Husband (who is the oldest brother) has a middle brother we shall call Douche Canoe. Well DC's wife has completely brainwashed him and pitted him against our whole family. Last time the Douche family was out, DC told the youngest brother (we'll call him Awesome Brother) that he didn't need to bother inviting him to his wedding - the flippin' wedding is 500 miles away, not like it's on Mars or anything like that. AB and fiance decide to get married week of Thanksgiving and look who probably won't be invited because AB is over DC's drama. 1. How sad that you don't even want to see your own brother get married and 2. I wonder how much drama they will hold against all of us for them NOT being invited to the wedding.

Local mama in my town. Really stirring the mommy-war pot with her superiority in all things. She shows up every week where I volunteer (her right to, all are welcome) but she specifically makes a point to be snarky to me. We used to be super close, but I just started to notice how mean she was to people outside her circle who didn't agree with her about every little thing. Now I am just almost embarrassed that we even used to be friends.

My husband's job is causing me dramarama right now. He hates it and is "looking" for something new but not really. I want to punch him in the face and tell him if he doesn't seriously sit down, really apply and I don't know - maybe update his GD resume nothing will change.
His work situation is the bane of my existence and that's saying a lot since I am nauseous 24/7.
That's me as well; no drama. But I figure I've earned a nice, quiet life after the 3 years if hell that was being married to my emotionally unfaithful (and eventually physically) first husband.

I guess I'm surprised by that, I hadn't even thought of there being a site that did that, let alone knowing real word please who were affected. I hope that dies down eventually.

In the exact same boat, friend. I want to scream, he keeps hurting his back their and it's going to end up ruining him physically. And dude, either put real effort into finding a new job or STFU about your current one! GAH! And my DH keeps telling me he needs my help with editing and all that. Great. I will HELP you, I will not do ALL of it for you. I get it, resumes and job hunting suck but I went through all that less than 2 years ago. It is possible but good grief, you have to put in the work!

I think we all need to evaluate our lives because all 3 of us MIGHT be married to the same man. Right there with you guys on basically doing DH's entire resume. Granted, I am way craftier with words, but HELLO show some initiative PLEASE!
A staff member that I have acquired. We provide in home supports to individuals with intellectual disabilities. I just became the manager of this gentleman's care and the staff member I absorbed with him is insanely frustrating. She has worked with him for nearly ten years and has become INCREDIBLY possessive of him. She harasses other staff through CONSTANT texts (like 50 a day) over every.single.thing. It's at the point that these staff are afraid to look at their phones. I have finally convinced them to block her. Unfortunately, being her boss, I cannot do the same. I mainly work evening/night hours but you can bet at 730 am I'm getting texts and phone calls over the dumbest, most irrelevant shit. She is an older woman that I believe is lonely and just looking for someone to talk to but it is honestly borderline harassment. I have never dealt with someone like this before and it just blows my mind.

My drama levels are low at the moment, thank goodness! I had a lot of drama from my own douche canoe BIL and his wife after a miscarriage in April and surgery in May. They sure know how to make things that have absolutely nothing to do with them ALL about them. Fortunately, they are now playing nice since we let them know we are expecting again.
I have a sneaking suspicion, however, that I'm the fourth wife of the husband that hates his job. My husband is the same way! He has always hated his job as long as I've known him - four different employers. When I get fed up with hearing it, then he gets all sad that I'm not supportive. I'm just like, "Your attitude sucks! That's why you always hate your job!"
drama llama showed up at breakfast with my in laws yesterday. Came up with a cute way to tell them they'd be grandparents. It's their first grandchild from their only son whom they readily admit is their favorite child. They were excited and it started well. As soon as our food arrived at our table it started going downhill. It started with my MIL telling me I HAAAD to finish my scrambled eggs. Then she began touching my bloat belly which she insists is a baby bump already. I don't like being touched but I bared it for a while because I know she's excited. Then she started POKING at my sides and pursing her lips at me!! (No explanation! I'm assuming she was noticing my new found chubby side fat) I was nice and bared it still but gave DH the "stop her or I'll kill her" death stare. He did and then MIL went into labor horror stories while pushing away my pancakes and shoving her fruit towards me. I made a huge effort to slam her fruit bowl back on her side and slam my pancake plate back in front of me. After her horror stories, she tells DH "she's going to have a natural birth. You can't let her take any medicine." I'd had it at that point and told her that my birthing plan and decision were mine and no one else's. She continues to talk to DH and tell him that this is his child and he needs to be heard on what is right for the baby because it's not just my choice!! As calmly as I could I tried explaining it's MY body still and although I do take my H's opinion into account, I choose what happens with MY body. She went on a rant about how I don't understand what happens to a baby and I HAVE to have a natural birth. Gee... Thanks, I was unaware that my degrees in biology and organic chemistry made me so UNAWARE of a scientific process... DH asked her to back off and told her to leave me alone that he trusted me enough to let me chose what happens with my body. We left shortly after because I was in no mood to even look at her. She calls DH later in the evening to ask if I'd calmed down and come back down to earth and when our next u/s is scheduled because she's coming to talk to my doc!! DH set her straight again and today she calls crying about how unfair it is that she's being pushed out of her (barely beginning to form for crying out loud!) grandchild's life by me because I'm so mean!!she continues to cry to him that she's losing her son because of my attitude. DH is aware of how unreasonable his mother is but I feel sooo awful seeing how stressed my MIL is making him. He gets so sad and I regret ever bothering to attempt to include her in the happy news.

