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

Child, you are a complete and utter slob. Please tell me that I didn’t leave several open cereal boxes in an unairconditioned apartment for 3 months when I was a student. Amongst other things…

Holding my breath.

She’s due for good karma. OK world, be nice.

The equivalent would be teaching men about rape culture and sexual assault, not assaulting them. The same way a seminar is not equivalent to making your child homeless for a year to understand their privilege.

Please don’t overdo it today.

Why does EVERY conversation turn back to NMF. I get it, your kids are probably going to be NMF. But goodness please give it a rest or start your own separate conversation so you can talk about it amongst yourselves.

Last week I was feeling really overwhelmed by the heaviness of both sides of my sandwich generation bread. Thank you all for a couple of wonderful low carb days!

Hit 50LB loss to day!

You scheduling a meeting at lunchtime doesn’t mean that I won’t take my lunch after. Please leave me be for the next 40 minutes.

I knew you would throw a tantrum. That is why I didn’t want you to come on the trip with us. Making it impossible to stay for the eclipse, making college move in about you not your brother, making us leave without me ever getting to say goodbye to S are all just so wrong! I know you have emotional issues but a lot of this was just pure selfishness! If we weren’t worried about you hurting yourself you would be on your own! I’m so tired of handling this!

Really. If you screw this up, it’s nobody’s fault but your own. Really. I’m holding my breath, but maybe you don’t deserve it.

I always understood that my other eye might have a vitreous detachment; luckily no complications. I always understood I might get a second bout of diverticulitis, luckily mild. But over the same weekend?? I blame it on the eclipse, harbinger of the end of the world.

Wow. For someone who has never worked with students or gone away to college, you sure seem to know a lot about the social-emotional life of college students. Don’t post on Facebook making fun of parents who asked reasonable questions at your oldest child’s college orientation. As you seem not to have respect for others, I’ve lost quite a bit of respect for you. I do hope that your child who is thousands of miles away and in a completely different culture does well.

You have no idea how much I would love to walk out the door and leave you to try to run this place. Fortunately, it’s not about you …

Phew!

Ok construction people across the street. This is the 2nd time you have hit a gas line. None of us in our community can exit or enter. I want to go home.

I can’t stop eating frozen fruit even though it makes me itchy when I overdo it. Darn strawberries. I wish they would leave them out.

I look forward to a day where I get to enjoy summer and not be bothered by jerks on vacation where I live

I’m selfish? Really. You are home, playing on the internet while someone else is cleaning our house. You have made less than 6000 this year (which we’re still waiting for from that one big client) while I’ve worked full time at a job I’d love to leave. You went to see the eclipse while I moved our kid into college. I unexpected get my period after 9 months and your concern is how that effects you. And I’m selfish. SMH
