Let's hear them!

FSUNole31 · August 2013

Dear DS's nose,
He has his 1st birthday party on Saturday, please stop being so snotty and just leave without turning into anything more serious.
Sincerely,
His mother who really wants her healthy kid

SvedkaStoli · August 2013

Dear work, Wow, just wow! I was just offered a promotion and pretty nice bump in earnings but best of all, now I am salaried! I am the most junior person on the team. I am so excited I don't know what words to use. Excited and humbled

Dear Sister-in-law. My father did not yell at your son because of my "negative energy" it was because he was being a brat. Maybe if you put down your ipad and disciplined him people wouldn't get so frustrated with your son.

pennstated912 · August 2013

Dear house - Clean yourself or hire me help. I'm exhausted and can't continue to do this.

Dear work - I have no interest in you. Badgering me with 5 huge projects at once with only 3 days left in the week is mean. Uncool.

DamnPrecious · August 2013

Dear DH,

I know your having a hard time with what's going on with your mother. I love you more than you know and I wish I could make it better for you.

Love,

Me.

Dear dog,

Stop hogging my effing snoogle! Do you know how much back pain I wake up in when I have to contort my body around yours to accommodate you? You are only five pounds big, what gives, man! Cuddle with Dad instead.

Love,
A tired and uncomfortable fur mama

brideandbreve · August 2013

Dear Wednesday,

Let's make this quick, shall we?

Love,
The mama who really wants to go home with her sick baby and take a nap but is stuck at work until at least 3 PM

Dear MIL,

Stop stalking me on FB and then calling DH to ask questions about our life. If you want to be a part of it, stop being a total heartless bitch and apologize for calling your son a wallet. If you can't do that, I'm going to block you and that's not going to fix anything. Andplusalso, stop trying to throw me a baby shower just because you heard my mom is throwing me one on the East Coast. Everyone knows you hate us right now and I'm not falling into that trap.

Love,
The only one that doesn't put up with your shit.

This. All of this. Glad I'm not the only one with this exact situation.

Sorry I have a lot today.

Dear Hubby,

Telling me, out of nowhere, that I "yell at everyone all the time" (meaning the people/creatures in my household) really hurt my feelings. Especially since I've felt the best I've felt during the last two weeks and can't even recall the last time I've yelled at someone. Getting frustrated and slightly elevating my voice is nothing. You want yelling, I'll give you yelling. I'm not happy with you. Just because I'm technically talking to you doesn't mean I like you very much right now. And BTW, you're the one with the temper that flies off the handle when DD knocks her food on the floor and I'm the peace keeper that swoops in, cleans up the mess, and gives her my dinner just to keep things semi calm. Thanks for making me self conscious about every tiny little thing I say. Ya big jerk.

Lovingly,

Your pissed off wife

litzo27 · August 2013

Dear DS1,
You're an awesome teacher to you little brother. Really. But please don't teach him that it's a good idea to put the potty seat on his head and run around screaming "poop monster".

Dear DS2,
Please please please don't get sick while I'm swamped at work and back-up-care nanny is on vacation. Please.

This made me giggle. I'll be there in a year or two and I know it won't be funny then...so also, I'm sorry

PreDempsey · August 2013

Dear 2nd tri morning sickness onset,

No thank you.

Love, Me.

goldenB · August 2013

Dear DH,

telling me that your biggest worry is that our child won't be athletic because I am on pelvic rest makes me want to hurl my shoes at you. Stop making insensitive comments! And if you need something to worry about, worry about our a/s tomorrow.

Thanks, but no thanks for 'your support' yesterday.

No love right now,

your mad wife.

LuGal623 · August 2013

Dear Work,

Thanks for pumping me up thinking I'll be getting a promotion and moving out of the admin role only to come in today to see what I thought was my potential new boss interviewing some skank.

Sincerely,

Crushed & deflated lowly peon

Dear IT Department,

You are not my friend today. Please fix our computer - that you screwed up - ASAP. We need it!

Dear caffeine,

Apparently, I just can't seem to quit you. At least you made my headache go away.

Thanks for the relief [but i'm still going to try to quit you],

Shannahbee · August 2013

Dear work,

Thank-you for the mild heart attack you gave me today when it was announced that a crap-ton of people had been laid off. It would be nice if you would stop doing this every 8 months or so.
But also thank-you for not including me in that group of people.

Sincerely,

Lady who needs a job at least until baby comes.

bluegreeneyes11 · August 2013

Dear SIL,

It got back to me that you called your coworker who knows my Mom's friend to try to find out what we are having just proves that I am not crazy and I knew you were trying to get it out of me all week. No wonder you looked so defensive when DH asked you about it. Hysterical that you told me in front of everyone you had bigger things to worry about (your twins on the way). Ummm ok than why make that call?

Also, I do appreciate all the stuff you've given me that you won't be using with your twins but if I tell you when you ask that I might use your 5 year old infant seat as an extra at my Mom's please don't think you dictate how I use the stuff you so kindly gave me.

What is your deal?

