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

Yes, unreasonable teacher we do have another child that needs to be moved home from college, we are both employed, and we do actually expect to sleep! Sending homework requirements at 9pm on a Sunday that requires the student take some action before school starts on Monday is ridiculous!!

We have been getting that in High School and I keep telling my daughter they wont do that to you in college!

uh oh…

Really? You are going to get jealous of her BF being involved with the event? They’ve been together over 6 months and have been working hard to pull this together. He’s also had actual performing experience. Be thankful for the additional support and move on.

Dude - you are so difficult at home and drive me crazy trying to get along with you.

yet - i can’t tell you how proud i am of you for passing it!! and for all of your hard work this year. Good job, son!

Ugh, I’m grumpy. I’d better stop responding to CC threads tonight. I’m finding them very annoying. “I got into a top 25 school but I’m a failure…” Ack.

I told you to go to the doctor last week when you started feeling sick. Now, the day before we leave town to fly across the country for ds’s graduation, you go to the doctor and – what a surprise! – you have strep. Sorry if I’m not sympathetic.

Dd, I’m sorry you are jealous of your little brother’s success. Yes we got him a used car for graduation. You got one too, remember, but you wrecked it! Yes he is going to England for a week. Remember you went to Europe for a week too. He is going away to college and we are planning a lot for it. You had a scholarship and turned it down to run away with a slimeball guy! You have tried local schools twice and dropped out both times after either a couple of weeks or a month. This is your choice and it doesn’t mean we love him more. At the moment we do love his choices and decisions more!

I think it’s time to take action. If not now, then when??

Oh my. Both candidates have confirmed attendance. This could get interesting.

Well, when you hire a clown, you can’t be surprised to wind up with a circus.

I’m really biting my tongue here , which is probably a move that successful , long time married couples do in order to stay married :smiley:

And yet again.

I understand striving for civility, but I prefer to make my own choices regarding who I listen to and who I ignore, particularly when one’s contributions far outweigh their snark.

Nope, not gonna get this one either. I’ll be stuck here forever. Why do I even make the effort?

This will be due yesterday? Do you know that yesterday was… yesterday?

My son was offered a part time, unpaid internship, and he accepted, mostly to build his resume and make contacts.
Today a guy from the company that took him on stopped by my office to say the guy he hooked him up with said my son is doing such a good job they are going to go ahead and pay him. (I don’t know the guy at all - he just works close to me and suggested I have my son call him and he’d see if he had any ideas for him).
My son also has a paid, full-time internship, but he can do this other one remotely, as his time allows.
(Now I’m hoping he did as well on the 2 finals he had today).

Please don’t let it take that long.

I am done living a lie. Told colleagues who commenting on our not sitting together at a meeting that the husband and I are pretty much separated. It’s a start.

Maybe an adult is finally stepping up.

This is just awesome!
