It's all in your attitude and mindset toward him. Lucky for us - that is something we can have the courage to change.
OK, it does stink that HE suggested he caulk the tub and then blew it off. It's what they do...make promises and promptly forget them. However, a couple of things struck me..
1) See above.
2) It sounds like your are putting enormous pressure on yourself that the graduation and your mom's visit be perfect.
3) You can't control events. You can't make anything perfect, only God/HP can do that.
4) Relax, ENJOY the reason for the celebration and visit and ENJOY being with your son and mom.
5) I guarantee you, no one will ever remember that the tub wasn't caulked. But they WILL remember what a great weekend it was being with those they love the most in this world.
Congrats to DS.