Love, me

MrsGraham06 · August 2013

Dear Heartburn,

Go away. Just because Morning Sickness is leaving, doesn't mean I want it replaced.

Signed,
Sick of being sick

Jmattis · August 2013

Dear MIL,

Can you please just accept that we are not expecting a girl and that a sweet little boy is on his way. Stop making comments like, " There's always next time" and asking me questions like, " Do you think its definitly a boy and were they right at your last AS?" We are happy either way and just want a healthy baby. Its not my problem you had two sons and if you keep making comments I'm going to lose my cool and flip the blank out on you.

Oh and DH,

Please stop defending her and making excuses for her rude and hurtful behavior.

Many Thanks,
Your extremely annoyed DIL and wife

fredtheredhead2 · August 2013

Dear DH's Work,

I am so glad you like my cupcakes. But it is more than a little ridiculous (and rude) to rely on me to make the dessert for the Battalion Org Day BBQ and NOT tell me that. Why did you not tell my DH that until this morning? I am not making any more stupid cupcakes than I had already planned. If you wanted me to provide a crap ton of cupcakes, you should have gotten in touch with me weeks ago to see if I had time and was available to make them.

Signed,

Irritated Spouse (who is not your free baker!)

TNgoldengirl · August 2013

Dear Crazy Road Rage Guy,

The yelling, cussing, waving and honking at me to get off the phone, when I'm already crying to my husband about having a bad day was NOT nice! What is your problem? Obviously it was me, but I did not do anything to you. And you made me actually scared. Two words- anger management. Yikes.

Sincerely,
The apparently oblivious driver

megngregk · August 2013

Dear DH,

Normally, I adore you. However, you've been on leave for over a month, and have failed to do a single thing I've asked of you. I understand that we were in IL at your parents for two and a half weeks, and you had your wisdom teeth out yesterday, but you deploy in 14-18 days, and I simply cannot take care of things that have only your name on the account. Also, I cannot enroll myself in your insurance regardless of the fact that you can't seem to comprehend this bit of information.

Get off your ass. Call the numbers that I took the time to find you so you can deal with said accounts, and make your pregnant wife happy. I have enough to do on my own (like packing, finding a new Dr in MN, setting up storage and moving arrangements, canceling utilities, setting up move-out inspection and, oh, should I go on?).

Love,

The one who is sick of holding your hand and taking care of you.

Audrey112 · August 2013

Dearest Kitties,

If you would not pee on my carpet I would greatly appreciate it.

Tired pregnant lady who keeps having to clean up after you

Ooooh, don't you just love this crap? Along with incompetent, lazy FRG leaders...I won't miss any of that in 16 months. Having things dropped on me hours ahead of time when the unit or DH knew for weeks is no longer of any surprise to me.

Bring the cupcakes. And hoard them for yourself.

Lauren716 · August 2013

Dear OB,

Why do you consistently make me get on the scale BEFORE you let me pee? I understand that you need a sample but this growing in size mama would appreciate not seeing the extra "pee pounds" during my weigh in, not to mention its a little harder to hold these days.

XO-
Your Friend With the Full Bladder

@megngregk We are with a recruiting battalion right now, so I haven't had anything like this happen here until now. It's a very small group and they are mostly civilians and very nice. I'm mostly irritated because it was supposed to be a side dish/dessert potluck and BN was providing the meat and drinks. And then they apparently decided yesterday that BN was providing everything and everyone just had to show up. But they really wanted me to still bring cupcakes and didn't make any other provisions for dessert. And didn't tell DH that until this morning!

I was DH's FRG leader for 2 years, so I was always the one with stuff dumped on them at the very last minute. So compared to all of that, this is not such a big deal. I think I'm just extra irritable right now. I've actually been enjoying our 2 year break from "regular" Army. I'm guessing you guys are ETSing in 16 months?

AprlShwrs18 · August 2013

Dear former employer,

I left because you are disrespecting your employees. It breaks my heart 4 of my co-workers have cried today, and school haven't even started yet. BTW - Bereavement Leave is necessary - its a policy of pure human decency.

I hope the school loses everyone and the CEO is taken out in handcuffs.

love me

berenely · August 2013

Dear Boss,

I understand that it's difficult to work a schedule around someone who is a.) pregnant and has to go to doctor's appointments every 4 weeks and b.) the MOH in her sister's wedding. I did not plan for these big life events to coincide. But when you tell me I can't go to my sister's bachelorette party because I've taken off too many Saturdays in the month (2 - which is what I am allowed) it doesn't make me super happy. And when you inwardly roll your eyes when I tell you when my next doctor's appointment is, it REALLY makes me want to go to HR and complain. Because that sh*t's not right.

Andplusalso, if I wasn't pregnant and needed health insurance, I'd be gone.

Sincerely,
your employee

kosbo06 · August 2013

Dear dad of a misbehaving student,

I am not making up lies about your sons behavior. Yes, he was throwing soap at kids in the bathroom. Maybe his behavior is not like it is at home because he is in a different situation, one will more kids, and other kids his age. Please just address it with him and stop saying how "out of character"
It is for him.

Sincerely,
Irritated teacher
