I hate working with my SIL. She is a witch. No one likes her.

Ah ha. I feel better now.

SS is graduating. YAY! He failed every test all semester except the final. He is in the bottom ten people of a graduating class of 400+. He has failed almost every core class and retaken it. He has had to drop electives because he was failing them. I am glad he is graduating, but if I have to hear DH say how proud he is again I am going to throw up. Zero effort in an upper crust public school system and 10% scores on the SAT and poor scores on other tests = they will do anything to get you out. There is no place for pride here, and I think it sets a horrible example for our other four kids that DH is "proud" when for the last six years they have been hearing "SS is failing" and "SS does not know if he will be in activityX because of grades" nonstop.

Yesterday I stayed in bed until 1 pm, and then did nothing productive until I went to work at 4pm. I worked until 9:30, and then met up with an old friend. I got home just before 2AM. I'm still in bed this morning, eating cereal and watching crappy TV.

It's a beautiful day outside, and it was yesterday too. I need to get my asss out of bed and go enjoy the day until work. I just get so depressed when the kids are with their dad.

I hope XH has an absolutely miserable time at Disney this weekend. I hope he melts in the humidity. I hope he hates the crowds. I hope he regrets spending hundreds of dollars to pull this off. I hope DS has a mostly good time, but when he's bored (because they're going to Star Wars weekend and DS will not be interested in 99% of what is offered) I hope he turns his whine on.

ugh the bump ate my post...

My FFFC is I have zero desire to have sex with FH and I just don't care.. So many things are irritating me that I just really don't care. 1. the wedding is in a week and all the little lat minute stuff is stressful, 2. FH put me in in charge of our finances but then complains when I say we don't have the money to do something, and then when I offer for him to look at the budget and checkbook he says no. Well then if you don't want to be educated about it stop doubting and complaining!, and 3. I know its the playoffs and he can't shave the beard, but does that really mean he can't keep it neat or get a haircut?! He's a shaggy mess and its not sexy. The bad sex over the past two weeks is causing a problem with us and all I want to tell him is to knock it off and get over himself.

Me too, I hope my boys eat BM out of house and home so she can see what it actually costs to feed two teenage boys. I hope our youngest pulls out his special pouty, bored, silent treatment so she can get a taste of that too. I hope that the novelty wears off soon. I hope oldest orders the most expensive plate of food every time they go out because he has to have the best (a bad habit we've been working on). I hope there is a MOUNTAIN of laundry for her to do this weekend cause I only have two loads. And I hope she is exhausted and broke after putting on so may BS airs. I also hope my kiddos have a good time.

I have a tattoo of a rubber duck in my butt cheek. It comes out of hiding every now and then when someone doubts me. Otherwise, no one but DH sees it.

PIMP!!!!!!!!

I am an executive assistant at a large CPA firm... my boss gives me catalogs to order her stuff, yesterday I had to order her bras and return a $400 bathing suit that had deoderant marks on it. I can't believe how much they pay me to do this brainless work!

I judge BM and her parenting style after the conversation I had with her last night. I mentioned he wants to carry his iPad everywhere but I wouldn't let him take it inside the museums in DC. She said it was a lifesaver. I didn't understand so she said that she would never get anything done if it weren't for his iPad. She said she lets him take it everywhere bc he talks too much and with it he stays quiet. I just don't agree with parents letting electronics raise their kids.

This is one of the major issues I have with DH's parenting style. I do understand that they are part of life these days and I remember playing for hours on end as a child myself (of course they were hooked up to the huge tv and we couldn't take it everywhere). He will give SD his phone all the time when we are out and about because "she can't sit still". Well duh! You just pumped her full of sugar and you always let her play on your phone so when she isn't being entertained she wants to talk and wiggle. She has ADHD and her doctor has told you that extended play on electronics is not good for her because she needs to be moving but neither you or BM listen. SD goes for meals and car rides with me and never once ask for a phone. She sits in the back and watches out the window or plays with DD. She can do it but you don't want to deal with it.

In two weeks Monkey and I go to western NY to visit my Parents. I was very very very very clear with my mother that if I were to come up there (against my husband's wishes and at a considerable cost) that Monkey was all hers for the two days before my Sister, Brother, SIL and the twins showed up.

I mean ALL hers.

SAHM is not hard. My child is really a great, smart, funny, reasonably reactive (ie not very many temper tantrums or issues) child. But I am ON from 5:30am to 8:00pm. And while it is not difficult work, I just need ALONE TIME.

I WANT TO BE ALONE.

So I am spending $900, flying 1,000 miles and irking my husband so I CAN BE ALONE.

Oh my God! That would make me insane. My SS has gotten D's this year and my in laws kept saying how that wasn't bad and sometimes it 'just happens.' Um, it just happens because you aren't trying or doing your homework! Ever. It drives me crazy when people have low expectations for kids. I agree that it sets a horrible example for the other kids. Tell DH to put a sock in it.

