For me, personally, the more
someone tries to guilt me into doing something, the less likely I am to do it.
My youngest brother got engaged yesterday and very early thinking is that the wedding and celebrations will be in Toronto, where they live. It’s not very far for us, about a 3 hour plane ride. We’d have to stay in a hotel and possibly rent a car or something to get around.
If you’ve being keeping up with the thread about my husband, you know he’s still in the hospital. If you’re not, why not?? (Totally kidding) He should be coming home in the next week or two, but he’ll be in a wheelchair with strict instructions not to weight bear. His wrists and hands are still weak and he’s still doing physiotherapy every day.
I don’t have an issue with him in a wheelchair. He can get around with it and I know the airplane staff would be very accommodating. My issue is that we don’t know what November will bring. He could be 100% normal (fingers crossed) or he could be back in the hospital. He still could be needing wound care and physio. We just don’t know. It really is a day by day situation.
I’ll admit, I’m not 100% crazy about us going to Toronto. There’s way too many what if situations that could happen. I know November is a long way away, but I’m picturing it in today’s settings, because that would be a worst case scenario.
Another issue is his size. He’s 6’7” and he’s all legs. We won’t be able to sit in the emergency exit seats for extra leg room because he wouldn’t be able to help in an emergency. We’ll be flying cheap so the plane won’t have first class and even if it did, we couldn’t afford it.
Now to the point of the thread..
I haven’t talked to my mom yet (she knows everything lol) but I wonder if my brother or my mom has considered the fact that we may not be able to go. I’ll wait a while before I ask, because nothing has been finalized yet. When it does come up though, I have a feeling that someone, my mom or more likely my sister will try and guilt me/us into going. I know I should, it’s my youngest brother getting married after all. But, we would be coming with a lot of what ifs. Hopefully I’m worried for nothing and he’ll be totally healed and there won’t be any issues. Fingers crossed I’d get to go to the Hockey Hall of Fame too lol
So, does guilt work on you?
