Say it here cause you can't say it directly- the get it off your chest thread (Part 1)

Pot, let me re-introduce you to kettle. >:)

No, I cannot contribute to your $37.6 billion endowment. I cannot “get back in the game.” Please stop emailing and calling.

Stop enabling your college grad children. Stop giving your college grad $3000 a month to attend concerts, go shopping, visit friends, and eat out every day. Stop telling her it is ok to wait for the perfect job to come along. Stop making excuses for her unwillingness to send out resumes. Stop enabling your other child by telling her that if she does not like the work at her 8 week internship, she can quit. I recognize that your behavior is none of my business but it is frustrating to watch and is making me crazy.

Praying for Turkey. May the victims rest in peace :’(

I hope relying on the goodness of fellow humans and the kindness of strangers and hoping someone found and turned in your wallet (with 100s of dollars in college graduation presents) works for you. (I took some action and called both airports, and filed a claim with Southwest).

Oh my god. The stupid. It hurts.

Conversation/counseling a college student who ignores the ringing phone in our retail business. Me: it seems like you don’t care about what happens here. What do you want to get out of this job? Him: I want to help your business.

I’m pulling my hair out. He’s like a toddler who can’t follow sequential directions.

BTW! He asked about promotion opportunities before he worked a day.

You cannot solve or shoulder the entire emotional weight of your parents’ dementia, your brother’s manipulations, & your sister’s failing marriage. You are so stressed that I fear you’ll stroke out before your parents die, and yet you are unwilling/unable to set boundaries, seek counseling, exercise, or take any action beyond snapping at me and letting it eat you alive.

Her CEA has doubled. I’m gutted.

I really don’t want any more bad news this week.

Retread, I bet.

Your daughter’s high school senior portraits creep me out, because they look like a men’s magazine spread.

Really inappropriate for a high school portrait, imho…

I know that you often encourage her to look and act “sexy”, and… why? Your daughter is so much more than how she looks, and how attractive she is to men.

Your ex - and her father- cheated on you because he didn’t feel you met his ideal standards of female beauty and constantly ridiculed you for it.

Please let your daughter know that her self-worth is not tied to how she looks.

We got a sweet note from Harvard Pilgrim telling us they’ve requested an 18.7% rate increase for 2017 health insurance premiums. Isn’t that something? Kind of them to let me know now, so I can worry for six months.

That, on top of struggling to find coverage for my son when he is in Beirut that will cover his pre-existing condition.

I was going to post last week “Can there be a worse company to deal with on the phone than Verizon?” but I never did. Now I’m glad, so I can say, “is there a worse company to deal with on the phone than Express Scripts?” [mail-order pharmacy my insurance forces me to use]

Two friends, both with breast cancer, in late sixties. Both so healthy. Exercising, a nurse, a teacher, did everything right. Just hard.

Express Scripts - you are the worst!. Your robo-people stink. Your real people stink. You are unintelligent and poorly trained. I don’t have time to fix this problem you’ve created.

DJIA completely recovered from the blip. Darn, I missed an opportunity.

Express Scripts you have cheated me for the last time. I am off to complain to the BBB.

Dear karma, I guess I need to let you know where to find me.

I should probably have found a better way to handle this by now.
