I asked her 2 or 3 weeks ago to watch my 2 year old daughter while my husband and I went to a party. She was happy to... she loves her granddaughter...
Well she calls me today about an hour before I'm suppose to go meet her to give her Emily and she cancels on me!
Now I had already decided I wasn't going to go to this party because of recent events in my life... and there is going to be a lot of drinking... and I don't need to do that..... but I still needed a break.. and my mom knew that... and frankly her excuse was flimsy.
I wanted to scream at her... but I bit my tongue and told her oh no it's fine... talk to you later.
Now I'm just agitated... and it's just me and my kid... I would never hurt her.. I just needed a break...

try putting your head in a pillow and screaming really loud, that helps me sometimes. play a puzzle, read or color with your daughter, that will help take your mind off of things, or try to put her to bed early. i know how easy it is to get mad at family, try not to let this break you and your mom up, maybe you two need a break too. take good care and have a good evening.
