Participation Thread! - Letters I'll Never Send
I figured since we're all grouchy lately, and B&M Monday doesn't seem to be cutting it, we could try this. Hopefully airing some of it will help!
Write a quick email/letter that you wish you could send, but never will.
Here's what's irking me today:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Ladies I work with,
Your bathroom habits are atrocious. The minimum age to work for our company is 18. At this point, you should know how to flush a toilet, and not get pee on the seat. If you DO get pee on the seat, clean it up!
You should also have figured out how to wash your hands without flooding the counter. I'm 9 months pregnant. I can't reach the fvcking tap without leaning against the edge of the counter. I shouldn't have to wipe it down like a maid before I can even wash my hands.
When removing your tampon, it's usually a good idea to have some TP handy to wrap it in, so you don't drip blood on the floor and the lid of the garbage. Ew. Just.... Ew.
I don't even know whose house it's safe to visit, so I'll never pay any of you a social call.
Sincerly,
The pregnant lady who is seriously considering the 3 flights of stairs to the other open floor to go pee.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Babci,
If you're dying, you really need to try and contact my mom yourself. I hate trying to play the mediator. I also hate feeling obligated to accept heirlooms from you because I know they should go to my mom, but you're too stubborn to send them directly to her.
I appreciate that you want to help out with things for the baby, but at the same time, I feel like you're trying to buy my favour, since you can't communicate with your own daughter.
Please, for everyone's emotional and mental wellbeing, send my mom an email with the apologies you keep sending to me instead.
Love,
Your conflicted granddaughter

Dear Customers,
Yes, I understand it's a holiday weekend, and you want your internet service to work. However, the fact that it's a holiday weekend is exactly the reason we have restricted tech hours for the next few days.
Why do you think you should get extra time off, but our employees shouldn't? Not having internet service is not a life-or-death situation. Like you said - it's a holiday weekend. Go celebrate with your family or something!
And I don't care if you're using it for your business. If you weren't so cheap, and paid the $90 for business class instead of trying to swindle us by using residential on a $19.99/month promotion, you WOULD be getting a tech out first thing tomorrow morning. When you tell me you're using it for a business and need a sooner tech, I don't want to help you, I want to report you to our abuse department for violating your terms of service.
If I didn't need this job to cover my maternity leave pay, I'd be disconnecting all of your accounts the second you get rude with me.
Sincerely,
The person you think it's okay to verbally abuse because you're on the phone, hundreds of miles away.

Dear Baby,
I love you but I know labor is going to hurt. If you could stop giving me previews of how painful it will be and leave my vagina alone, I promise I'll be a better Mommy.
Love,
Your Mama
Dear SIL,
You are dumb. Your bf will never leave his wife. If he does leave his wife, what makes you think he wont do the same to you. Who is to say that he doesn't have another on the side already? You think he is awesome, yet he is immature and a coward of a man. I pitty you for the lack of respect you have for yourself. I am sick and tired of hearing how you want to change your life, yet when given the opportunities to do so, you refuse? I am tired of hearing your bs.
Due to your lifestyle decisions you will never be around our child without our supervision. Yes, you may be a grown woman, but we do not want you to have an influence on our child. Not to mention you have no problem having "a few beers" and driving. You may not feel buzzed, but you are not taking my child anywhere while under the influence.
Sincerely,
The Wicked Witch
Dear Boss,
I love you dearly I do. But, your co-dependancy on me is beyond ridiculous. June 4th is my last day of work before this baby comes wether you like it or not. You need to be at work and not doing other things. This is not my studio and I have no stock in it. I love my job and everyone there but I am also 36 weeks pregnant with SPD (which means I am in agnozing pain almost every minute of every day) and you need to try and understand this.
Grow some ovaries. You need to take control of your life, I can't do it for you.
Sincerely,
Your overworked and underpaid employee
Dear Exhusband,
I hate you. I truly do. I have tried so hard for so long to be cordial and work with you but you are just simply too much of a pansy for me to deal with anymore. I hate you.
Sincerely,
The B!tch
Dear Internet,
Why do you have to have so much porn? It tempts our husbands, boyfriends, etc. and it occasionally makes us feel like sh*t. Sure it shouldn't affect us "normal" women out there because we are secure in who we are, but it does and I don't care what anyone else says. And even if I wanted to look at it, it makes me feel creepy and dirty.
Sincerely,
A non-pornstar

