A list of recent grievances

I have to get some of this off my chest or I may explode.


My mil gave my bil a father's day card with money in it and I can't get over it. Why? He has NO children.......she gave her only son(father of her only 4 grandchildren)a card with the same amount in it. I really don't care about the amount of money or card, I mean some parents don't even give their children Father's day or Mother's day cards, BUT doesn't my husband get(DESERVE) the recognition on this day? My bil recently graduated from a law enforcement agency. Did my husband get a card and gift because although he has have never done it, he has always dreamt of being a sheriff? I mean, I think it is ridiculous.

We went to visit my fil's grave on Father's Day. We brought flowers and the kids drew some cute cards for "papa". Besides my sil making it all about her, she had the nerve to....thank me for coming. to thank her BROTHER for coming to his own father's grave. to thank her father's GRANDCHILDREN for coming. It was insulting.

My mother gives my husband a son-in-law card. Nice. With a coupon in it for babysitting. Nice, but for only 4 hours. What? Not a night out on the town? 4 hours and she means it. Literally. I shouldn't be greedy I know, but by the time we get out of the house and to where we would want to go 45 minutes are gone and 45 minutes back home. There goes 1 1/2 hours. Also, part of my frustration is that the last time we went on a date at night(we did get a lunch date a couple months ago) is December 30th!!! We seriously need to look into a babysitter or 2. My parents get off on the control.

White hair is popping out all over my head and I will have to wait for another 2 weeks to see Mauricio my favorite hair stylist in the world. The wait is going to be agony for me and anyone who is looking at my hair!

My husband never does laundry. Okay, I take it back. He has done towels on occasion. So, why on the day that I put some delicates in cool water so they don't shrink.....he decides to put them in the DRYER? I can't stay mad at him, he was trying to help, but man there went about $150. Frustrating!

My parents are considering moving and I couldn't be happier. It is not as if we see them all that much, but here is the kicker. My grandmother will still be here. Which will leave me to all those responsibilities added to my newly widowed, disabled mil, and my little family. I love my grandma, but I don't know if I am going to be able to stretch myself this much. UGH!


Wow, that felt good. It is so great to have an apartment to run off to!
