Am heading up to NYC for a big ass event, a good friend of mine's boss just got promoted to Investment Director. Pretty much the highest Investment banker rank short of being in the B of D.
Good news all around cos my friend got his old position as Vice Director.
Anyway, the party is for his boss and i got invited since me and the boss did business before.
The party will be thursday because is the only day the B of D folks were able to find an opening in they schedule. So the party cannot be moved.
His brother is holding a baby shower that same day for his 2nd born and he cant move it cos apparently all the housewifes on his invitation list have grocery shopping or crochet lessons the other days of the week.
Get this, his mother chose to attend the baby shower 
The fukc is wrong with people. You son just got promoted at age 36 to a position that puts him in the top 20 percentile of the nation's financial/banking industry and in the top 0.02 percentile of income earning in the nation.
You other son popped a kid, that puts him in the . . . idk . . . 95 percentile of the population.
How is this comparable?
Also, whats the need to go to the baby shower? is not that the kid will remember. Nor is like there wont be another one.
And they all live in the same county, so its not like his mother wont get to see the grandchild often.
Moreover, he had to hear his mom give him crap for not having kids (unlike the bother) while he was trying to tell her about his phenomenal promotion.
I understand the importance of having kids and the joy they bring to families. But good lord, your prodigy son is one in millions and he has achieved a milestone that most of the population can only dream about. How are you not gonna go to his inauguration ceremony and listen to his first speech as Director.
Anyway, some people are just not alright. I told him on the phone when he called me to make sure i RSVP. I said "Hey man, some people, if they dont get it, they dont get it. And i am sorry to hear that in this particular case your own mother is one that doesnt get it. But the key to make peace with your mom and brother here is to realize that they are not being malevolent, they are just being naive"
He giggled and said that i made a good point and that he is looking fwd to see me and see on thursday.
Anyway, I had to rant, I feel better now.