Love the grow some ovaries remark. And I am pretty sure I hate your ex-husband too!
Heres mine:
Dear H,
I am sorry if I am not super exciting atm, or in your words "vanilla", but let me remind you that I am 9 months pregnant with your spawn. While I love him already, he causes me pain everywhere, makes it so I cannot sleep, walk, or poop, and all I want to do is sleep and pee all day long. You have been very supportive until now, so I ask that you please pull your head out of your ass and get over it.
Love You,
Vanilla

Dear Mom,
You drive me crazy. You always have, but it has gone to a new level. I am glad you are excited to have another grand child, and I know this one is special because I was your first, and this is my first. But chill out. I will not be having this baby to suit your needs. I know you want to meet him, but if I can wait 3 more weeks, you can wait 3 more weeks.
I get that you dont like our name choices, but they are our choices and we love them. You had your turn, now its mine.
I know you realize you will not be in the delivery room, but I secretly fear that you will somehow find a way in by taking advantage of our preoccupation with other things. No one else is allowed into the room either, but I only fear this from you. Please know that if this happens and I curse at you or throw things, it doesn't mean I dont love you.
I do not need you to constantly insist I get an epidural, and tell me I cannot do it without one. I believe I can, and either way I am going to try. All your nagging will do is make me prove you wrong. I understand labor was hard for you, you have told me all my life. If I had any choice in the matter I am sure I would have chosen to make my birth easier on you.
I am glad you are so excited and know he will be loved, but really, let me enjoy my pregnancy in peace.
Sincerely,
The result of your 36 hour labor
Edited to correct 3 hour labor to 36!

Dear Toilet Paper,
I hate you, and yet am so dependent on you at this point. You claim to be "extra-strong" and yet you leave lint all over me. It's hard to clean off lint that I can't see. You are not extra strong. You are weak. I would end things with you if it weren't for the fact that I pee every 2 hours, if not more.
Sincerely,
Linty and not loving it
Every 3 or 4 pees, or if I have to poop, I use a Charmin Wet Wipe, which definitely helps with this!

Dear Cousin,
You are naive white trash. Don't get me wrong I love you but I will never get passed and accept the fact that you stole your now husband from his first wife. Don't you understand the fact that he was willing to cheat on his first wife with you so whats to stop him from cheating on you? I'll tell ya right now nothing will stop him seeing as how after you guys got married he would hit on both me and my sister.
Sincerely
Your ashamed cousin
Dear Mom
YOU ARE DRIVING ME INSANE. I have come to terms with the fact that you bought us everything for our baby (travel system,crib,changing table,highchair) even thought we didn't ask or hinted at you to do so. We wanted to do it ourselves but appreciate it. I appreciate the baby shower you threw me. But Im getting sick and tired of you calling multiple times a day to see how Im feeling and to see if I have gone into labor. You may visit (maybe) while Im getting induced but your kidding yourself if you honestly think I will let you in the delivery room. I'm not afraid to have the nurses kick you out. And I swear to god if you barge in the room as soon as you hear a baby crying like you did with my sister I will never forgive you. What part of this is a special moment between me and my husband do you not understand? And by the way mom I am fully capable of cleaning my house myself you should know seeing as how I cleaned yours for you all the time when I lived with you.
Sincerely
Your married, grown up, fed up daughter who you still try to control

Dear Older Brother,
Please show some humility. The fact that you are 29, moved back home w/ the folks for the 4th time because of the 6th job that has not "worked out" should ground you a little bit. No, I am no longer bitter that you had to get engaged to that crazy woman cause you were mad I was getting attention about my upcomming marriage (don't miss her now do we?). No, I am no longer mad that my getting pregnant had to be overshadowed by your weight loss last fall (way to put it all back on). I am not even mad that everytime you are near me you interrupt me constantly and when someone asks me how I am doing you answer for me and then talk about yourself. I AM mad that you, for the past 6 months, have leached off my poor parents while not looking for a job because you were considering going back to school. I am mad that you laugh at how you have been playing World of Warcraft for 6 hours a day and lie to our poor parents that you were looking for work. And I am SUPER mad that you werent going to move home until you found out that our darling parents renovated one of the bedrooms so that LO would have a place to stay and they would have a nice office for once. The fact that there was now this super nice room all finished all of a sudden made their house "worthy" of you and you decided to move back home for a bit...now the crib, new desk, futon, etc are all in the basement while your lazy ass is playing WOW. Poor Dad lost his office and you are having a summer like you are 16 again....not freakin cool. Get a job and go away. Oh and gaining more weight than a pregnant lady because you are glued to your video games? GROSS!

