Flame-away Friday Confessions

Because let's face it, getting flamed is so much more exciting than keeping it tame.

    Did she say who found him/her? Perhaps that could be a subtle/less crass way to find out.

    @megsw85‌ I kind of want to send Travis a birthday card now. As an April birthday, I think Spring is ideal. We may do half birthdays for a while when the kids are older just so Mirabelle gets something not overshadowed by holidays.

    Anniversary

    I'm acting like a spoiled brat being mad about this, but here goes:

    This is our year to spend Christmas with my family, so we aren't going out of town. For whatever reason by brother and his gf as well as my stepsister can't seem to figure the schedule out (we discussed it years ago so that we could all be together at least once every couple years). Anyways, no big deal, we'll get together with them on another weekend over the break. Well they all made the plans over thanksgiving back in October when DH and I were at his parents and no one told us about it. My stepsister told my mom she had already discussed it with me and it was fine (she did not) so my mom didn't bother making a point to bring it up. Then when I'm talking to my stepsister a few weeks ago she tells me the whole thing was my mom's idea. So my mom and I are pointing fingers until we determine that stepsister is telling different stories to everyone. So that makes me mad.

    Then I find out that stepsister really wants us to do our get together in the city (2 hr drive from me). Again, I can deal, but freaking tell me. And give me a good reason. I hate to play the kid card, but seriously. My mom and stepdad also live out here so if they came to us it would be 3 adults in their 20s driving the 2 hrs. This way it's 4 adults and a toddler, plus I have to put my dog in a kennel. I'm more annoyed than anything that she thinks it's ok to just change the plans then lie about who "helped" her change them to make it seem like she isn't just doing it to suit her own agenda.

    End rant. To recap, I'm spoiled, don't want to travel with my toddler and just want things to go the way they used to. Why is everyone insisting on changing things?

  • I'm debating it @CL8badB‌ . The only reason I'm bitching on here and to my mom only is because I know it's really important to my stepdad to have her there and be happy about it. She has been super selfish with holidays and family time lately (as in not showing up and doing other stuff instead). She always masks it with an excuse. She's a Vet student and she's been doing trips with groups from school working in other countries and stuff on school breaks, but she is doing this all on my stepdad's dime and still won't spend a freaking Christmas with her poor dad. He's heartbroken, I can tell. She's his only child. He and my mom got together when stepsister and I were 17 and my brother was 15, and they did a long distance thing for several years until he retired about 5 years ago. So it isn't like we are really his kids, although he treats us like we are. I just don't want to mess up the one day he does get with her... So I might just bring it up privately over the weekend while we're there so she knows this isn't going to fly in the future.

    DH and I think it's half because she doesn't want to put her dog in a kennel (because me doing it is better, right?) but our dogs don't get along and I won't let her bring it to my house anymore. And plus, we also think she's turned lesbian (not judging, it's just weird after her 10 year relationship with a man) and wants her gf to be there without saying it's her gf.

  • Oh I'm sure we will. I'm just really judging her selfishness right now, and complaining about my own inconvenience. It won't be a big deal. We go to the city all the time, it's just that I like doing our holiday stuff out here. I guess she and I are both being brats, she's just the one getting away with it this time and I'm having to cave. I never have to cave.

  • To answer the stamp question, no I don't think you need "special" stamps, but you might need an extra one with it being international and all. The USPS website should be able to tell you the exact cost of mailing letter mail to canada.

    @graceinca @CL8badB‌ @stargazer763‌ thank you all so much you've got mail in 2 min.

    This will seriously make his day. My h might think it's weird. But I love it. You guys made me tear up since I know his own uncles won't send him cards.

    I'd love to send him a birthday card as well!! How old will he be?? And do we need special stamps??

    Here's an end of day confession. I just had sex. For the first time since Thanksgiving weekend. I predict a good tomorrow.

    I'll add to this. I don't even remember when we had sex last...
