So heartbreaking to hear it all.
I just had a four-hour talk with my DIL about all kinds of things and as we finally stood up to go to bed she gave me a big hug and said, âI love talking to you.â That makes me SOOO happy. I had a fraught relationship with my MIL so to feel like my DIL genuinely likes me is such a relief. I never want to create any tension in their marriage, like my MIL did. Plus, she talked and talked about wanting to have kids so I might be a grandmother one day after all!!!

Finally broke down and bought a 3rd car since we have 3 drivers in the house. Feel like I need to brag somewhere because we managed to fit all 3 cars in our 3-car tandem garage. Now if I could just get my DH to be willing to get rid of the âCOVID woodâ in the garage that he bought at the start of the pandemicâŠfor all of the stuff he was going to buildâŠyeah, that went nowhere! then weâll be golden. LOL.

Well, that was fast. Just a minute after I typed out my plan about having a day to do whatever I wanted tomorrow, I found out itâs likely not going to happen. I just want one day. All by myself. To do whatever I want for me. To not have to talk to anyone, or do anything for someone else. Just one day. Iâve been retired for two years, why is this seemingly impossible?

Long walks and dates away from the house are my friend when we have certain visitors. Sorry makes you feel better, but it doesnât usually fix whatâs messed up.

I am replying to my own post, hope thatâs ok.
We are going to have a wedding in the near future. The BF took me out to get my blessing for their marriage. I canât formally let people know yet because he is going to have to propose first. I am very happy for them, but of course I am already stressing about how we are going to make it happen in a year.

I did it! I convinced my husband to go on that long hike today that heâd cancelled, and had my day alone. No conversation, not doing anything for other people, just went around the town and did all the things that I wanted to do. It was wonderful! I recommend that everyone do this every now and then.

Breathe in, breathe out, itâs not your business. Why do we continue to want life to be all roses and butterflies for the kids? Everyone has to learn their own lessons. All will be well.

I finally found a Medicare broker who explained things that I wanted to have explained. I did a ton of research, but I just wasnât sure that what I thought was best, actually was. I needed someone I trusted to give their opinion. Looks like H will be set with his Medicare soon ⊠looking forward to paying less for healthcare going forward.

No. You do not need a tv in your college bedroom. You can watch content on your laptop like every other college student.
And why is it my job to buy a tv for the living room for a house of 7 kids? We are furnishing the couch, coffee table, kitchen table, and chairs. Let someone else buy it. I donât care that someone is bringing an air fryer or a blender and you are not. Last I knew, I was also supplying dishes because someone else is only bringing 4 sets. Let someone else figure it out.
(And oh yeah, I paid for a parking spot for you in the neighboring lot. The roommates are parking for free in your lot. Use that equivalent money to buy a tv).
