Hope venting made you feel better...

Posted By: sm on 2008-11-16
In Reply to: very displeased with 2 of my friends right now - MissAnthrope

The thing that struck me the most in your post is that you help a friend by listening to dictation.  Is this during *your* work hours?  If so, try not to answer the phone.  I know, it sounds so simple, but if you have kids, this can be tough.  Anyhow, if the friend asks why you are not answering, tell her you need to focus on getting lines so you can pay your monthly bills (stress this!).  Maybe she will get the hint.  I had to do this when a coworker called me constantly.  I'm a sole income earner so can empathize.  As for the friends working when they were asked not to, well, unfortunately, it is a supervisors/manager's job to handle.  Hopefully s/he will take care of this.  Good luck.

Thanks - I hope they feel that way about each other one day! (nm)

Hope you are starting to feel better Just me seeing that you are not alone
I think everyone has at least one narcissist in their lifetime to deal with. As someone married to one I know how disheartened you feel. They can strip you of any/all self-esteem that you ever had.
Wow! Sorry to hear. Hope you feel better. sm
Great you got to rest though! What goes around comes around, you'll get your New Year's fun another time I hope! :)
Thanks, you both made me feel better about it...sm

My intuition is definitely telling me something is off in the story. I try not to be too quick to judge but can't compromise the safety of my kids.


It bothers me a lot when stuff like this comes up, reminds how difficult the world is these days. I love technology, movies, music, the internet, etc., as much as the next guy, but it sure raises a lot of issues with your kids that weren't there when we grew up. Whatever happened to the days when kids made doll houses, sleds, and clubhouses out of cardboard boxes and the first thing you did after school was change into play clothes to race to the house with the best swingset or grab a snack to watch the Brady Bunch or the Monkeys.


Ok, well how would you feel if you made...
your daugther get this vaccine and then 10-20 years down the line she dies from some crazy side effect?!! Then you would have to live with the fact that YOU COULD HAVE prevented her death by just not making her get the shot!! Or what if one of the long-term side effects is sterilization or something else that is just awful, how would you feel then knowing you could have prevented it?! I absolutely do NOT believe in letting my little girl be a guinea pig so some politicians and drug company can become rich! No way is my daughter getting this until they have LONG-TERM studies that it's safe for her!
thanks -- this made me feel better. nm

You all have made me feel better already
I have cried off an on since last night. Not just a whimpy cry...I mean a REAL cry. One minute I feel like I am in control, the next, I feel like a 13 year old girl whose friends all went out and didn't invite her...kinda childish, huh?
Made me feel good anyway - sm
I can see where the girl gets it though. Really pathetic.

They moved in a couple houses down about 2 years ago and I started locking my front door not long after.

All the neighbors had a BBQ party one night not long after they moved and that is when we all got a taste of how their house is run. The husband seems like a nice guy and I actually pity the poor man.

We are in the front yard of another neighbor and the girl comes storming up to her mom whining about not having something, think it was about a water gun or something. Anyway, the mom looks at dad and I am NOT kidding... she said, "Dale, what are you going to do about this?"

She wanted him to drop everything and race to get her a bigger one... AND HE DID! The girl was what.. 13 then? Give me a break!

Not long after, the girl started coming over unannounced, uninvited, and would just walk right in and make herself at home. Go through the fridge, turn on the television, you name it.

Thought, okay, the kid is rude. Then her mom came over one day did one of these tricks of opening up the door without knocking and saying "Knock Knock! ANYONE HOME?" As she is walking into my kitchen in the BACK of the house. She started doing this often enough that I started keeping the door locked.

She also will stand out in your yard and, while she's talking to you, her little precious dog poops. She simply says, Oops! but leaves the POOP right where it lands!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

I've been made to feel like
I was born into dh's family. It's nice because my dad's only sibling, my aunt, lives at the southern end of the state and she's never been emotionally close to us and my mom's family is in England. Dh's aunts organize family barbecues at least 3-4 times a year just to keep the families connected.