Dear MIL,
From the moment we met, I've seen you treat your children horribly including my DH. You chose to be with a disgusting man, after your divorce, who's life purpose was to make your family miserable, including you, and you endured it for so long while making it a point to push your kids out of your life. I don't understand how you could have even let your 16 year old daughter around this man. DH was always there for you and his family during many "scares" this man caused. After witnessing this for 5 years now including DH's pain, I am numb to you and have lost so much respect. So, now, after a year and a half of you and your son not speaking you decided to separate from this man and are now back in the picture. Although I am grateful you made the decision to be in your family's life and your future granddaughter's, you make it impossible for me to have a relationship with you. You continue to be petty and demanding. You do not realize that I have a mother of my own who I'm so incredibly close with and continue to give us grief when we visit her and my father for possibly an hour more than we would with you. Or that she also counts on Mother's Day! You keep tabs, you are nasty to me when I'm nice, you are so selfish. I only hope that one day I will be a MIL who is nothing like you. I will not tolerate any of your crap once I am a mother myself. Please grow up and learn how to deal with life, because I cannot do it for you.
Sincerely,
Your DIL
Dear Mother,
Please know that I am not living with you because I want to, when I choose to go live with my father (who has done so much more for me than you ever did) the idea was to never live under the same roof as you. While I know neither one of us enjoys this, please grow up. You are selfish, pull your big girl panties on and admit it. You wants do not trumps our needs. Cigarettes are a want not a need. Bills need paying, food needs buying, the car needs gas to get to the places we need to go, and your future granddaughter needs diapers, bottles, and possible formula. You will not die with out your cigarettes. And please quit saying your going to "quit." Quitting is not buying a new pack of cigarettes when you just bought a pack the day before. Please quit acting as if me asking you to step outside to smoke is such a hardship. It's not. It's also not a hardship for you not to smoke in the car. You know it's not healthy for your future granddaughter or me, and that I can not stand the smell.
-Thanks,
Your daughter

