Ok need to vent someplace dh can't see. He decided to take a week off and gut the front kids bathroom. The toilet had leaked and the floor need replace. So he should started Thursday. Today is Sunday I have a big hole in the bathroom no sink or toilet. Kids can use there shower and we are down to one bathroom. I still need in there to paint and do a few thing before he lays down the new title. I swear if the sub flooring is not down by tonight I may be on the 6 o clock news.😠😡🤬

Here is my vent:
I don't appreciate being called 'selfish' for saying I don't want a hug after major surgery. Especially the day AFTER said surgery. While I appreciate you coming and seeing me, that doesn't mean you get to touch me.
This is the main person I complained about in a pervious vent thread. She means well but argh.

You can't hug someone after surgery! DH had someone get mad at me when I stopped her after he had parts of both lungs removed. I wrote her off as a friend at that point. |

darkangel090260 You have my support. I would also be frustrated! cecilia You have my sympathy. Sometimes people aren’t that smart or understand what you have gone through with your surgery.

I went through a lot of trouble to be kind to someone today and they weren’t all that receptive to my efforts. Pretty frustrating. I’m going to go for a run and see if I can get over it.

I would have cut her off with a "thank you, I'll take a virtual hug because I'm still sore". Which is exactly how MIL offered me a hug after my mastectomy, and I really appreciated it! |

My dad just had to have his PT give the hug discussion to my sisters kids. He's now in rehab (after he had a hard fall I need to update his status thread) but my neices are a little hyper. And very huggy but aggresive huggy.He has a back brace that's pretty hard, but they told them they still need to be careful as he's still tender and healing and such. I'm sure it's probably harder for kids to comprehend contact like that after surgery than adults. I don't think it's 'selfish' AT all. If anything more the opposite cause you wanna not hurt them. Virtual hug here, I hope you're feeling better and on the mend! |

So we grilled steak Friday night... well I didn’t. I was tired. The oldest sil decided that they could use Mother’s good dishes. Somehow they got dad to say yes. Btw there were enough Corelli dishes and I bought paper plates.
Mother’s dishes are very special ( over 70 years old and I will get them dad dies.)
Well the oldest sil puts them ( silver trim) in the dish washer. 2nd sil day I don’t think they go in there. The bitch replies I really don’t care, I am not going to hand wash them. Mfb
As soon as she left the kitchen , I rescued the dishes , hand washed them , found that someone CHIPPED a plate ( sil/ children was raised in a barn) and put them back in their spot!
No flipping reason to use these dishes for an outside barbacue. Sil just wanted to prove a point that she was in charge! Um go ahead believe that.

Friends who don’t understand that because I moved several hours away, I can’t be as present in their lives as I once was.

I am not a casual/indiscriminate hugger. I will tolerate hugs from a few individuals, but generally I don't hug anyone and everyone. I don't even need the excuse of recent surgery. You did nothing wrong. |

My vent - visitors and their phones.
My BFF and her room-mate came to stay with me over the weekend. There were several times that the room was totally silent because they were on their phones. They both seem addicted to them, actually. We even went to dinner and the room-mate pretty much stayed on her phone playing a game the entire time.
Sunday morning I timed them - they were on their phones for over 2 hours while I was sitting there waiting to go to breakfast (which got so late, it ended up being lunch) - when my friend finally said "Are you ready to go?" - I said "Are you?" I then proceeded to tell her that she had been on her phone for 2 hours while I sat there and waited. She said she had NO IDEA she was on that long - she really didn't - she felt awful and actually started crying because she didn't mean to disrespect me and be rude.
I told her that it can get away from you and that they both are addicted to them. They both admitted they were - the rest of the day, at least, they stayed off their phones (although when I stopped to get gas, I noticed the room-mate was in the back seat on her phone - yes, playing a game).
If you go visit someone, don't keep your nose in your phone the whole time...you can do that at home. Look up, enjoy life and being with the person you went to go visit.