Your MIL sounds legit BSC. I don't know you let alone your DH, but damn I feel bad for you guys.
Oh she's full blown BSC! Luckily FIL is VERY sweet and called to apologize to both of us. She reminds me of Raymond's mom on Everybody loves Raymond. Just sad she's made DH so stressed when he was so excited to tell her.

OMG!!! You poor thing! I don't know how you made it through that meal without losing your shit on her. You are definitely a better person than I am, because there's no way she would have made it past the first side poke with me. I truly hope for you and your husband's sake that between your FIL and husband, she gets set straight and recognizes your boundaries. None of what she did was ok
Funny from the Ashley Madison hack... We know one person on the list pretty well. He goes to our gym. Funny thing is, he's single and he'll do anything to get some action, including joining a website dedicated to spousal cheating. I laughed way too hard when DH told me he was on there.
I love the sister wives on here. Seriously, made me laugh. I don't know if it's really drama but my childless, single best friend has pissed me off on numerous occasions. First when I told her I was pregnant with #2. She told me " I'm not ready for you to be pregnant again." Then I told her it was going to be a boy and her response was "I'm not really excited about a boy. I wanted another girl." She's also chewed me out for not answering my phone or texts in the recent past. I try to explain that I'm chasing around a two yr old and pregnant. I take a nap when my LO naps and I swear that's when my friend will call or text. The last annoying thing. I listed some names I was thinking for future son and she didn't really like any of them. So I just kinda feel annoyed. I'm hoping she matures some so we can remain friends.
My hubby is the SAME WAY with his job. He is getting screwed over big time but isn't really trying to do anything about it. He got looked over/rejected again for a full time sports writer position with our local newspaper, although he has been there part time for 6 YEARS now. But his bosses keep sending him out to cover stories, when his job duties are to collect local/national scores for the scoreboard page. The one that really ticked me off was when I learned he was covering the local golf tournament. He was so excited but I had to crush his happiness...this is the tournament that the old full-timer (he retired) used to cover. He wasn't good enough to replace him as a full time employee, but he is good enough to write the same articles that the other man used to? Oh, and yes, the money is a big play- they got DH to write this article for about $4.50 LESS an hour than they would've had to pay the full time staff that got the job over my husband. My husband had to spend 6 HOURS at this tournament for the quarterfinals. It pisses me off to no end and yes DH complains but he doesn't really try to look for work either. Grrrrrr!!!! X(
He makes it worse by his extreme jealousy. I had been at my job for 6-7 years and I couldn't take the drama/politics and stupidity any more. I had been looking for 2 years, went on numerous interviews, and FINALLY got this job that I have been at for almost a month now. It is by no means what I want to do for the rest of my life-I have a BS in community/human services with a concentration in Child & Family Studies, gave up my job as a Head Start Head Teacher to move to a secretary position that doesn't need more than a high school education. I did it out of desperation and because the pay is the same. When I tell him to look for something outside his field (he doesn't have a degree but is close to finishing) he says everyone is making him "give up his dream". Well, I did too dammit! You grow up and your priorities change!
This gets to the point where (he works 6pm-2am) he wakes me up when he gets home because he is soo upset over this. But I don't see him try to change it either.
February Siggy Challenge- Post pregnancy indulgences
I won't go into the entire situation here, but it's horrible timing, surrounded by drama and weirdness and we don't really have a choice at this point other than turn her out on the street, which is obviously not a choice. Deep breaths . . . .
My insurance is a drama llama right now... I'm 11 weeks and haven't seen a doctor, and my insurance started today, but my mom's insurance never took me off despite her request, so now the doctor I want to see won't see me because he has to take my mom's insurance as the primary! But the coverage is awful! Medicaid is such a pain to deal with.
DH is also looking for a new job. He is a trained chef but quit the industry cause he hated it (after 10+ years). Yes he needs a new job that will provide benefits but yesterday I caught him applying for more cooking jobs. He's gone back twice and it always leads to drama. Plus I want him to actually be home at some point that's not sleeping (work for him used to be 2-3am or so, then sleep till noon and sleep till 6pm on his days off). I won't deal with that. One cranky baby is enough for me. I put my foot down last night so hopefully that stops that nonsense.
I'm not a big drama person-I call people on it, so all the drama llamas I've known don't bother me anymore. A friend of my friends group (we were kinda friends till I told her off for her drama ways) was going on and on for days about something (in a group chat). Instead of telling her what she wanted to hear I told her what she needed to hear. Our friends backed me up. None of us have heard from her since. So I expect that she'll be flouncing back in soon.

