Cause he would have been so wonderful...
So... we went to my cousins graduation party yesterday.
It was fun for the most part. Except my grandma is insane. Or a huge fan of revisionist history.
Because when we were getting ready to leave, I was carrying Elora around to say goodbye to Jake (the cousin who's party it was... PS the kid is going to Virginia Tech for PREMED! My baby cousin wants to be a pediatrician!!!!!) and various other family members, and I hear my grandma talking to my other aunt's mom.
She said that I had forced Pete to stay away from me and Elora. That he had not only wanted to be a part of our lives, but that he probably would have married me.
She blamed me and said that she felt bad because Elora was growing up without a father and wouldn't have a "normal life".
But at least she has my parents to give her a good example. Gram also said that she was surprised that I was acting like a mom and taking care of my child instead of passing her off to my mom and dad. She expected me to pretty much abandon my baby and let my parents raise her while I went off and behaved like a dumb drunk slut.
Cause that's the only way a single girl gets "into trouble"
Oh and she's also shocked that I haven't gotten pregnant again already.
Seriously? Really? What the fuck?
What.
The.
Fuck.
In reality...
Pete told me that he though I should have an abortion. And when I said that I was keeping the baby, he asked me not to tell his parents.
He has nothing to do with me or my daughter.
We don't speak.
So where exactly did my gram get the ridiculous notion that he would have married me if I had let him?
And I pushed him away?
Yeah, cause "I'm not ready to be a parent. It would be better if you didn't have it." that sure sounds like he's chomping at the bit to be a part of our lives.
I'm seriously so mad I'm numb. I couldn't even think to say anything to her.
I kind of want to skip out on family stuff now.
Too bad the next big event is Elora's Birthday... and gram is already invited.
My dad would be upset if I told him his mother wasn't aloud to come I guess.
