My vent for the day, feel free to add yours

What is their reasoning for wanting other people to pay for their vacation? And who actually contributes?

Not a fan of paying for people's honeymoon.

I was shocked to receive a Go Fund Me request through FB for an extended family member to fund her DD's Miss Teen pageant expenses. DH responded to the FB link that he is "sorry money is tight, hope things turn around soon". His cousin made it very clear they could afford everything, but wanted to give us all an opportunity to be part of DD's journey .

I couldn't believe how many Go Fund Me requests were for fun things like vacations and senior year expenses (prom, limos, photos). 

Those things irritate me! If you want a nice elaborate vacation, save for it, don't expect your family and friends to front the money when most of us would like a great vacation too but we are busy paying for car repairs, our own children's weddings, etc.

I can understand something like this for an educational trip, or even medical expenses. My brother survived leukemia, and even though they had health insurance, they are still paying medical bills. But I know of a PASTOR who started a go fund me because they wanted to have another baby and needed a bigger car. Erm....how about planning ahead? Or here's a thought. If you KNOW YOU CAN'T AFFORD THE THINGS FOR A NEW BABY, DON'T HAVE ONE!

Why did I just type in all my account info only to finally get a human on the line who makes me repeat the same info? Annoys the h%^& out of me.

If you don't want to work with my autistic son because his psychotic behaviour scares you that's okay but don't think you have the authority to contact health professionals without my consent and then act like the sky is falling saying I have not been available for my son. I am the only person who is there for him. I ended a 20 year nursing career to be there for him. I am now switching to family managed support to hire people I can trust to work with my son.

If you are going to quote me, please don't only quote a PIECE of my post, quote the entire post. thank you

This is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. I can't stand spending ten minutes giving information to an automatic answering system only to have to repeat myself once I get to a human!! My bank's customer service line is a frigging nightmare. I actually asked one of the reps if people are already even more irate when they get on the line and he agreed that it's a huge issue.

Once in 4 years you are spending a weekend with your daughter at MY convenience and you won't get her on Thursday, because it would be too late for your son ?? he's 2 it will be 7pm and that is 6pm your time. He doesn't go to bed until 9!!

So now I have to change my plans and see if the conference can change when I am speaking... Seriously. ONE F'ING TIME!! You couldn't email me and ask me if these times work for me???

ONE TIME!!!!

Uh.. and don't use your son we all know.. yes even your daughter knows that the REAL reason you won't come to town on Thursday is so that your WIFE can shop in Charlotte on Friday cause we don't have any shopping in Asheville! UGH I am so over your BS!!!

Thank you so much I needed this!

Fellow Booster mom you said you would make the instrument covers.... 1 year and 3 months later we still don't have them and you are blaming me.... sorry I am not to blame for your laziness. I did investigate and know that you only took them to the screen printer last Thursday not a month ago like you said you did.

Husband has a cold. Nuff said.

My shoulder has been aching for the past few hours. I'm guessing the typhoon in the far east is going to hit in my neighborhood. It always hurts when bad weather is approaching. When I was a teacher, I could predict the snow days with my shoulder

My vent today is about parents who surprise their little ones with scary things like Dr. visits that include shots,x-rays, or cast removal, hair cuts at a salon and the worst a visit with Santa at the mall.

Today my DGS2 (age 2 and one month) got his cast off. He was prepared all week and was happy to get his cast off. His mom broke her ankle while pregnant with him and told him how it would sound, how they would saw it off. Showing him pictures I'd taken for her pregnancy book. They even watch a video of a kid getting a cast off. He was ready to get his picture taken without his cast (final x-ray.) He was fine, no crying and didn't need to be held down. He was looking forward to a bubble bath and a special treat a shower.

Later I had an appointment at my hair salon, a mother brought in her little one (2-2 1/2)laughing that he had no clue what was in store for him. He screamed a lot. In fact he screamed all through my appointment. This poor child was traumatized because his parent expected a child that has been her less than 500 hundred days to know what a haircut is!