It did not make me feel bad, but it made
x
So very sorry. Made me cry. But feel assured that your little one knows how much you love her.
nm
Well now you've made me feel worse!
Not your fault, just don't like this whole situation, as you can tell. I hate the idea of paddling. I spanked my kids a few times when they were younger but I honestly had no idea school districts still did this sort of thing.

If the principal/vice principal bruises my daughter you'd better believe I'll be in there Tuesday morning demanding some answers! Maybe I'll write on the slip "Only if soft enough not to bruise." There is NO EXCUSE for causing that kind of damage to my child. You say there is no bruising IF done by a thick wooden paddle or not done with one? Seems like that's what would bruise. I know they use a paddle, but I don't know any details about it, how thick it is or if it has any holes in it (which I assume makes it worse).

I don't think I'm going to sleep well tonight. This is so hard on a mom, you know. I like your extra pair of undies idea. I have a pair of control-top underwear that I've never worn before, I wonder if they'd fit my daughter. They're pretty padded.

Not happy.
Wellbutrin here, it's made a 200% difference in how I feel. (nm)
xx
The pill always made me feel awful - does Depo?
x
Thanks everyone, the thousand dollar post before made me feel CHEAP!
I will go with the gas card and some cash, good ideas. I think I got 10 bucks and told I had to start to pay more "board". Times are changing. I don't remember last time we gabbed about this subject but the gifts were way up there for high school. These sound more like what I can afford.
Venting sm

I just need to vent a little here. 


I drive an Explorer that's pretty much on its last leg (9 years old).  We're waiting until next year to get me a new vehicle.  My husband, on the other hand, drives the newer Taurus (only 2 years old).


I drive my 7-year-old daughter to and from school every day and also to jump rope class, etc. 


We plan to get the Explorer fixed next month.  In the meantime, I have asked my husband if I can drive his car (the newer one) on a couple of occasions, but he basically ignoerd me and I always ended up driving the Explorer.  Well, yesterday I told him I need to drive his car until the Explorer is fixed.  If I didn't have my 7-year-old with me, I probably would continue driving the Explorer.


He finally left his car for me to drive today, but he is so upset about it.  I don't understand it.  Shouldn't he want his wife and child to be in the safer, more reliable vehicle?


I don't think I should have to beg him to drive his car, especially since I'm driving our 7-year-old all around the city.  I also don't understand why he is upset.  


 


Somebody help!


 


 


 


venting about son
I am so sorry about your son. I know how you feel - I have been there too. My son is now 31, has schizophrenia, lives with us at the current time. We started with the problems in about 4th grade and went through counselors, doctors, hospitals, etc. forever. I know how hard it is to make the decision to place your child somewhere. Absolutely no one can tell you when the right time is. My son has been in the hospital several times, some short term stays and some long term stays. The longest time was when he was 15-16. Eleven months in Topeka, KS at Menninger Children's Psychiatric Hospital. We live in IL, so it was quite a trip. He did well there, but relapsed immediately upon discharge. Most of these kids with severe problems do need 24/7 maintenance to stay on track. It will get to the impossible stage for you both emotionally and financially, as well as physically. There are good group homes and there are bad group homes. If you go that route, check them out thoroughly. My prayers are for you and your little boy. Children like this will always be "our little boy/girl" to us. God's Blessings to you today and everday. Email me if you need to vent or just want more information. I have taught a class for NAMI and would be glad to listen.
venting...
I am not in the exact boat you are in. My child is 9. But my husband is as messy as a child. LOL!
If I had a 26-year-old daughter a home she would have to help out. I mean she has a free place to live so why shouldn't she help? I would tell her certain things she has to do. Like cook a few nights a week. Help clean even if it is on weekends when she is off. She needs to help you. As for your husband ask him to help you our with cooking sometimes and just pick up after himself.
venting to
Probably the next time your husband complains about not being able to find a job, he should not say anything in front of your son.

It would seem that your son perceives he was raised in a way that was unsympathetic, and so he is not feeling much sympathy for you either.