Lavender P · June 2013

My FFFC...I hate my BIL. He is a self absorbed entitled little sh!t who thinks he is an adult because his parents pay for everything. He refused to talk to anyone in the family for a year and then when the in laws bought him a 30,000 car he decided to come back to the family. They also paid for his wedding, three week honeymoon and a down payment for a house. Maybe DH and I should ignore them so we can be bribed back into the family!

Alohalove · June 2013

What does FFFC mean? Can we vent about anything in general? Thanks!

I'm depressed that the SS are coming home. Their mom has them for most of this month because it's summer vacation; she usually has them for 4 days a month. I need more alone time with my baby and husband!!

Flame Free Friday Confession. Sometimes it's BF related. Other times, I'm so over whatever drama BM is creating, I confess something random. Like the duck tattoo.

Thank you!! I tried to figure it out and just came up empty. Freaky Friday.... Fat-Free Frozen Cookies.... nothing worked out.

The electronics raising children kills me. KILLS ME. My girls will be home on Monday and I am scheduling the day so they remain entertained while I work - project to project to workbook to outside to....They cannot be on me or interact with me while I am on work calls, but I can make sure they are not glued to a screen. Not wanting to hear your kids talk makes me really sad.

I hate to say this, but seein how BM raises SS gives me ideas of what I will be doing differently with my LO.

MIL & GMIL got DH & I a very nice antique china set for our wedding a year and a half ago. DH & I could care less about china - we didn't even register for any. We love hosting things, but are perfectly content using our normal dinnerware or even throw-away dinnerware. The three tubs of very nice antique china has set in my parents' basement for a year and a half. And now we are selling it. And I can't wait for it to sell!

When MIL visits and asks about the china, I have no idea how DH will respond. Not my problem.

My FFFC is that I want to take ODS' teacher's ADHD questionnaire and throw it in the garbage. This boy spent three hours colouring today, all inside the lines. He was a gem at tball the other night, though he wasn't as good tonight. I don't see what she sees! I am also a teacher if you remember, and I really don't think I'm in denial.

H, just stop being a diick, ok? You doing all the dishes except the ones I used is really fcking petty. It just makes me wonder even more if you've changed your wandering ways since you don't seem to be trying to help me heal.

After having to deal with BM and all her angry bitter crap today at K's class' Park Day I'm really freaking glad that she quite PTA. And ya know what? I'm starting to enjoy the fact that more people (who used to be friends with her and bought into her BS at first) want to take on Board positions now that she's gone. She is burning bridges left and right at the school and people are wising up to what's been said about me and my husband. And it feels good.

Lastly, there's one mom in particular that I'm extremely happy has seen the light. K plays with her daughters and DD is becoming good friends with the oldest daughter. BM used to be really good friends with her but now that this mom is scheduling playdates for the girls while K is with us and is helping me out with so much PTA stuff, they don't talk anymore. I'm almost happy they don't talk anymore because this woman is awesome and the 4 girls love playing together, and it's really nice to not have things be so awkward when we interact.

You deserve to be alone.

I'm not completely a SAHM, but my work hours allow for me to take everyone to school, pick everyone up from school and be home for homework and dinner. Between work and the kids' activities and PJ, I wish I could be alone once in awhile. I cannot put a dollar amount on how much I want some alone time.

I was thinking... This isn't really a FFFC. I guess I needed a WTF thread.

DO you know what I want to do alone the most? PEE!

I kid you not, unless I fully close and now lock the door, I cannot pee by myself. And it has been happening since 2004, when I adopted my corgi (herding dogs herd their humans - who knew). Trixie would jump on the bathroom door if she could not see me.

Then along came Monkey.

And just when I got her old enough to leave me alone 50% of the time, we brought home Kujo Kitty. He will not allow ANYONE to use the bathroom in peace. SO if you do not latch the bathroom doors, he will run up and push open the door JUST TO BE AN A$$.

Seriously! He runs up to the door, jumps at the door handle with all of his might. Then when he falls into the bathroom he looks at you, licks his left paw and then slowly walks out of the bathroom swishing his tail. He doesn't even stay in the room with us. He just wants to embarrass.

Peeing alone

4luvof2boys · June 2013

Kujo Kitty?!! ROFL. If I ever get a cat, I am so stealing this.

hopanka · June 2013

jo, is there ever a school function that u dont actively participate in, when it comes to K?

Before you start judging, we waited a full month before I volunteered. BM never signed up for anything. My husband and I volunteered to fill the water balloons and the teacher asked me to stay and help with the 50 kids. K asked me to bring PJ. I see absolutely NOTHING wrong with me and my husband being involved and helping out. I am actively involved in all the kids' activities, not just K's.
