<p>I know that things will be hard and I just want you to be happy. But it is okay to share your feelings and let someone know you will miss them. Quit trying so hard to protect yourself. Sometimes hurt and sadness is part of life.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Please stop placing me in the middle of your kidsā drama: I do not want to know and I do not know what to say when you tell me all the sorid details about this or that, some of which appear to be exaggerations. I love your kids, but I will not fight their battles with you. </p></li>
<li><p>To my MIL - If you think you can bad-mouth me to my kids, think again.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I just took dad to the doctor and out for lunch. Why the hell did you call him to check on what I did for him today? Are you insane or just a bigger control freak than I ever knew? Stop checking on what I am doing because it is making me resent you. Our father already thinks you walk on water so why do you feel the need to be so superior to everyone? I canāt take being around you and your superior attitude. By the way I know it ****ed you off that P graduated MIT this weekendā¦remember how shocked you and your wife were when he was acceptedā¦that must really be bugging you that my kid has done so well.</p>
<p>I think youāre under the mistaken impression that putting more pressure on me will somehow motivate me to perform. In fact, it just makes me angry and more likely to leave. Back off and let me do what I do best.</p>
<p>I donāt care. I really donāt ****ing care. You people have eliminated my position. My last day is June 30. You are already treating me like I donāt exist. Why should I care about anything? You people obviously can handle it with out me ā¦ so handle it. I donāt care anymore.</p>
<p>why are you people so mean? would it kill you to include my kid sometimes?</p>
<p>To āCoachā ā¦ I am so glad my older S is out of your high school and out of your program, you big fat ****! You arenāt really the coach anyway ā¦ your dad is! You only got the job because your dad was coach when the school opened in 1965 and he retired when you were eligible to take the job. Your dad still runs the program - youāre just a figurehead and a bad one at that. If you did your job at all, youād look beyond the politics and the parents currying favor with you to see that my S was as good or better than the kids who got playing time. My H often couldnāt come to the games, because it hurt him to see S snubbed. Fortunately, younger S is going to another school, with a brand new coach who appreciates all his kids and wants them to do well. </p>
<p>To āCā - For Godās sake, take responsibility for your kid for once in your life! When he was in third grade, I used to see him cutting across the field to go to school because you were too lazy to drop him off at the door. He was always the last one picked up at Scouts, sports, etc. and you had the gall to tell me that it was alright if I left him - heād be fine. How stupid can one person be? And how can two medical professional parents miss the fact that their son had appendicitis and let it rupture and have him end up spending a week in the hospital? And I was the one who had to pick him up at the bus stop when they got home from their senior trip because you were too freaking lazy to go out there at one in the morning! And you wonder why none of the other parents want anything to do with you? Your sonās a sweetheart, but thereās something seriously wrong with you!</p>
<p>On a roll tonight ā¦
To my brother-in-law and his wife-
Why do you have such a problem with S living on campus in the dorms when he goes to college in August, instead of commuting the 50 miles from our home, or going to the local eighth-tier university-in-name-only? Why do you care? You donāt have a dog in this fight and itās not your money. Heck, it isnāt really even our money when you get right down to it. S earned the scholarship and the AC grant. S signed for the student loans. The other grants he got are because I was savvy enough (thanks to CC!) to do some research and appeal his financial aid award. Neither one of you even went to college, you know nothing about it, so just shut up!</p>
<p>The 52% of you who voted ānoā are selfish and shortsighted. How many points do our SAT scores have to drop, how many kids have to fail the statewide mandated graduation exams, before you finally realize that you canāt keep cutting year after year after year without it impacting our kids? How many people have to die because we will no longer have a police/fire/ambulance dispatcher on duty 24/7, and we can only afford to run one ambulance? But you donāt care, because you donāt have kids in school, or you are too busy spending your winters in Florida. Thank heavens both of my kids have graduated.</p>
<p>I love you, but your procrastination and lack of attention to detail is killing me. Or it will kill you or someone else in your chosen profession. Fix it!</p>
<p>I saw you let your dog go to the bathroom and not pick it up. What was that plastic bag for in your back pocket?</p>
<p>My bathroom renovation is entering week 6 of what was supposed to be a 2 week job. I havenāt seen you since Friday. I sent you a text today asking if you would be working on our house today. Your answer āNot until tomorrow, is there something that I can do for you?ā could only elicit obscene replies, so I didnāt send any. GET THIS D*** JOB DONE!</p>
<p>Once you figured out that some of the things on the shelves hadnāt been washed properly in the dishwasher, the appropriate action would have been to take a look at ALL of the plates, not just the salad plates. Reloading the machine fully, and then re-running it would have been better than putting that space-hogging casserole into it, waking me up with the general news that things werenāt quite right, and then taking off for the day.</p>
<p>And what is this with leaving the coffee canister in the sink? It was soaking wet. Was it in there before you rinsed off the plate you fixed your bagel on? At least the plastic lid held, so the shipped-up-from-Miami coffee is fine.</p>
<p>Now Iām off to check that load of dishes that I just ran, and if theyāre OK, Iāll run another one. But maybe Iāll just wash the silverware by hand. Thereās too much to cram into that puny basket, and this way Iāll know that all of it is clean!</p>
<p>Stop saying, āAll things being equalā¦ā Itās wrong!!!</p>
<p>āAll things being equal, Iād eat the bigger scoop of ice cream.ā Well, if one of them is bigger, then all things arenāt equal, are they, Einstein???</p>
<p>The expression is, āAll other things being equalā¦ā Say it right. GrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRR!!!</p>
<p>Because you didnāt plan for the possibility of rain , you now expect me to fix it by bringing tentsā¦isnāt it enough that we are traveling 8 hours. I told you months ago to rent a tent , table and chairs but , noā¦
And I am supposed to fix food for 50 people too ? Are you kidding ?? This is the first time in months H is having a day off and he has to spend it taking care of what you didnāt prepare forā¦ugh</p>
<p>I am cranky today, for no good reason! Stop making me be cranky, universe! Raahhhh!</p>
<p>(This is a good mountaintop to shout fromā¦)</p>
<p>LUNCH!!! I wonāt remind you</p>
<p>You exercise poor judgment, and Iām ticked about the bcc.</p>
<p>Hereās a hint. Every day, I tell you to get out of bed at 6:45, that I will be LEAVING THE HOUSE at 7:15. Every day, you lollygag around in bed until 6:55, and ARENāT ready to leave on time. Why am I the only one that correlates getting up later with the fact that you arenāt ready on time. GET UP! or find your own @#$%^&%$# ride to school. I actually DO need to get to work on time, you know.</p>
<p>AND, perhaps you might be less tired if youād not stay up so late doing your homework. And, perhaps you might not have to stay up so late doing your homework, if you did it when you got home from school instead of taking a nap.
AND, perhaps you wouldnāt need a nap, if you went to bed at a decent hour.
SEE WHAT I MEAN?</p>
<p>Look, I know sheās your sister and I know she only comes in every few years, but I still donāt like her and never will. Sheās shallow and self-centered and makes me want to throw up. I have nothing to say to her and never will, so stop trying to make me like her!</p>
