station to get us home.
So I call my dad to see what his plans were tomorrow in case my husband needed his help, depending on WHY it was leaking. In the interim of all of this my husband decides to take my car immediately to the farm, to the big shed, to look at it and see if it was a simple fix. So I tell my dad this after my husband told me about it (did not know this was his plan at first). Mind you, I was also in a 'Shit, my car is screwed up, don't need this right now!' panic so I wasn't thinking 100% clear. Well apparently because we didn't also call my FIL ahead of time to let him know he got all pissed. He apparently would have gotten the trailer and come and picked us up ... which was NOT OK because a.) it wasn't necessary and b.) he's not supposed to drive after dark.
So now he's on a 'I'm selling the place' kick and all pissed at us. After all we do for him? All the time we've given up? All the stress we've been through? FINE. Whatever old man, you're burning your bridge a little hotter now.
Awww...that all sucks.