I am not sure if that requires an apology, but you can always request that a kid shut up and keep their opinions to themselves.
Venting update sm

Thanks for all the support and input.


I'm happy to say my husband is no longer upset about us switching cars.  In fact, he told me I can drive his car as long as I want.  I don't think he realized how unsafe it was for me to drive the Explorer. 


He's really a good husband/father, but we just had a problem with this car issue. 


Thanks again!  I love this board!


My mom and the kids- venting! (sm)

My mom came to visit and watch my kids while I work - I am paying her because she needs the money. My children are a 10 year old boy and a  7 ytear old girl.  They are generally well-behaved, never get in trouble at school, get in trouble sometimes at home for the usual kid stuff, but they are basically nice children.  My mom has a tendency to joke and play around with them a lot, but then gets offended when they try to play back. Yesterday they were feeling comfortable with her (only see her a couple of times a year) and they both dressed up in "spy" costumes and came out to spy on her.  When she "caught" them, they pretended to do karate chops and kicks - which they do with me regularly, very softly, never to inflict pain.  They did this to her and she is very angry, saying that my children "hit and kicked" her and that if they are bad again she is going to spank them.  Also, she has varicose veins on her legs and my daughter asked her what are those "cracks" in your legs?  So she is offended about that and therefore when my chubby son walked in without his shirt on this morning she asked, "what's wrong with your belly or is that just fat?" She has also been arguing with my son trying to convince him that there are ghosts and demons on earth (even though I asked her to stop) and when he said there were not, she got out the Bible and was trying to show him passages to prove it until I came out and made her stop.  Is everyone's mom like this?? Do they just forget that children are young and don't think like adults??


venting and angry
My daughter had this same problem 2 years ago. I finally called the doctor, and the nurse asked me if we have animals. I told her that we did, and she said that they need to be treated as well. So, along with treating my daughter, bagging all her stuffed toys, vacuuming and steaming everything else she had been in contact with I bathed the cats in a shampoo for animals that helps treat lice. We didn't have problems with them again. Maybe you should find out if this child's family has pets, and if so, make a suggestion that they treat them as well. I know this is a frustrating and expensive problem, but as was stated earlier, I think educating the child's mother is the Christ-like thing to do. If she gets angry about your help/suggestions, then you know that you did your part. Hang in there!!
Just venting somewhat about depressed parents sm

I feel the need to vent a little about my parents.  I talk sometimes with my hubby but he doesn't give much input.  I'm close with my parents (I'm 36 they are in their mid 50s).  My dad has always been controlling and negative (causing stress on our family).  I'm an only child.  I'm not going to go into deep details about stuff.  My parents are not financially stable. My mom is a hard worker, always has been.  My dad hasn't worked for almost 9 years.  He rehabs houses when he has one to rehab.  They are down in the dumps I think because of money.  My mom gets stressed out with her job and then not having financial help from my dad, that stresses her.  My dad is a negative person.  He lost his mom when he was in his 20s and I'm not sure if he believes in God.  He doesn't have faith at all.  He gets jealous when my kids stay the night with my in-laws (my parents like my in-laws). There's no talking with my dad.  The one time I tried to talk to him about something he said to me that hurt my feelings (I was 30), he didn't talk to me for a whole week.  Sometimes I feel guilty for being happy.  My hubby and I are fine financially, with our faith.  I wish I could sit them down and talk with them, but there would be nothing but negative talk coming from them.  I know that really you can't help someone unless they are ready to help themselves.  It's really hard to say exactly what I feel.  I love my parents, I want them to be happy, but then I feel like YOU are the only one who can change your life, or what makes you happy.  I don't want disconnect from my parents (they live a mile from us).  If my dad would just go get a job, I believe he'd feel so much better about himself.  Anyway, I'm really sorry for rambling on like this.  I just don't have anyone to talk to.  I sometimes feel responsible for my parent's happiness/unhappiness.  But growing up, I could never do anything right to please my dad, so I guess that's why I feel that way.  There's so much I could type about, but not going to.  There have been numerous times I thought to myself that I wish my mom would've never married my dad.  Anyway, thanks for listening.


