Monday Vent

in Austin Babies

I DD'ed.  Just bc I don't like to leave that much personal info about my family on the interwebs.

It's been a very long year, with a lot of challenges. I know I'm not alone, I'm just ready for a new year. 

/vent 

Anyone else?

    1.  Firecheif... I don't know what to say.  That's pretty sh!tty on a lot of levels.  I can't imagine trying to be the step parent (aka: referee) in that situation.

    2.  My Monday vent is full of selfishness that I can't shake.  MIL is coming into town tomorrow or Wednesday and staying though the new year.  Ummm...  that's almost two weeks. Sigh.  SIL is also coming and invited her BF to come too.  It would have been realllllly nice if she would have asked first.  Or, if MIL would have asked us first on her behalf.  (she's 20).  I don't want to host all these people because we ALWAYS get stuck with the grocery bill and the bill anytime we go out to eat because DH can't say no.  I'm feeling very cheap these days and any 'fun money' I have... I want to spend on  myself, not SIL's punky BF.  (or SIL or MIL, for that matter).

    Here is one:  My sister just called me to ask if I had one of those fancy stand up mixers (she and BIL are coming for christmas).  I said, hell no I am not RICH :)  I asked her why and she told me that my BIL could not bake his bourbon cake pie without using one of those mixers.........

     REALLY?

    Tell her that would be an excellent Christmas gift for her to give you!

     

    My vent isnt' really a vent... more of a whine.  I want to be really selfish for Christmas this year but it's not working.  I'm putting myself under a ton of pressure to find the perfect gifts for my immediate family and close girlfriends (who have gotten me through SO much this year), not to mention coworkers (who have also gotten me through SO much this year) and DH (ditto). And there are so many social obligations and travel obligations and we'll either be at my parents' house or they'll be at our house (except for two nights) when DH and I need to attempt to tour singapore when I O.  It's all just too much.  Cannot wait until New Years!

    FCB- that totally sucks. I would be super frustrated with the ex an with DSS. After Te holidays are over, can y'all sit with him and talk about how this past behavior is unacceptable but that you are confident he can make better choices? An talk with her about the damage she is doing by not being a parent to him?

    Shan- my DH is the same way and it drives me crazy! "it's not this dinner or that night out as to why we don't have more in savings! I just need to make more money!"  Me- "no shiit, but until then, all that little stuff adds up. We need to let others take care of themselves once in a while!"  He is the only person I know who spent $200 on his own birthday buyin drinks for other people.  I was pissed!

    FCB, I can't imagine how stressful it must be to be the responsible parents. Kudos to you for doing the right, but hard, thing. (BTW my dad married my stepmom when I was 7, he died when I was 15, she remarried when I was 21, and she is still one of the most important people in my life.)

    AustinBride, just so you know--our fertile window was during Thanksgiving, when we had houseguests for seven nights. That's right, every time we toured Singapore we had someone (hopefully) sleeping in the next room.  Maybe it's good luck?
