Do all UChicago and USC(Cal) parents have rankings anxiety?
So, I flag another illegal gun sale on fb. But not really a gun sale since it’s a sale of “bump stocks”. They tell me it may or may not be drug related but it doesn’t violate their community standards so it’s staying up. This time, I’m allowed to “rate this experience” and comment on it so I do, yes I do, comment on it. Drug sale, sheesh…
Why, yes, I would like my adult children to take a day off work and classes to come up the evening before my mother’s Celebration of Life service. Leaving at 7pm and driving all night will indeed get you there by the time the service starts, but … really? I can just go up and deal with the legal stuff two days early , then go to dinner on my own. Since, yeah, not expecting brother and family to show up before 3am Saturday either. Call me crazy but I really think you, DH, might have thought of kicking their behinds without me kicking yours. Yes, we all know you hated your MIL… she is ashes now and you might turn your attention to me, still among the living, if not the noticed.
Rude and thoughtless.
You’re smart and capable. Each option has its pros and cons, but they’re both decent options. There is no really wrong decision. I just wish it weren’t so hard for you.
Your kids on his 6th hockey team in 5 years, maybe he’s not as good as you think he is. He got one goal last year, he’s not playing D1, sorry.
Oh my. Dear future in-laws to my DD. Do you realize your behavior makes H and I look like angels from heaven? Do you realize your unreasonable demands, your attempts at coercion and your bullying will result in the couple choosing us over you whenever there is a choice?
If it wasn’t making my future SIL - a wonderful man with a heart of gold - so very sad and stressed, I would allow myself a momentary smirk and sense of superiority. But really, I’d much rather you just put on your grown up panties and stop this horrid behavior.
Yo. She wants me to drive 11 hours to Canada tomorrow, in my car, and turn around to come back on Sunday. Because she can’t afford the car rental and needs another driver. This is someone else’s family celebration. Plus I have my own events Thu, Sat, Sun, and a drive 3 hours north on Monday.
I gently said No. Patting myself on the back for standing back, much as I’d love a long road trip.
Staph, strep, or Lyme! I’m so glad you went into urgent care this morning. And the main reason you went in was for an unrelated symptom! Whew.
Retirement will not come soon enough. Let’s just hope the stress does not do me in first. I need to start buying lottery tickets.
I don’t have a good feeling about this. I hope i’m wrong.
So glad DD has had her own epiphany about you already and I will likely not need to deal with any of the unpleasant alternatives that I have had bumping around in my head. So proud that she is more than just book smart!!
Happy? An award? It’s not a contest.
Thanks to the underclass men on S18’s team for coming to our house under cover of darkness and TP’ing our trees and Saran-wrapping his car! It is a tradition ar S’s school groups of underclassmen to get together and do that to their favorite seniors the night before the last home game of the season. Been a long hard season for S. He didn’t always necessarily feel like part of the team. But he will tomorrow when he wakes up and realizes that the mess in our yard was the work of several of you, and that he still made a difference for you. Thanks for recognizing him, despite the inexplicable decisions your stupid coach made this season!
FedEx. You suck. “Delivery exception” is a euphemism for “we broke your stuff.” You can’t be trusted with anything bathroom related, be it toilets or cat litter. I will be ordering 5 cat litters next time to spite you. Worked for UPS.
let’s see…it has taken since May for you to understand that you made mistake that absolutely needed to
be fixed. You were absolutely OK with letting me suffer so that you could do what you wanted to do.
NOW all of a sudden you “get it” and now you are this puffed up hero because you are fixing what you
did and what you were going to let me suffer from…now just how does this work?
I appreciate it, even with the fact that you are just an idiot sometimes. But I learned a huge lesson and
my generosity is seriously curtailed going forward. My instant need to take care of you and others is going
to take a long long pause from here on.
My friend starts chemo today. Here’s a prayer that it accomplishes what it should, and that it’s not as awful for her as we all fear.
Dear Son, please don’t leave me a text message that just says “got hit by a car but I’m okay. maybe a slight concussion.” Love, Mom. (He was okay.)
She made a decision. Rationally and sensibly. I’m so proud of her!
Ok, I think I hit the water retention stage of weight loss…my belly feels like a water balloon not fat
