Funny, I love you and I don't usually mind tailoring our meals to your tastes and to protect your 'delicate' stomach. But I watched you slug down my cousin's gumbo and go back for seconds. IT was spicy - deliciously so - but SPICY. Tonight I added a single pinch of red pepper flakes to my red beans and you'd have thought I gave him habanero jam. I'd be more sympathetic if the explosion had happened BEFORE you saw the jar of pepper flakes sitting on the counter, rather than after you commented on it. No, I didn't make it tp suit my taste because you can still eat it and you couldn't do that if I made it the way i like to eat it.
Wonder how he's going to react when he realizes I am going to change our diet even more if I get back another high A1C?

Just a quesion, what was the purpose of you posting this on facebook? Boy Scouts is designed to allow the boys to make decisions about what they do with their lives, not their mom, dads nor scout leaders. If your son posted this on facebook, that would have been more appropriate, but for so many reasons, I wouldn't have even encouraged that. My son's troop wear purple and only purple class b shirts, it's their troop color. If he wanted another color, we would have purchased the troop color and the color of his choice. Well since you posted this on facebook, you got what you wanted, now what about your son? Will this t shirt thing continue to be blow out of proportion or will he be able to go on and enjoy his troop? Can you let me know if you saw this on Facebook? If you did you'd see plenty of people supported my son being able to order the pink shirt. The support was over whelming and I am thankful that people supported me. I completely uderstand what your saying about Boy Scouts being for boys. If the boys objected to this I would understand but this was an angry leader who is only involved to further her future with Boy Scouts of America. The option to order this shirt is on the form. This Troop changes Class B shirts all of the time so there is no Troop color. I am not sure what your reading into or implying by saying "since you posted this on facebook, you got what you wanted". So, thanks for venting on my vent post! Hope your feeling better! I know I felt better yesterday when many people came forward and supported my son and I. Sigh, I'm on your side, and I am glad that you are feeling better because you were supported. I was just wondering whether or not by taking this situation to facebook helps your son's situation since you said that the "pissed off" troop members took to facebook in response to your posts. In any event, hope everything works out for you all.

I have great doctors, but when I'm struggling with being able to focus, being able to concentrate or finding motivation, reading materials, therapy 'homework', and attending appointments aren't going to help... They're the exact things I'm struggling with - the things I can't make happen atm...
I agree with all their suggestions about what could help... I'd gladly do X if it wasn't for the fact that the problem is I can't do X... And if I could do X then there wouldn't be a problem... I feel like I can't breathe and they're telling me that if I inhale, exhale, and repeat, I could fix the fact that I can't breathe...
If I'm not getting it, then tell me in a different way (or at least tell me I'm not understanding it)... And if those are the only ways to fix things, then stop telling me about them... Hearing it repeated over makes me feel stupid and incapable, frustrated and more depressed...

If we make an appointment (husband actually...who can't always be trusted with these things, but wife can't get away with breaking HIPPA rules and doing all of that for him) and ask how much it's going to cost, it's not okay to wait until the day before the appointment to tell us...just in case we say, can't afford it. Fortunately, they included the weekend in the 48 hour window for cancellations without a fee ($100 that I'm sure that they would just starve without) otherwise we'd be out that money because they just assume it's okay to wait until the last minute to acquire such important information (after insisting that was the time it took for insurance to get back to them) in spite of other physicians providing that information within an hour.

It's 2016, so it's really not cool to ask for the man of the house when trying to sell something. Especially if the name you keep asking for is actually the wife with a gender neutral first name! We quit using a certain tree service 2 years ago and found a better service. Monday one of their salesmen showed up at the door wanting to look things over - and obviously try to sell me services. He first asked for "T", my first name. I said yes and told him we no longer used them. Then he said he thought this was the "S" (last name) home, to which I answered that it still was. So then the idiot proceeded to ask if "T.S." was here and could he talk to him. He got a very frosty response that I was "T.S." and as I had previously told him, we no longer used their services. Even if I had been thinking about it, him asking for the 'man' of the house nixed that! Haha! We have a lot of things like that and I'm an at home parent so I get to deal with it ALL. I was reminded of a funny instance (flattering maybe, now that I'm 30??) thanks to 'on this day' on FB about a sales call and the man on the other side asking if my 'mommy or daddy was home'. To his credit, I have a security door that can be hard to see through during certain times of the day, but still...you see a full grown shadow open the door, you don't assume they are a child based solely on the 'hello' in their voice.

