Thanks for the sympathy. I wish I felt comfortable telling them how I really feel. I've mentioned in the past that I would like to be included more. Things change for a bit and then we're back to only being included once in a while. My family is not the type to welcome a full scale clearing of the air. If you complain about the status quo, you are causing problems and the one with an issue. We really do get along fine most of the time, but there are sometimes they can be really thoughtless. I'm sorry so many of you have family issues yourself. Families are hard. Dknitter, yours made me laugh. If my kids aren't obsessing about one thing, it's something else. Minecraft, Pokemon, Doctor Who, Studio C . . . There is always something to be obsessed with. Wouldn't it be nice if they were obsessed with reading encyclopedias or doing math for fun? LOL

I'm sorry everyone Perumbula, my MIL would do he same thing. Her excuse was her and my sisters in law needed to do girls things cuz they had kids and needed to get away. I didn't
Right now I'm hurt by actions of my 21 yo DS. My DH tells me to "get over it" "I thought you were done with it" Heck I would love to talk about my feelings but he doesn't want to hear it. I told him that he was my DH and this is our house and I should be able to talk out it with him - just let me vent - and he wonders why I don't talk.

My vent is my 17 yo DD continues to be a PITA. Even with spending a lot of $ on a 2-week residential program with her this summer and being on meds, nothing seems to be helping her cope with stress. Will talk it over with her doctor at her next appt. We are taking a road trip tomorrow and I sure hope it goes ok, but realistically, I am not that hopeful. Any sort of stress just sets her off and I'm tired of walking on eggshells.

Could you reply on facebook with something like "sounds like fun, let me know next time, I would love to join you!"
Sorry you felt left out. I hope they include you next time.

small vent - dh gets upset and worries if I don't let him know I am on my way home, which is ok, cuz then I get an idea of when he'll be leaving. BUT if he leaves early and gets home before me, I never know until I get home and see his car in the drive. today he was home before me long enough to dry the load I had started this morning (delay start on washer) and put a load in washer, but didn't start it....and he was sitting reading when I got in the house. ugh....
at least he didn't expect dinner the minute I walked in.

Oh dang I feel all the pain here. My petty vent: My DD3 is moving out of state for college in a month and the only day off her boyfriend has are Sundays. We'd like to not do secular things on Sunday but we also want to do fun things/make memories with them before they move. My DD2 is moving back to college in about a month and her boyfriend doesn't really ever want to do anything with us. DD1's only days off are Mondays and Tuesdays so there's no time for us all to get together. Her boyfriend annoys the other DD's and their boyfriends. THAT I would say just suck it up but lately he's been annoying my DH and me too. In just one month all of my babies will be gone and I will be in an empty nest. I am sad.
