Let's hear some letters you shouldn't really send. I'll start:
Dear Hubby:
While I appreciate your effort, please note that doing the laundry does not mean throwing the clothes into the washer and then the dryer and leaving them for me to fold. It especially doesn't mean throwing them in the the wash and leaving them wet for a day so I have to rewash them anyway (but really thanks for the text from work asking me to rewash the load you left in from yesterday).
Thanks,
Your over worked, under appreciated wife
P.S. The lint catch doesn't empty itself.
Re: Time to vent: Dear __________
Dear Toddler:
Telling me "Don't go! Don't go! Don't go!" when I have to leave for work really rips my heart out and reminds me how much I hate not being a SAHM. Please stop so I can at least pretend that you are okay with not having mommy around 24/7.
Love,
Mommy
Please give me a baby.
Love, All of us on TTC>35

Dear boss,
You are the most insensitive human alive and have the heart of an ogre. Your pathetic attempt at sympathy asking me how IVF is going, was just your slimy way of bringing up my infertility once again. Thanks for that. And then stating that "I will have to choose between starting a family or using my time for a vacation", I so graciously might add you approved 2 months ago. So I hope somehow you survive after all this bad karma comes back around to you, because you are in for a lifetime of shit. You are a bitch and a monster. All of your employees hate you and also want to leave, but they are too afraid of you to ever stand up to you. That and you fire people who do. I can't wait till I can leave your terribly run company forever.
Sincerely,
Your angry Infertle employee

@Melissamiso, you might regret giving me this template. I'm having a bad day.
Dear Daughter,
I know transitioning to a new daycare is scary, and I'm sorry you're having such a tough time. It breaks my heart to leave you every morning when you're so sad. Staying up all night every night is not the answer, though. Your father and I are exhausted--please take it easy on us?
Dear Husband's Employer,
While I understand that your reduced work force is awesome for your shareholders (proooooofits! Whee!), my husband's ~70 hour workweek is not awesome for our family. I know it's a foreign concept, but you should be ashamed.
Dear Body,
One (huge) dominant follicle after (only) 3 days of meds? Just one? Do things right!
Dear RE,
I'm not an expert, obviously, but it seems to me that Tuesday's weirdly high E2 reading and today's weirdly large (SINGLE) follicle are probably related. Can you please pay more attention to stuff like this? I think it would save me some trouble. On a related note, why do you have to be located waaaay out there in the suburbs? Getting up at the crack of dawn to drive 1.5 hours each way for my probing and bad news is not fun.
Dear Other Drivers on the Edens Expressway,
Where are you all going at 6:00 in the morning? And why are you so rude?
Dear Golfers, Inventors of Golf, Inventor of the Golf Outing as a Concept, and Whichever Development Person Decided that Our Agency Needed to Have One,
You know what you did, and you know what you can do.
Dear Weather Gods,
RE: Summer 2014,
Really? That was it? Pathetic.
Dear Rest of the World,
I'll get to you after my nap.

So yes, my boss gets to do our family planning. Maybe I should let her name the LO too.

Your irrational emotional attacks of your employees followed by acting like nothing is wrong really shows your crazy personality disorder. Stop it.

Your underpaid peon
Dear Coworker,
I do not need to hear the details of your life ALL DAY LONG. We work in cubicles...the wall is thin and not soundproof and I can hear every conversation you have on your cell phone and work phone. You know this. You are here to work. If you do not wish to work , then please limit your screwing off to written conversations such as emails and internet message boards. Like I do.
Your irritated coworker.
*Siggy Warning*
About me 2007: Started TTC. 2008: OB prescribed clomid, went to RE and was Dx with PCOS. 2009: IUI #1 w/follitsim and trigger = BFP. B/G Twins born at 33 weeks. 2012: TTC #3, Round 2 of Letrozole w/TI = BFP, missed m/c at 8 1/2 wks. Currently on the bench as we make plans for a new home. Anxious to start TTC #3 within the next year!
Dear Mom,
You drinking excessively the day before my wedding and making yourself look like a complete jackass is unacceptable. It’s also unacceptable that you forgot my corset, veil and custom-made sash….especially after I texted you about it 4 times.
You also telling the entire family the private conversations we have and then trying to turn them against me is wrong. I love you, but damn it, I beg you to STOP DRINKING so much.
Love,
Your Angry/Worried/Confused Daughter
