BIL is graduating from college, from U of Michigan. He gets 8 tickets. Ok, the boys can stay home. Oh wait, what? I don't get the 8th ticket? Why? Because Dad invited his EX girlfriend to attend the graduation with him. No, she's not a long time girlfriend (they dated for like 6 months). She met BIL a total of three times. I've met her twice. DH met her twice. There is no special relationship there. FIL invited her because he didn't want to sit alone while MIL is sitting with her long time boyfriend. As far as I know, DH's grandfather has never met her and they have broken up! But no.... I don't get that last spot because FIL demands he gets it for his EX girlfriend.
In order for me to get the 8th ticket, MIL's boyfriend or DH's grandpa on his Dad's side would have to stay home. I'm not demanding the 8th spot over either one of them.
Fine, whatever. It starts really early anyways. I'll just stay home with the boys. Just let me know when I have to show up at MIL's for the cook out she's supposedly planning.

Be excited you don't have to sit through some boring 4 hour ceremony. But you are validated. You're right, he is wrong. But he did do you a huge favor.

My vent: people who break the law and get a ticket and then complain that the cop is an asshole for doing his job.

Ok here goes:
Are you FREAKING KIDDING ME???
I ordered in a "champagne" flavouring because you insisted that was the only flavour you wanted for your cake. I wasn't buying a whole bottle of champagne to make one sample box. You weren't happy with the first one, so asked if it could somehow be a stronger flavour, more pronounced. So even though I only provide one sample box per couple, I made an exception and made you one cupcake to pick up. And NOW you tell me your freaking mother in law is going to make your cake?
The only satisfaction is you had to drive over an hour to pick up that one extra cupcake. So ha ha on you.

Dear nearly 16 yo DS-this isn't my first rodeo. Your sister got away with crap because I was a newbie to the teenager years. I am now a seasoned veteran, so you will not get away with half the crap she did. You are getting your license next month but I am seriously considering not adding you to insurance (might be required if they have access to a car whether with permission or not) and certainly not providing you a car if the attitude continues.
Why in the world are you at 19 gigs of data with 10 days left of the billing period? You have Wifi at home which means you are blowing through data while at school when you are supposed to be paying attention in class! No wonder your grades suck! You were home virtually all weekend yet you wait until late Sunday night to BEGIN homework??? Then stay up until 3 a.m. and oversleep throwing off my day?? You can stop the eye roll when I talk to about picking up the slack some too.
UGH-he's supposed to be my easy kid and is starting attitude at the same age DD did. I already turned off his data on his phone for the rest of our billing period since he can't seem to control his usage. DH wants to lease him a cheap car instead of having him Ubering when I can't get to him for after school pick up but that will be over my dead body. Here kid, here's a car, you raised your grade from an F to a D. No way! He's capable of a B average, he just doesn't put in the effort, instead messing around with his Youtube channel.

What don't you understand about the label on the boxes that say - Linda's to Scan from Fairborn - not just add your crap into the box and Linda will scan it for you too. And to top it off when I tell you I put your items you put in my scan box on top of the file cabinet for you to go through, you say what files?! They were just dated last week, really! Then say, Oh wait, I though you were going to scan all of those too - NO!

Oh I'm OK with the whole I don't have to be there at 8am, sit through 4 hours for one person in a stadium that said I can't take my knitting with me thing. I'm just irked that my ticket was taken by an ex girlfriend that doesn't even know the family. And dh is upset because now he has to choose between his parents because his dad is childish enough to sit elsewhere.

DH, I don't care if you think you are better than me because you have a job with a paycheck. I still work.
Also it doesn't count as you making dinner if I have to start the grill, check the meat to make sure it's cooked through, find all the ingredients, make the side dishes, find the plates and forks to eat with, dish out the food and do the dishes afterwards. Buying the chicken and turning the meat over half way through does not count as making dinner.

My vent for the day-My 14 year old shih tzu decided to jump on her 10 year old shih tzu brother this morning and got her ass handed to her. He got her in the eye before we could break it up. He scratched it somehow and she bled, now it is bruised and swollen. Got her in to the vet, the eyeball is okay, but have to do antibiotic ointment for a week. She looks pitiful. Last month she developed a large fatty tumor and the other one got a skin infection, the vet loves us. They are costly little rotten dogs that are lucky they are cute.

