It appears a repetition to me that she describes first her husband and parents coming down, and then her going and sit. That would mean that these things are sensitive to her. I imagine her in the kitchen, she is at home, but her in-laws are there, so she feels a bit uncomfortable, knowing they soon will be coming downstairs. The movements and position is important to her. She feels tension when they come downstairs. She doesn't eat with them and tries to escape them. Her husband feels distant, she puts him in the same category with his parents. She does say "with her son", but I believe it is because of the tension that she feels that she is not relaxed on the couch or wherever she sits. The safest she feels is with her son, it is like an excuse she used to get away from the parents, it is not about bonding with her son in this case.

Maybe she doesn't mention it because they got up too late to go, but she went anyway, late, and on her own, and for some reason doesn't want to say that they didn't all go to church.Julietnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-14261643145419617602015-09-30T20:02:55.740-04:002015-09-30T20:02:55.740-04:00Peterrrrrrr,

She is resentful as she and her son maybe do not feel close to his parents, and maybe since the move in her husband has been closer to them than her and her child.<br /><br />She got ready and went to church, not because she wanted to but more out of obligation of house rules, same as when she made breakfast, trying to help out a little.<br /><br />Things settled down later as they had more coffee and got ready for Apple picking.<br /><br />This is not a good relationship, she feels she and her son do not fit in with the parents as family. Her husband stays with the parents and eats, even with the tension, and leaves his wife and stepson in the other room. I say stepson bc of the distance between the grandparents and son. If they were his grandparents I am sure they would all want to eat together. <br /><br />I am probably way off!!

-- the question is sensitive to this per...“My day?”<br />-- the question is sensitive to this person. <br />“OK. Here goes. 8 o’clock, I got up and started breakfast.”<br />--She is not telling us that she finished breakfast or even “made” breakfast. She started it.<br />“My husband and his parents came downstairs to the kitchen.” <br />--She is not telling us that they ate breakfast, only that they came downtstairs to the kitchen.<br />I think she was making breakfast when they came down and they started complaining or a discussion ensued, so she stopped making breakfast and left it up to them to make their own breakfast. I suspect there was an argument. She did not offer a complete introduction just that it was “her husband and his parents” I am not certain if the person she was talking to knew her husband and his parents and she didn’t need to introduce them, otherwise, she may not have a good relationship with the threesome.<br />“While they ate breakfast I sat down and watched cartoons with my son.” <br />--She did not breakfast with them. She did not say she had breakfast at all. She states body posture, which means that there was tension - “sat” down and watched cartoons with my son.<br />“ At 9:30 got ready for Church and went to Church.”<br /> --She left the pronoun out here. Because this is a truthful statement you would want to ask her if she attended the church. She may have gotten reach for church, drove to church, but went somewhere else without actually attending.<br />“When Church was over came home.” <br />--“church” is a highly sensitive place for her. She used it three times in a short paragraph. If her brain knows she didn’t go to church, her mind is overflowing with “church” and she just has to keep using the word. She also found it important to say “when church was over” came home. She left out the pronoun here as well. If she didn’t go to church as she wants us to assume, then she was very aware of the time when church would be over, because she would need to come home.<br />“We all drank some more coffee and got ready for apple picking."<br />--Here “we” signifies unity and cooperation. Coffee is a social activity so it is consistent with the plural “we” when used in a statement. Now I am wondering if when she stated that she “started” making breakfast if it was coffee that she started brewing since she says they all drank some “more” coffee. This means they had had coffee together an now are having more. If there was no argument, then in her subjective dictionary starting to brew coffee is “making breakfast”. <br />--I suspect she was no longer in a “huff and puff” over whatever happened in the morning and was more than happy to get ready for apple picking.C5H11ONOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01081979197453633522noreply@blogger.com
