It's 2:30 eastern and we cannot POSSIBLY be lacking in things to bitch about...or are we?

This is a dumb complaint but I'll make it: I'm inundated with pink clothes from my MIL's friends and I JUST HATE IT ALL SO MUCH. But I'm too cheap to get rid of it all, so DD will be wearing pink until she's like two years old and my eyes will just have to deal with it.

DH's stupid boss is making him fly to Hawaii for a week. They only have to be there for one short interview but apparently they have to prepare on site for a week even though they all work in the same office here. WTF.

Thinking about this gives me SO much respect for single parents, military wives (or husbands), etc. I feel like a baby but I am so nervous about being alone with LO for so long. I get so emotional taking care of him all day long and always need the break from DH holding him and getting him to sleep during his witching hour at the end of the day. I also get so lonely being at home all day that my depression and anxiety gets high when I am on my own.

My MIL flies in tomorrow for a 5 day stay. DH works all 5 of those days. What am I going to do with her for 5 days? Rearranging my kitchen won't take even one full day.

I don't know if I'd rather clean today and hear "I don't know why you did that, you knew I was coming." Or let her clean (while narrating everything she's doing) and rearrange things. Last time she used our microfiber crown moldings duster to mop the floor and put soup in one our air tight dry goods canisters.

I want her to see LO and develop a relationship, but 5 days is a lot for me.

I'm tempted to leave LO with her and go get a manicure or something but I'm afraid that in her efforts to be helpful she'd try to cut LO's nails or give her rice cereal or something.

Can someone come give you relief for a few hours a day or night?

shoeflypie · March 2014

I'm pissed that it's already March. I don't want to go back to work in April.

I'm pissed at my dog's vet office. Savannah hasn't had her nails clipped since right before LO was born so the plan was for me to take her this afternoon FINALLY. Well last night when DH took her out to play she split her dew claw...which is very painful and can require surgery if it's bad enough. So I call this morning to get her in, scheduled at 2:10 no problem. I get to the vet and they tell me "we'll have to work her in around the other patients because we are booked with appts today"...yes, I AM ONE OF THEM!!!!! Apparently, they pulled her file but never put her on the schedule! Some of you may remember back in November when my dog got sick and the vet's office says they couldn't take her and didn't even ask about how sick she was. WHY did I go back there...? Stop screwing up, receptionist!!! Seriously time for a new vet's office!

(Good news is, she got in & her claw was clipped and should be fine.)

I really wanted a ring from kohls--and it was 60% off yesterday when I found it. I was going to wait and see if I could find it in stores though. Well today I decided to go ahead and get it offline...it's back to full price!!! Waaahh! Anyone have kohls cash codes you wanna give me? Lol

We had my family around for dinner last night and they ate everything! We did essentially 2 salmon, 10 lbs of potatoes, a pot of asparagus and a pot of carrots followed up with pecan pie and ice cream. As hosts we always let our guests serve themselves first but they should realize that there are more people to come. My poor SO ended up with 2 SMALL bits of fish, 4 stalks of asparagus, 5 roasties and 2 baby carrots for dinner. He had to make himself a pbj sandwich after everyone left because he was still hungry. When dinner was over DD#1 asked for a few raspberries and my sister goes "yum those look good" but eff that noise. Raspberries are always expensive here and they are a special little treat for my daughter. I know this all seems petty but my sisters bf seriously eats a lot (he was first to serve himself and fully loaded his plate).

Did you invite them or they just showed up?

My stepson is 14 and everything that 14 entails. He is messy, moody and just a PITA most days. He's a good kid, don't get me wrong, but I don't have the patience for the teen hormones these days. Love the kid to death but I'm ready to pull my hair out with his grades, his dirty room, and his attitude! (I've raised him since he was almost 3. No flaming for being an evil stepmom, OK?)

imrachellea · March 2014

@yty0205 I get it...I'm a middle school teacher. I have students from 12-15 years old and man those hormones do a number on those of us that have to deal with it!!

I'm sincerely pissed off at MissyKisses's DH right now. I realize I'm only getting one side of this situation, but anyone who wants to throw his wife and baby out into the street on a moment's notice is a complete douchecanoe. (Sorry, MK...)

I'm happy I'm not the only one thinking this. I've been pretty pissy since I read that.

MIL. That is all.

Kermode61581 · March 2014

@TXmamatobe -It is a weekly thing we do and we take turns but lately its become harder for us (with both the girls and the amount of food it requires)

@mrsashleyk -I thought I had provide a large amount of food for 6 people, guess not.

My aunt is staying with me until she finds a new place of her own. We're sharing a bathroom.. She used my tooth brush (I'm assuming by accident since we have the same color but different brands), she put her sponge on top of mine(EWWW), her make up and junk is scattered all over the counter, she splashes water all over the sink every time and doesn't wipe it up and leaves the lid off the tooth paste. Also her dog keeps dragging poop out of the cat box. I'm about to pull my hair out. Like please have some respect for my house!!

I feel the same way! DH is at a hockey game tonight (with clients) and then flies to Winnipeg tomorrow morning until Friday.

parents that have to do this on their own all the time have my deepest admiration. I'm sort of bitter that he's at the game tonight, but in fairness to him he asked me if it was ok way before he found out he'd be going away and offered to cancel numerous times.

NurseKMM · March 2014

Whep, DS and I caught DHs cold. What a fricken bitch ass cold it is too. My nose will not stop running, and I keep feeling like I need to sneeze, but cant so then one eye gets teary. Sooo ready for these symptoms to go away, cause otherwise I feel like my old self.

Also, I have to say I have amazing respect for the single (or military) parents out there!

Sadly no. We are far away from our families and still new to the area so don't have any friends good enough to ask. I just joined a moms group though so hopefully some day I will have some backup support!

...And instead of saying we agreed on this together and telling her I asked him if there was anyone on his side he wanted he made it look like I just chose and gave him no say in the matter. I know it's not a big deal but he always makes me look like an ass to his family.

No, that is a big deal. What's that all about? I would not be having any of that - it's basically lying.
