Monday Bitchfest

I didn't see this yet so let's hear it ladies!

Re: Monday Bitchfest

  • My DH likely destroyed his engine on his car because he has literally not even checked the oil in it in 15 months. I had to drive it today and got to deal with it crapping out on me while I was out driving with my client in the car. He's not a moron either, he knows how to change the oil, and do minor repairs on cars. But even when I told him his oil light was on the last few times I've had to drive it he just ignored me. So yeah, an hour of his time and twenty dollars could have saved his car. Now it's at the mechanic shop, costing 100 to even find out how badly damaged it is and we will have to see if it's even worth fixing at this point. I might not be a mechanic, but I can tell you a car needs oil and his was bone dry.

  • @sandbar517, holiday schedules are the worst! 
    DH's parents are divorced so we have to try and figure it out for 3 houses. Luckily, his mom doesn't have a set thanksgiving tradition so we do nothing with her. Sorry, but traditions mean a lot to me and I like to have things like this figured out more than a month in advance. Especially because they live 2 hours away.
    We have always done my family thanksgiving in the past. Last year we split it since his aunt hosts his dad's whole side and they're an hour from us, but it was too much. So I said we'd spend the whole time with his family. It's the only time of the year we will be able to see most of his extended family. 
    Christmas is a little easier, but still I end up with new grey hairs after January rolls around.
  • @sandbar517 I hear ya! Last year my MIL was so mad because she kept trying to FaceTime us while we opened presents and had breakfast on Christmas morning. She just moved back in to town a couple years ago and we said straight up if you want to see us come over. But she decided to go to Texas the week before Christmas and then mad because we wouldn't just FaceTime all morning for her to see DS open presents. No that's not happening. Be here or miss it. 
  • Also I've not been in much of an angry mood most of this pregnancy. Nauseous and annoyed at pregnancy but not really bitchy. Today, I'm straight up pissed and will let all my pregnancy rage fly at anyone who even steps a toe on my bad side. 
  • @suchaglencoco I think that's been the hardest part.  Everyone has their own traditions, and it's hard to combine them, especially now that we have kids.  Sometimes you have to let go of your own traditions and make new ones, and that's hard for everyone.  One of MH's favorite traditions was going to his mom's house late on Christmas Eve and exchanging gifts with his mom's best friend.  They've done it since they were little, and once he got older they finally told him it was because they always asked her to come over and entertain him and his sister so they could be upstairs wrapping their gifts!  But after we had kids, it was one of those things that just didn't work out anymore.  There was no way I was dragging my kids out of our house at 8, 9 o'clock (or later) just to go over and exchange gifts with a family friend (that lives two blocks away from his mom and we see quite often).

  • @sandbar517, my big issue is feeling guilty for not attending everything. And I hate to leave my mom alone on holidays, but it got to the point where I was getting myself too worked up. And my brothers have no problem leaving my mom alone, and my mom is ok with it, so it was all me on myself. 
    She is more than welcome to come with us to his side's thanksgiving and she is choosing to see her brother instead. So I am trying to not feel bad about our decision. 

    And if my mil demanded to Facetime like that, I'd laugh in her face. It's different if they'e states away and ask to Facetime for a few minutes with everyone opens their gifts, but the entire time is ridiculous! 
  • My son's school just called to check on me because he told them this morning that I died last night..... I'm too tired for this crap...
    Oh my goodness
  • My son's school just called to check on me because he told them this morning that I died last night..... I'm too tired for this crap...
    Wow.  
  • @ladystinson Geez!!!!!!!!! I guess you have a fun talk ahead of you this evening!

    also just got the call. Our car is damaged beyond repair as the mechanic said. So there's that. Last night's nookie might be it for a while...
  • @ladystinson OMG!  That's intense.  How old is DS?
  • @ladystinson Geez!!!!!!!!! I guess you have a fun talk ahead of you this evening!

    Oh no!  I would be so pissed!!
  • @ladystinson details please!! Why would he say that? I’m sorry but I am laughing. Kids are the greatest. 

    @theletlers I’d be so furious. He’d be lucky if I even talked to him that night.

  • @sandbar517 I'm already so over christmas this year and I usually LOVE christmas. Too much drama and feeling sick makes me not want to even celebrate which is really sad :(
  • OMG I am with everyone else about not caring about feelings for the holidays. DH's extended family and his ILs who has pretty much treated me like crap since we got married wants us over for every holiday but I am sorry why would I be miserable on days that are supposed to be enjoyable. We have now decided Thanksgiving is at our house that way we invite the ILs and they have a chance to spend a holiday with us and Christmas at my sisters or Grandma's house. DH's family throws a christmas party the weekend after and we decided to keep our marriage intact it is healthy for me to go to one family gathering a year. His cousin got married this summer so that was my one event for the year lol. DH's family bitches that they cant spend time with their great niece which is apparently their only connection to MIL who died last year but they literally only want to play with her or hold her when I am not around and I dont play that shit. 

    I know last pregnancy I was moody but I dont remember being soooooo angry. I feel like I am always bitching but it has to be the hormones. I feel like I am moody most of the day but when my ILs are brought up it is straight up rage. Its like the busiest time for work right now for the rest of the year and I am dealing with lots of frustrated students who take their anger out on me so thats fun.  
  • I'm glad we've never lived near family and had to deal with holiday shenanigans after reading these!

  • That should not be funny but... It was kind of hilarious. At least they cared to check?
    I too laughed way for hard at this. I can totally see this in my future.
    And yes, please to all the details.

    @theletlers I'm sorry about the car.
  • ladystinson This happens more than you would think with little kids....don't know why.

    @sandbar517 And that is why I hate the holidays.  
  • I never realized just how often toddlers get sick. I nursed DS through April of this year and he didn’t get sick much while nursing. This fall I feel like he is catching one bug after another. This time it’s diarrhea and I’m praying it goes away quickly and without vomit. We have a 5 hour flight home in 2 days and I’m praying it will be uneventful.
  • @theletlers Oh geeze!! What an eventful wedding! Sounds like some interesting in-laws....
  • @theletlers that sounds like somethjng out of a TV show. Yikes!
  • @babys_2018 @mileswithmyles you have no idea!!! My family is just loud and the silly kind of crazy. DH's is just straight up f*cked up sometimes!
  • @theletlers Oh my gosh. That’s something that would be funny on a tv show but the fact that someone would actually do that is ridiculous. And then it causing a tantrum from your 2 year old...oh I would’ve been fuming 
  • My toddler has the stomach flu and idk wtf to do. Literally crying in Walmart to escape for a few minutes. DH is being a dick about the whole thing. And I’m terrified to catch it. So yeah. Monday’s. 
  • Wow.  All of these stories are making me rather grateful for my own level of drama.  I once read a quote that I haven't been able to find since and it was something along the lines of, "If everyone in the world put all their problems in a pile, which then had to be split into equal parts for everyone to take back, most people would be content to take their original problems and leave."  This is so true for me after reading these stories!  
    @theletlers I would barely be speaking to MH, let alone nookie.  There would be none of that for a very long time.  And I'm pretty sure you won the crazy in-law contest.  Wowsers.
    @ladystinson I, too, am laughing harder than I should.  Where do kids come up with these crazy stories?? 
    @poppy0419 I'm so sorry your little one is sick.  I hope they feel better soon, and that you are able to avoid it.

  • @Poppy0419 I feel for you. I don’t handle DS being sick well, ESPECIALLY the stomach bug. I’m sorry your husband isn’t being helpful. Hoping your little one recovers soon and that you don’t get sick
