FFFC's ... where are they?

I need to feel that I'm not alone in my stress and misery, lol. This week has been tough. So bring on the FFFCs. I don't have a confession per se, just feeling generally craptastic this week, not sure why but must be all the little annoyances that are adding up lately. I need a vacation really badly! Paradise

Re: FFFC's ... where are they?

  • Not sure if this is a FFFC but my DF's family (his mom, sister, grandparents) has been driving us crazy about babysitting DS while we work-this is the only time we ask them to watch him.  They biitched when I didn't have a job now they biitch if we ask them to babysit.  They know full well that if I had to pay for child care I might as well not work.  vent over  :-P

  • The house looks like a tornado struck, and I don't even care.  I have prioritized doing yoga, napping, and piddling around on the computer above making sure the house is clean.

  • The last time I typed a FFFC it didn't post.  I took it as a sign that I was being too bitchy, so let's try this.  Tomorrow is my daughter's family birthday party, I am sincerely hoping that all members of my family behave and remember that it is not about them or all of their various issues.  I am only asking that they display the same manners that they would show a stranger on a bus.  Seriously do not talk to me about YOUR problems, do not talk to me about how hard YOUR life is or YOUR money issues.  Please, for just two hours, remember to be an aunt or an uncle or a grandmother.  We can turn our focus back on you next time. Please, for the love of Mike, PLEASE
  • Not really FFFC, maybe more of an unpopular opinion or something: the phrases "...like a champ" and "it's a game changer" make me feel stabby. Teeth gnashingly stabby.

    The one that gets me is "let's take it offline" - translation, "I don't feel like answering your question right now, so let's table it until it is convenient for me"  Argh!

    Adding another one to my list, and this is the first I've heard it. Although, I might use this one when I go back to work ;~p

    I could have written this myself when we lived in Florida. My parents were all for me going back to work after maternity leave but then biitched constantly about watching LO all day while I worked. That's the main reason we moved to another state so DH could have a better job and I could work less. Now they complain they miss LO, they are never happy!!!