Every year same old, same old at tax time Venting-

My husband and I never fight ----- until April. Then it's constant for about 2 weeks.


My hubby is self-employed. We've had a couple of rough years and for the past 2 years were unable to pay quarterly taxes. When tax time rolls around, bang! We're fighting like cats and dogs! He complains about how much he has to pay in every year I really don't blame him, as it seems like in his line of work, a lot of deductions are not allowed and it sucks.


In reality, we gotta get on top of the quarterlies again. Then it wouldn't hurt so much. He said he didn't make any money last year, but we still have to pay in over $8000 to the IRS. I really don't know how this could be either. Then he threatens to sell his equipment. Now for the next 3 months, all I'll hear is the complaining (putting it nicely). 


It upsets me when we fight, but I'm tired of hearing it all the time. I wasn't even going to tell him how much we owed but I didn't know where to get the money to quietly pay off the IRS.


Anybody want a wonderful husband for the next month or so? Just until he gets over it, then I want him back. (only kidding---he's a real keeper).


Thanks for listening. Any suggestions on how to get around this crappy tax thing, please let me know.


 


 


Since when is venting spiteful and immature?
You obviously have some bitter feelings on this topic. I suppose you were in a stepfamily that was all love n' peace?
Sick of the stereotyping... Not bashing just venting a little
I am the VERY PROUD mother of a well rounded well behaved 16 yo daughter. She doesnt make all A's but she does well. She has more worked more community service hours in the last year (as well as the past five) than any one we know of. BUT she is given hades by teachers, parents, and just about anyone who does not know her because they can tell just by looking at her that she is TROUBLE. The judge her because she wears gauges (ears only) likes baggy jeans (always wears a belt) and band T-shirts (usually black) and big hoodies or jackets- very similar to the boys in the pic. People are SOOO JUDGEMENTAL her friends have to sneak to be around her because their parents think she is a bad influence yeah my non-drinking non smoking baby girl who was home on prom night by 1030 because the "other kids were getting crazy".

Please before you judge kids think about how you would want others to treat your child. To quote my daughter " I am an individual! Not some mindless twit that just follows to belong!". So just try and remember how you would like your child/teen to be treated before you judge/react to someelses child.

Take care and have a MERRY X-MAS and dont forget to hug your teen.
My family made home-made mozzarella,
and it was very good. I was pretty small at the time, so I don't remember the exact process, just that it was done pretty quickly, and a lot of milk was used.

I don't know if you'll save a lot of money making your own cheese. The cost of milk is very high, too, and you need a lot of milk to make cheese.
well, I certainly hope that...sm

everyone on the plane wasn't hovering around this woman while she nursed...good grief!


Mind your own business and you'd never even know the baby was being nursed...dang!


By the way, at Disneyland.. how many butts and boobs did you see hanging out of shorts and tops?  Did *yo momma* report them to the security and hold them hostage while they were told to leave? Huh?  Doubt it!


Hope you are doing well... sm
I totally understand how you may be feeling. I was only able to get pregnant one time and lost the baby four weeks into the pregnancy, but I was the most pregnant woman in the world during that time. How special I felt; how special my husband and I felt together with this miracle growing inside me. Then, our world was shattered by the loss of the child we dreamt of. It took me a long time to get to a place in my heart where I could talk openly about the loss and grieve for our lost child. We prayed and prayed that God would bless us again, but it didn't happen the way we expected. I did not get pregnant again. Our little girl in heaven would be age 22 now.