Hubby works with a guy who he complains about 24/7. This guys makes him so miserable and he talks about how miserable he is at home, but there is nothing they can do about it at work. Ugh, frankly, I am so sick of hearing about it, but I would never tell him that. Phew that felt good to complain about!

I guess I'm surprised by that, I hadn't even thought of there being a site that did that, let alone knowing real word please who were affected. I hope that dies down eventually.

I think we all need to evaluate our lives because all 3 of us MIGHT be married to the same man. Right there with you guys on basically doing DH's entire resume. Granted, I am way craftier with words, but HELLO show some initiative PLEASE!
Count me in.... only he kept making the excuse that he wanted to finish his thesis first.... now he has an extension on his thesis and this post doc runs out the month the baby is due.... FFS how much more motivation do you need?

I have a sneaking suspicion, however, that I'm the fourth wife of the husband that hates his job. My husband is the same way! He has always hated his job as long as I've known him - four different employers. When I get fed up with hearing it, then he gets all sad that I'm not supportive. I'm just like, "Your attitude sucks! That's why you always hate your job!"
Let us be known henceforth as sister wives.

My hubby is the SAME WAY with his job. He is getting screwed over big time but isn't really trying to do anything about it. He got looked over/rejected again for a full time sports writer position with our local newspaper, although he has been there part time for 6 YEARS now. But his bosses keep sending him out to cover stories, when his job duties are to collect local/national scores for the scoreboard page. The one that really ticked me off was when I learned he was covering the local golf tournament. He was so excited but I had to crush his happiness...this is the tournament that the old full-timer (he retired) used to cover. He wasn't good enough to replace him as a full time employee, but he is good enough to write the same articles that the other man used to? Oh, and yes, the money is a big play- they got DH to write this article for about $4.50 LESS an hour than they would've had to pay the full time staff that got the job over my husband. My husband had to spend 6 HOURS at this tournament for the quarterfinals. It pisses me off to no end and yes DH complains but he doesn't really try to look for work either. Grrrrrr!!!! X(
He makes it worse by his extreme jealousy. I had been at my job for 6-7 years and I couldn't take the drama/politics and stupidity any more. I had been looking for 2 years, went on numerous interviews, and FINALLY got this job that I have been at for almost a month now. It is by no means what I want to do for the rest of my life-I have a BS in community/human services with a concentration in Child & Family Studies, gave up my job as a Head Start Head Teacher to move to a secretary position that doesn't need more than a high school education. I did it out of desperation and because the pay is the same. When I tell him to look for something outside his field (he doesn't have a degree but is close to finishing) he says everyone is making him "give up his dream". Well, I did too dammit! You grow up and your priorities change!
This gets to the point where (he works 6pm-2am) he wakes me up when he gets home because he is soo upset over this. But I don't see him try to change it either.

I'm not a big drama person-I call people on it, so all the drama llamas I've known don't bother me anymore. A friend of my friends group (we were kinda friends till I told her off for her drama ways) was going on and on for days about something (in a group chat). Instead of telling her what she wanted to hear I told her what she needed to hear. Our friends backed me up. None of us have heard from her since. So I expect that she'll be flouncing back in soon.