Craft bloggers- I like your project and want to learn how to make it but have to watch them without sound because:
Every sample, stamp etc is eith "stinking" cute, yummy or AWESOME You giggle the entire time You tell me all that is going on in your life Have all materials ready before you make the video- not run off to find a supply or the name of a product.

My employer offers several significant scholarships each year to high school seniors. I'm the Chair and we have specific requirements that are not particularly difficult to comply with (i.e., copy of your transcript, three letters of recommendation, etc.).
Every year I toss a handful of applications out because they are incomplete, even though the letter that goes to the schools states that incomplete applications will not be considered. It makes me feel bad that an otherwise deserving student doesn't have a chance at a nice scholarship because he/she (or someone else?) didn't take the time to make sure that all required documents were included. Details, students, pay attention to details!

Can I just second all of the above and add: PLEASE turn off the background television! It is so distracting to hear the television blaring in the background. I get it, I really do... a lot of the time I have the tv on for background noise and I'm not really aware of what is playing but I'm not trying to make a video! Unfortunately, I've stopped watching videos that probably had some good information in them because of background noise irritation.

Small world! My DH works at Wright Pat and I worked by Wright State until about 3 years ago, they are closing the office and we have to clear everything out by August.

I took away my daughter's data when she went over and "had no idea" how it could have happened. It took her a couple of months to magically remember. My vent: why is it so hard to declutter and clean? I feel like Sisyphus.

Details, students, pay attention to details! The local board of Realtors here does a scholarship as well. The lack of rule following is so bad this year that the chair of the committee said they wouldn't even have enough applicants to award all the money available if they toss all the people who didn't follow the rules. I really don't get how it's so hard to follow instructions. My vent: Listen Princess, you are not allowed to just decide you don't want to buy the house the day before closing and then get to keep your earnest money. My sellers have bent over backward to do the repairs you requested and it's not our fault you were blinded by pretty furniture and now you are not wanting the house since you've seen it empty. Either sign on the dotted line, or hand over your earnest money. We're good either way.

Why do "stupid" people on FB complain about stupid people? Do they not realize that they themselves are stupid? I would like to give you 1000 likes! My vent is I'm tired. I'm a single parent whose ex has little to do with the kids. He pops and sees them once a month for dinner (separately). Max. He's very nice, but he is not a parent. I'm worried about one of my college kids this summer and I said it to him (I'm trying to be nice and share) and he looks at me completely puzzled and says "Why are you thinking about the summer? Just worry about the now." Sigh. Why am I thinking ahead? Because I am a parent and that's what parents do.

If you are stopping to pick up someone please at least put on your turn signal and pull over to the side as much as possible. I had no idea why you were stopped in the middle of the road. Is there a hazard in front of you? Are you having car problems? Do I honk? Do I try to go around you or wait?

I realize that you were a cheating ass husband but always thought you were a relatively decent father, as long as there was not too much effort required on your part. So you skipped her high school graduation gift because of whatever reason and promised her when she moved into her own place, you'd get her a washer/dryer. The condo she rents from me already had one so that was one item off your list, but you never made any effort to ever get her any grad gift. fine. But apparently now that she has passed her 21st birthday, she no longer is eligible for a birthday present or Christmas present from you. I understand you have a nice little replacement family but she is doing so well and being responsible--just a birthday or Christmas card from you would mean so much to her. She will not say a word to you, of course, and I cannot say a word, either, but man, you turned out to be a loser across the board.

I have been unable to adequately clean my house for the last six weeks so I didn't want to have DD's birthday party here at the house. Which means we have to hold it somewhere else. It has to happen in roughly two weeks (a few weeks before her actual birthday because the bounce house place with the big slides where she would like to go is losing their lease and has to move) and that was the last day we could do it there. Now I'm scrambling around like a fool trying to get invites out ASAP, get stuff together for the cupcakes, get stuff together for goodie bags that isn't cheap plastic junk no one wants, get a few My Little Pony decorations all while being marginally mobile with my foot still in a boot for another six weeks, which is why I can't clean my own house. And if I hear DH complain about this party that he hasn't had to do anything to plan or prep for one more time, I'm going to throat punch him.

I realize I'm only a guest in your home. I know that you and your dog live here and I don't. However, you couldn't remove the masses of dog hair from..well everything..before inviting people into your home? You invited us, we didn't just drop by. Really. You couldn't take 5 little minutes and clean off a single seat? Please understand I enjoy your company but yeah I won't be returning to your house of hair ummm I mean your home.