Then, at the age of 40, when we had all but given up on parenthood, we met a 16-year-old unwed mother at our church. She was raising her infant daughter by herself and living in a shelter. She had decided to bring this child into the world instead of taking the easier road and aborting her. God bless her for that. She and her infant daughter came to live with us for over three years, restoring the joy of having a child to our home. For that time, we were content being "Nana and Pappaw." Then, the birth mom got involved with a man who wrecked her life and caused her to have to give up her child for adoption. We did not want this to happen to her, but the Lord intervened and we were able to adopt her daughter as our own. She is now 11 years old, is a wonderful child, bright, loving, and full of life. Her birth mom left the man who caused all the trouble, and God blessed her with a wonderful husband and a son. We now have contact with her new family by telephone, and she is like a daughter to us as well. Our 11-year-old daughter is so amazing, and so much like us that it is almost frightening! God, in His infinite wisdom, will restore you, just as He restored us. Trust in Him and trust His timing. We will be praying for you as you go through this chapter in your life. We are also in the State of Georgia, and you may email me at any time, should you need to talk to someone who has been there, and reassurance that God loves you and there are a lot of people out here praying for you. May God richly bless you throughout the holidays, and may you find His peace which passes all understanding.
Hope
Like the other MT said . . . I believe that there is a love match for every person on this planet.  This could be the "one".  Follow your heart.  It is better to have loved and lost than to never have been loved.  (Someone really great said that!)  Take it slow and enjoy the ride.  Have fun!
I sure hope so... but, we won't
give up on them.  We are season ticket holders (nose bleed section of course), but we love it.  Our daughter loves them more than our son, she has not had the opportunity to go to a game yet.  But one of the guys in front of us want to trade up some tickets so he can bring his family.  He has two seats and we have two seats, so maybe that will work out for next season.  It is a blast!  Of course, my Dad was from Southeast Philly, so I grew up on 'em.  I'm looking forward to the Phillies' games, too.  We do not have season tickets for them, but I wish...  if only....
I hope you are right..sm
I really don't think that for just a traffic ticket they would spend money to send some officer to another city to make good on a warrant, but you just never know. Depends on the judge who issued the warrant I guess. Your court records may be sealed, but I do believe the patitioner and defendent names are on a court dockett, and that is made public, though. If I remember right, it is posted by the court room door, but that is the state I live in. who knows. Either way, I wish you luck...with both your ticket and your child support issue! Think positive thoughts! :8]
Hope it is JT's but, sm
you are probably right. This may be old news, but she looks preggers in realy life. She and JT married in real life and it all happened so quickly most of her castmates didn't know until afterwards.
I so hope your dog does well sm
Our neighbor had the same problem with a mixed breed with a bit of terrier mixed in. It took her a bit longer to heal, but she is now doing wonderful. Isn't is amazing how much we love our furry friends? They will love us no matter what!!!
I hope you are right. Nothing would
be too severe. This country has to take a much harder look at this for so many reasons. We would love to think that everyone respects these beautiful creatures, but sadly not the case. In my local area alone the horror stories make me ill. I am going to put a post on about puppy mills the effect it had on my friend's dog.
I certainly hope not...
But I think she's way too selfish to get married any time soon.  I see them breaking up when he gets ready to get married (he's only 20), cause she's too wrapped up in herself to be a wife...or am I just wishful hoping???
hope

Has your daughter changed her mind yet?  The Navy sent my son's friend to Behran way back when the war first started.  The other poster had  marhvelous good luck with her husband and her sister and their Navy experience.


I hope they can get you right in!

Dentists where I am are few and far between and it's a real problem.  When I lost my childhood filling there, the tooth was too far gone to be saved.  Well, it could have been saved but the cost was as much as monthly mortgate and car payment combined, so it went bye-bye.  I balled my eyes out for almost 2 days because it was then that I realized I would probably wind up toofless the older I got, as I had no idea how expensive dental care was.  Having your own teeth should be a luxury, ya know?


You take care of yourself and it's good to "see" ya! 


hope you are still okay -

after the root canal I was great for 2 days - then pain hit again, radiating all over my jaw - still had no pain medicine - was ready to hit the streets!!! Needed more antibiotics and eventually and 2000.00 later I am okay.  I did get some relief from the Anbesol stuff and ice packs on my face.  Hope it's over soon.


