Needless to say, this is a vent.
I had never realized that buying a house was the same as being pregnant as far as people losing their filter can go.
I called my mom to give her the good news about the house. "But what happens if your condo doesn't sell? Or if the buyers want an earlier move-in date? Wow you're really stuck now" Hmmm newsflash: you have to pull the trigger at some point. You either sell first or buy first, and whatever you do, yes, you are stuck with a deadline.
Then my co-worker this morning "OMG this is really going to suck for you" (referring to moving with a baby). Oh you think? What do you suggest I do here? I don't really mind this type of comment if they're part of a conversation, but it really irks me if they ARE the conversation, YKWIM?
I don't know. I guess I'm just grumpy this morning.
Re: Just what I needed to hear
Wouldn't it be nice if they could just be excited for you instead of pointing out all of the what-if's and stresses? How hard is it to just say, "Congrats! Let me know if I can do anything to help." Jerks! (Want me to throat-punch anyone for you?)
Exactly - Why is a simple congrats such a hard thing to say?
Now throat punching them might not be a good idea, especially if I want them to help me with the move
Ugh, why can't people just say, wow, that sounds tough, let me know how I can help out! It's one thing to acknowledge that the situation might not be ideal, but it's a completely different story to go on and on as if you made the decision without recognizing those difficulties up front. I hate that!
Sorry you're grumpy
Hope your day gets better!
