Clearly, I have to apologize...

Nita2603

....for all the grief I cause my surroundings because I got sick. My poor boys who are not taken care of by me but their dad who is clearly trying but just cannot help but being inferior because he is not a woman.
My poor husband who has to take care of his own kids and me, his sick wife.
My poor in laws, who are probably worried sick about the grand kids and their BABY.
My poor MiL who is reminded by me having mastitis that she doesn't have boobs any more.
The poor dog who is now getting only one 5k walk a day because DH cannot get out more often. Poor kitties, too.

And most of all, my poor, poor, PoOR mother. She is SO UPSET about this horrible illness and grief I have caused her. So upset that she got diarrea. And she is so worried about the grand kids as they feel something is wrong and poor big A, seeing me with an IV. Especially after we robbed him of being an only child. So upsetting to her. She is in physical pain because of me having mastitis. Yes, she is. And because she cannot help out but mil can and that is not fair. Oh, and THAT is why it is so bad that we live in Canada and not Germany. How could I cause her so mucky upset during the holidays where she already misses her grand kids and her daughter? And what did I do wrong to bring this on?

Yeah, there was a phone call today. I am sorry I have upset everyone with my inferior teat and especially with my horrible healing skills. Please do not cry for my boob, I promise the only one hurt is me.
Well, and my mother, who feels physically bad because I was so reckless and evil to intentionally get sick.

Please accept my apologies.

Oh wait. That doesn't make any sense? Wow. Right. Please tell me why I didn't become a mad serial killer? Because sometimes, just sometimes it feels like I could be. Or even should be.

I sure hope you heal soon. Having asssholes in your life definitely aren't helping the process. I'm sorry your mom sucks, I really do. Big Internet hugs!

I think we should take up a collection to send your mom on a looong vacation. Somewhere deep in Siberia, with no computers or phones.

Wow! That is nuts! She's off her rocker!

Shame on your boob, Nita! Shame on your boob! It didn't even consider your mother's feelings.

Maybe our resolutions should include doing a better job of ignoring our mothers???

I am so sorry that your family is not being supportive of you and helping out more while you are ill. I hope that you will get better soon and that YH will be more helpful.

Just to clarify, everyone is really helpful except my mother! She is the one who tells me how much my illness affects everybody else. The ILs and DH have been amazing!

This sucks balls. I mean your illness and the salt on the wound you got. I hope the first chance you get, you throw back a stiff drink and blow a kiss to the wind.

Nita, everyone in the Oct board loves you. Partly because you speak your mind and have clever comebacks. Partly because you were the first to hit the 2u2 mark in our board. Partly because of your dog almost kicking someone's arse to protect you and A. Partly because you plowed through your struggles with BF/pumping this time like a rockstar. Partly because your mom is so nuts, she sounds like a member of Penny's family or my SIL's long lost twin. But MOSTLY, we love you because besides having 2u2 and the youngest being colicky, and having a crazy mom, you have somehow managed to be one of the strongest people I know...probably out of real life people I know too.....because you haven't killed anyone in the processes. If I was you, your mom would have been the first to go.....

You just made me cry. Thank you. My husband is eyeing me from across the room and probably thinks I lost it.

I was in Siberia for 2 weeks. It really is an awful place. There is no hand soap anywhere and sometimes no running water or toilets. But they do have Internet.

LOL! What the heck were you doing in Siberia?? I guess we can just send Nita's mom to my cabin in Nova Scotia where there's none of the above!