I hope you had fun! sm
But I just can't go in those anymore.  We were just at the wax museum in Las Vegas and I just couldn't make myself go in the little haunted house there.  My friends said it was more funny than scary.  I have beeen getting more and more scared of them over the years but I made the HUGE mistake of going into that castle at Universal Studios and I didn't know it was a haunted house and I was TERRIFIED through the whole thing.  I held on to my friend's ponytail the whole way.  I think that was the last one I'll ever go in. 
Just one more! Hope these help someone!
Don’t think of her as gone away
Her journey’s just begun
Life holds so many facets
This earth is only one

Just think of her as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years

Think how she must be wishing
That we could know, today
Now nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away

And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched
For nothing loved is ever lost
And she is loved so very much

A Woman and a Fork

There was a young woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. Therefore, as she was getting her things “in order”, she contacted her Pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes.

She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in. Everything was in order and the Pastor was preparing to leave when the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her.

“There’s one more thing,” she said excitedly.
“What’s that?” the Pastor’s reply.
“This is very important,” the young woman continued. “I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.”

The Pastor stood looking at the young woman, not knowing quite what to say.
“That surprises you, doesn’t it?” the young woman asked.
“Well, to be honest, I’m puzzled by the request,” said the Pastor.
The young woman explained. “My grandmother once told me this story, and from that time on I have always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of encouragement.



In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, ‘Keep your fork.’ It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming…like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie. Something wonderful, and with substance!

So I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my hand and I want them to wonder, “What’s with the fork?” Then I want you to tell them: “Keep your fork, the best is yet to come.”

The Pastor’s eyes welled up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman and said good-bye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of heaven that he did. She had a better grasp of what heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge.

She KNEW that something better was coming.

At the funeral people were walking by the young woman’s casket. They saw the cloak she was wearing and the fork placed in her right hand.

Over and over, the Pastor heard the question, “What’s with the fork?” And over and over, he smiled.

During his message, the Pastor told the people of the conversation he had with the young woman shortly before she died. He also told them about the fork and about what it symbolized to her.

He told the people how he could not stop thinking about the fork and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either. He was right. So the next time you reach down for your fork, let it remind you, ever so gently, that the best is yet to come!


(When I read this the first time, it ended here)




Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us. Show your friends how much you care. Remember to always be there for them even when you need them more. For you never know when it may be their time to “Keep their fork”. Cherish the time you have, and the memories you share…being friends with someone is not an opportunity but a sweet responsibility.

Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND even if it means sending back to the person who sent it to you. And keep your fork!



I hope you get it! (sm)
I'm afraid it will be pretty wet snow that doesn't stick to the ground, but at least you and your kids will get to see it falling.

If the president is a devout Muslim, there will no alcohol served in the White House or on Air Force One, and he or she will have to pray 5 times a day. If it's a female Muslim, she'll be wearing scarves or a berka (sp?) depending on which Muslim tradition she follows.

There are just many variations among Muslims as there are among Christians.

In response to one of the posters, this country is NOT a melting pot - it is a salad bar. Lots of different items lined up in the same place, but each stays in their own spot. The melting pot was a remark made a newspaper columnist about a hundred years ago - wasn't true then, isn't now.

If we were a melting pot, we wouldn't have to press 1 to get English - we'd all be speaking it.
I hope it
never happens at all! I live in Utah!
I'm very sorry, and I hope
the vet warned you that it will take a long time for your property to be free of the parvovirus now. That means no dogs can visit your house or yard unless they are up to date on their parvo vaccines. So NO puppies since I think parvo isn't complete until 3 or 4 months of age.

You could post this on your local Craigslist. That would get the word out to a lot of people in your area about this shelter. Maybe then some action will be taken.
My hope for you is that..
you will take time for yourself, realize that you are the most important person in your life and make you number one. I don't want to argue with you...as a fellow (kind of funny word to use) woman, I want you to be the best you can be and make sure others know how great you truly are!
I sure hope not!!!