That's my ex. He won't see a doctor. When I tell him DS has to be seen twice a year for his ADHD meds, he gets bitchy and calls it a money grab. I'm like, dude, I don't even ask you to pay the co pay or anything, so stfu! I pay that because I get so tired of hearing him whine. My vent? Stupid neighbors got a small inflatable pool last summer. Used it once. Left it out. Now, after being out all winter, it's ruined. There's standing water, a bunch of leaves, and a trash can in it. Today, there's a mosquito in my house. The standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes and it'll sit there until may at least. Landlord won't do anything about it. I would be stabbing that thing. Call the city and lodge a complaint. It's a health hazard. You can't have green pool water here for 20 minutes without the health department being notified.

I babysit my niece's 17 month old daughter. After months of her bringing her on days I wasn't expecting her, not bringing her on days I am expecting her, bringing her at lunch time right in the middle of me feeding the other kids I care for without any warning so I can be prepared with enough food, bringing her or picking her up during nap time and being just loud enough to wake up all the kids I have finally had enough. I told her how much I love her daughter and enjoy the time I get with her but I need a schedule. I need to know when she is coming so I can prepare. I have other kids in my care and disturbing their schedule just isn't fair. She works for her mom and comes and goes pretty much as she pleases. It is just unfair for anyone to expect her to keep a regular schedule since she is taking care of a baby and expecting another one. Her life is hectic and busy. She doesn't know how her mom expects her to be to work before noon because by the time she gets up and gets showered, gets her baby up and feeds and bathes her, it is just too hard to get to work before noon or one. How can anyone say those things and not realize how spoiled they are? Millions of moms have kids, pregnancies, husbands and jobs that require them to be at work on time every single day or get fired. She doesn't see outside her own spoiled existence. Since I told her I need to know the days and approximate times she will be bringing her baby to me, I get a strong vibe she has been talking about me to the family. I haven't asked them. This is my husband's family and I don't want to stoop to her level and talk about the situation to them. The all know how much I love her child and have seen me bend over backwards for her since she was born. I will keep my head up and keep the drama to myself but I am done being walked all over. If she wants me to continue watching her child, she has to respect me and my schedule. Man, that felt good to get out!! Ugh, this sucks. I feel so badly for you!! My niece is similar...I tend to not say no because I want to try and help out (she's 22 with 2 unplanned kids and a horrid husband who lives off of her but acts like he's single) and know that I'll get bad mouthed to people I hardly know if I don't (can you imagine how awkward it is being in the presence of her friends wondering what lies they've been told because they didn't get what they wanted on a silver platter?). Edited out the diatribe. Figured it was very specific and if I'm googled, my family would cause unnecessary drama for me being upset over legitimate things that normal people would be upset over.

Scrapaddict - you are either a saint or a doormat. Or maybe a bit of both.
Just say no.

People are kind of sucking right now, from worst to just annoying:
-Asses who broke into my parent's house, stole my dad's truck and used it as a battering ram to rob another place: burn in hell
-Daughter's biomom: You still treat your daughter like crap at 23. She has been a better mom in her 5 months than you ever have been or will be. When you move to Mexico to live with your deported fourth husband, please don't ever come back.
-Boss: You can't be a nickpicker and also expect that I know when to do things exactly when your mind seems to think they should be done. Somewhere in the middle would be great.
Friend: Your son is not as innocent as you always think he is. Also your house is so gross I won't visit until it is a bit cleaner.

Scrapaddict - you are either a saint or a doormat. Or maybe a bit of both. Just say no. Neither or a little bit of both. My usual answer is a resounding no (when it comes to money or anything like that because I've watched my niece's mom put herself in a bad position by lending things she can't afford to not get back and then she never gets it back), but because I don't trust strangers to watch my kids, if I had said no then they would have punished me by refusing to watch our kids at all, plus he was about 1 at the time and my kids and him didn't see each other much, so I thought ultimately, it would be good for all 4 of the kids to get to know each other...after all, they're family.
