Argh... One of those social things tonight where you're treated like you're invisible and yet feel like you're expected to perform at the same time. I hate having been the very tail end of my generation. Special punishment if you live alone with no partner or kids, it feels like.
We are going regional this weekend to stay with another relative, but I'll be ducking out for a good part of it - and then the adults are gone and I'll be back to my own life and not feeling like I should pretend to be someone else to be the ideal auntie figure. I'll do it my way, fuckyas.
