Childish and irrational vent

Tess12

The joy-suckers are at it again.  And I've had it with them.

We got some good news today (financial) and nobody is enjoying it but me.  And now I'm getting grumpy, too.

My husband was in a bad mood today and, though he was glad about the news, he didn't really want to talk about it.  We've been tightening our belts for a while now and I really wanted to talk about the future and our plans and I was disappointed that he just was not interested. 

Then I call my mother and she was trying to tell me what to do with the money.  (Btw, I didn't tell my mother about it.  She got the info from a third party.) I just had no patience today.  I really wanted to say, "I'm 37 years old.  Stop telling me what to do!!!!!"

In the grand scheme of things, so not a big deal, but I'm bugged anyway.

Edited: to delete info that I decided was too personal.

I am sorry.   But, congrats on your good news!

Thank you.  I just needed to get it out so I wouldn't be passive-aggressive to people IRL.

I understand.  This can be the best place to vent.  I do hate it when IRL people (especially family) can't just be excited about good news.
