Im unhappy in my relationship. I'm not sure how to make it better. The kids, J and I were all set to spend the week at camp next week during my vacation. I think I'm going to take the kids up north to spend time with my family instead and just leave J home.

I think that message boards are becoming a really bad influence on society.  

Case in point the kerfluffle with the changes on the Knot, Nest and Bump.  There were demands for the company to provide certain activities/actions that the posters have used on other sites.

Ok, so they go out and try to do that and it does not work properly.  And while the Company could and should have done things differently, the response by the regulars is just crazy cakes.  

Leaving and creating your own message board is one thing, but the nasty commentary and blatant member stealing A FULL *** YEAR LATER is another. If you don't like it, leave.  But coming back again and again and again to sabotage this place is beyond childish.

And I do believe that because of the annonymity of a message board people not only subconsciously meaner but purposefully so.  Meaner, cliquishly, and faster to response without real reading comprehension. 

Trying to moderate here has gotten nastier and nastier over the last 6 years.

I dont respect BM. She goes out drinking all the time and tells the girls in advance so they can find somewhere to stay and if they can't arrange a sleepover then they go to grandmas house. She always takes her vacations without the girls to drink with her boyfriend and summer is her annual 2 month bar crawl on our dime since the girls are here. She is supposed to move their stuff to their own rooms and paint. SD doesn't think it'll get done because "mom isn't very motivated". BM then complains that they like it at our house better.

She works at a daycare and got "kicked out" of the toddler room. She is now with the infants which is a horrible fit because when I was pregnant she went on and on about how much she doesn't like babies and how disgusting they are. She let's SD2 feed the babies she watches. I feel bad for the babies and their parents and I want to know why she was kicked out of the toddler room.

She just disgusts me as a person even though its not THAT bad like some of the people others are dealing with on here.

I completely forgot to post mine! My confession is that I have to hangout with my MIL tomorrow and I'm dreading it. I think my MIL is basically an older version of BM. She kept DH's BD from him for years. She told him horrible things about his BD. She made him call his SF dad, all just like BM. She is a nice lady but has never put her son first and has never tried to encourage him to be somebody. My DH is the man he has become today despite his mother and not because of her. I really see my SS being the same way. It is the only thing that gives me hope for his future when I hear BM say things like D's are still passing grades and therefore acceptable. When I hear MIL complain about BM all I think is that you were just like her and you can't even see it. I feel bad because I love DH's SM and sometimes wish she were his real mom instead.

This is a late one but I really am irritated. I made steak tonight for dinner for all of us. Not something we do a lot but h and I are on low carb so its something different but still sticks to our diet. Okay...going back to the point.....I really don't want to make steak anymore for SS. He complains every.single.time. he has it. Whether its at home, restaurant, I cook it, H cooks it...doesn't matter. It's either too chewy, too hard, too pink so he thinks its not cooked, too much spice, on and on. I kind of am at this point where I'm not going to make steak for him because he also throws it away well now I make him save any leftovers for LO...I finally broke him of that, especially after I found almost a whole frozen pizza in the garbage and I'm not exaggerating.nbsp;Its not about being cheap and just making him a burger, but at the same time if you are going to complain all the damn time then why bother? I know I'm no Emerill but I thought it was pretty nbsp;tasty.nbsp;

I hate to admit this but we do this for SDs. We love ribeyes but they're expensive and we get similar comments. We rarely get them but when we do, the girls split a sirloin.

I've been really angry about the medical/dental stuff with K all day today.  So much so, that I started thinking, "If I have to do all this for K, that means DH isn't going to help with PJ".  Then I started thinking about how frigging selfish it is that BM knew K was getting a second root canal today and didn't bother calling or texting to see how K did.  Which led to me being angry about BM constantly badmouthing me and saying that I'm taking over her duties as a mother.  Do I really want to deal with her crap for the rest of my life?  Do I really want to keep being the responsible parent for K all while getting badmouthed and bashed for everything?

And then I crunched numbers to see what DH would have to pay me in CS each month and started pricing different houses and condos in my area should I decide to walk.  I factored in what DH would have to pay me monthly for the business we purchased and other investment accounts.  Yes, I am that angry.

I know.  I know.  I cannot even believe I'm thinking these things but I am.  I'm tired and worn down.  I'm frustrated at being the verbal punching bag and scapegoat.