My vent:
DH & I bought a lake cottage last fall. Sister A has dropped hints a few times about wanting to be invited out to visit. I've invited her 2x. Once for "anytime during the 2 weeks surrounding Christmas & New Year" and again over Memorial weekend. Neither time has she committed to coming. Our dad, myself, Sis A and Sis L (and our families) try to get together once a month for dinner. That has fallen to the wayside during the last year when Sis L moved about 3 hours away. Sis A also has shared custody of her DD, so we like to try to plan our dinners for her "on" weekends when she WILL have DD there. 2 times I've mentioned to them (in person) that we need to start doing these again and because Sis A has the shared schedule we plan around, that SHE needs to pick a date that works (since she knows the shared weekend dates, not us). She has agreed, but never initiates anything. Dad would really like the 3 of us to meet his girlfriend before Sis L's wedding. Which, by the way, Sis L still hasn't even told me that a date has been chosen (it's her 2nd wedding but fiance's first so I don't know how big it'll be). Dad tells me it's in September. So to appease dad, I invited dad, the girlfriend, both sisters and their families out to the cottage. I offered up 6 weekend options that work for us between June-Aug. Neither sister responded. Since neither responded, dad & I made plans by ourselves. He & girlfriend came out yesterday and had a lovely evening together. Last night, Sis A finally responded. 2 weeks after the initial invite! No "sorry I thought I responded" or "sorry I got busy and forgot". Just responded with ONE date (out of 6) that works for her. Still no responses from Sis L. I haven't decided yet how long I'm waiting till I reply back. And even though technically we ARE still free that day, I'm thinking I may say something snarky like "Sorry, busy now that day. I never heard from anyone so I made other plans".

I always respond with an answer one way or the other within a day or two at most. My family though never bothers to acknowledge emails...it's completely ridiculous to me. Last fall I gave my sister some medical info that my MD said I should pass along to her....I also cc'd my mother on it just so she'd have knowledge. Neither acknowledged it in any way, not a are you ok or even a thanks for the info. |

It must be bad if Cecilia is willing to get irritated. I don't think I've ever seen you complain about anything EVER. *virtual hugs* hope you're doing well!

My vent is for my husband's children. He's a pretty good person, you could have at least texted him to say happy father's day. ANYTHING would have made him happy. Don't think I won't remember this when you want something.

We have a rat again. Usually I only see the evidence but this time I got to see it scurry across the kitchen floor right before I went to bed. I did not sleep well and it didn't die in a trap overnight.

The director of the small private school I work for thinks that since it is summer that there is not still work that needs to be done in the office. After school let out we agreed that I would come in just enough to keep up with the work (transcripts/accounting/setting up new students in the system and making tuition arrangements/applying tuition payments/invoicing for outstanding money still due from last year/updating immunization records/cleaning out old student files and updating current and new student files/collecting payments for summer school, summer camp and summer sports training/ etc, etc etc...)There is still PLENTY of work that needs to be done in the office...even in summer!
I normally work 40 hours/week during the school year, so I cut it back to 20 hours/week and was just able to almost keep up, and then she decided to cut me back to 10 hours/week because she (quote) wants me to have a nice, relaxing summer (end quote).
Yeah...
I am going to "relax" knowing that the work I cannot complete is just going to pile up on my desk until August and it will take me forever to catch up.
I am going to "relax" knowing that she is going to "help" me by taking in the payments that come in when I am not there but not recording them so that the accounting will be a total mess.
I am going to "relax" when I do go in to work and have to answer the phone and explain to parents why they can't see the summer school grades online because I haven't had time to input all the classes on their kids school profiles yet.
She is so clueless....
After listing out all the things that I need to be doing, she began telling me "Oh, I can do that for you....and I can do this....and I will handle that...". Ummmm....She is going to just somehow know how to enter tuitions into FACTS without any training, or input classes onto schedules with no training....or enter payments into the budget spreadsheets with no training....

My vent-hotels that double their normal rate for graduation weekend. All the rooms will get booked either way but let's be greedy. And let's not take care of a maintenance issue either.

not a vent but more of an annoyance really. it's when 30+ year old married men with children are still micromanaged by their mommies. when mommy has to come to appointments with them. when mommy is the one who pays. when he can't so much as crap without mommy's say so.

My friend borrowed my crockpot for a birthday party she was hosting. When bringing it back she wouldn't hand it to my DH, but insisted on putting it on the shelf. I went to use it this weekend & it has a hole in the casing surrounding the pot & the edge of the pot is bent. Something dropped on it
It still works, but it isn't something I want to put out at a potluck. I am disappointed that she didnt own up to it.

DH interviewed for a job a couple of weeks ago and Thurs he was told he was the first they were hiring. The offer was to be ready on Friday, but the HR person let him know that it would be Monday before it was ready. First thing this morning they let him know that it would be tomorrow before the offer would ready as someone who had to approve it had taken a long weekend.
I appreciate that they are keeping us posted, but shouldn't this have all been set BEFORE they started interviewing for the job? It's a contract, not a permanent position, so you would think they would have the details ironed out already. It's really, really frustrating.

I certainly wouldn't be lending her anything any time soon- she is deceitful by not explaining to you what happened. Did she think you wouldn't notice? I would be be very disappointed in her actions. |