To my Uncle's wife whom I lovingly refer to as Aunt B!tch and all your evil spawn!,
Your financial problems are not my Grandmother's problem. In case you don't remeber her husband of 56 years just passed away in February and left her in a financially tough situation herself! She couldn't even afford a gravestone and his military pension isn't helping her financially right now. For years you and your children have taken advantage of my grandparents. You used them for free babysitting and always insisted they help you because you refuse to help yourself.
I know I am only the oldest child of their oldest son...but since my father passed away in 1999 and I have been in charge of their estate along with their second son since my 23 birthday I think I have every right to tell you to get over yourselves! Not to mention how disrespectful some of you were at my grandfather's funeral....you have no idea how much I wanted to tell you off then!
Dear Aunt B!tch...We already know that you've cheated on my uncle several times...in fact most of us question the paternity of your youngest child. If your are in such dire need of money why dont you just become a prostitute...granted no one will pay you very much and you'll have to work hard but hey....you were just going to cheat on my uncle again anyways. And please stop belittling my uncle and the 2 (out of 5) children you had with my uncle...if you really wanted them to take initiative to get off their a$$es and help then you would encourage them instead of insist that they are good for nothing.
To the children who still live at home with them. Two of you are over 20. You both seem so lazy and think you are soo entitled to everything. You are the most disrespectful people I know. Stop whinning and posting things online about how your electric was turned off (I dont even know how you are online in the first place if you dont have electric). Get off your butts get some jobs and help your parents pay their bills....after all you still live in their house and I know after I turned 18 I had to pay my share of utilities and bills when I lived at home. It really isn't too much to ask!
The first thing I suggest you all get rid of, since you are in such financial trouble, are your expensive cell phones...deffinatly not a necessity and I assume that is the only way you've been able to post all of your comments on facebook. I won't even go into the fact that the youngest child is still a minor and things you say online almost make me want to call child services myself!
I know that one of these days I will just loose it and tell you off in person...but for now I am trying to be above such things. Get your sh!t together and stop praying and begging everyone else for help. The moment you start acting like your ready to help yourselves I will be more then willing to offer what assistance I can...until then I'm sorry but you are on your own.
Sincerly,
Really Annoyed and about to break.
Dear MIL-
I realize that you are excited to be having your first grandchild, but please learn some boundaries. Just because we bought a new house does not entitle you to decorate MY babies nursery, nor does it entitle you to bring over any other decorations without our permission.
I am super thankful that you have agreed to babysit the baby once I go back to work and nursing school, but this does not mean that you get free reign over him or get to make all the decisions. He will be my baby, not yours.
I understand that your Korean traditions and ways of life are important for our little one to learn over time, but please remember that he is 75% white boy and only 25% Korean. You must be wanting to make up for not teaching your own kids any Korean language, but please don't force it all on us at once now.
Lastly, please don't talk about watching our little one as if its a hardship, especially since we will be paying you. If you really think its an inconvenience, then we can always explore some other day care options. And don't make me feel guilty by saying things like, "Well I will be spending more time with him so I will make sure he does this and that..." I understand that you will be taking care of him on a daily basis, and trust me, if I could go to nursing school from home, you wouldnt have to. BUT since I want our little guy to have a great life, I will be finishing what i started. Thanks.
Love Always,
The Daughter in Law you wish your son never married.
Dear various family members,
It is not a good idea to call me and tell me that my mother is on the way to FL when infact she is sitting at home, then call and tell other family members that I am in labor when I am not.
Dear mooching cousin,
Asking me to get you into the theme parks for free two days before my due date is infact taking advantage of our generosity and will not be happening.
Dear stalker cousin,
I DO NOT, in ANY WAY, want your to move to Florida! I am sorry that you are not happy with my decision to raise MY child away from the family but again it is MY child and I am happy with my life here. It was also innapropriate for you to continuously ask to be the godmother, you WILL NOT be the child's godmother. Also please quit telling me that I need to come home for Thanksgiving so that you can "hold the baby in your arms", it's creepy. Please please quit texting me all day everyday, you are the main reason I have started ignoring phone calls.
Ugh, thank you I needed that....
Dear Friend,
I can not believe how self centred you are. it's one thing to forget my birthday it's another to blame me for not reminding you when i apparently know how busy you are, also an email with a copy of a belated birthday card with the wors "you are now free to forget my birthday" is not the same as an actuak card or phone call. I have not missed your birthday in 8 years and every year i make the effort to drive to see you - i am extremly hurt that you can't even call to apologise. As for your life always being so complicated perhaps it's because when you ask me for "boy" advice you choose to ignore it every single time and make the same mistake over and over again, from now on if you are idiotic enough to sleep with a guy unprotected because "he just doesn't like condoms" then don't whinge to me about how you are scared you'll either fall pregnant or catch something, plus if you continue to try to make guys spend every waking non working moment with you of course they are going to run a million miles in the other direction!
cheers,
your honest friend
great thread! here's mine:
To everyone with whom I work,
I am not your secretary. If you thought you needed a secretary, you shouldn't have fired them all and expected me to do their work along with my own. Just because I am a woman and don't have a scientific degree does not make me by default a secretary. That requires a completely different skill set.
Your colleague.
Dear Mom,
I wish I could have this baby and never have her meet you. I am terrified that I will carry your traits as a mother and make my child feel like crap at every moment. I have been so accepting of your childishness and selfishness for years and I can't fathom letting my child be exposed to it. She will never visit your house, so you better be prepared to visit her at other relatives houses-I can't risk an avalanche killing my child because you hoard so much ***. Please don't call me just to tell me you are going on a vacation so I don't call you while you are gone. I haven't talked to you in over a month for a reason. It doesn't surprise me that you planned your trip with my due date at the very beginning of it, although I am livid that you would do such a thing, I'm actually quite relieved that I don't have to deal with you when I'm still transitioning into my new life. You are a horrible mother. I pray all the time that you will change, but I am losing hope pretty quickly at this point. By the way, my baby and I are healthy, thanks for caring enough to ask.
Sincerely,
Your let down, fed up daughter.
Dear everyone,
Yes I'm excited for baby's arrival...quit asking me...obviously after everything I went through to get pregnant I'm anxious.
I understand you are all excited to meet her too but I'm not going to FORGET to call you when it's time so quit reminding me that you're "waiting by the phone".
That is all.
Sincerely,
Me.
Dear rain,
Please stop now. The flooding in my province and across the border is completely out of hand and all of the poor people who are being forced out of their homes have had enough. Lake Champlain and The Richelieu River can't take any more and I'm upset seeing the damage.
Sincerly,
