People don't get me :(

Tank was being moody this morning.  He was whinning and complaining.  Nothing terrible, it wasn't enjoyable by any means, but nothing timeout/spank worthy.  When I arrive at daycare he's in better spirits but I was a bit drained.

Another parent who is new to the center said I looked a bit off.  I said Tank was a bit emotionally draining this morning but it was okay because it was only temporary, I just needed a few minutes to bounce back.  The parent said, "You mean temporary until he's 18?"  I said "No, temporary until I get the sweet sweet release from when death comes to collect me." 

I was clearly joking but got a blank, OMGWTF YOU ARE A HORRIBLE PERSON STARE.  I quickly explained that I was joking and that my sense of humor was a little dark.  The parent said "yeah, I got that."

 I know need to think of new creepy thinks to say to this parent only when we are alone so people will be "WTF She's so  sweet with me, are you sure you heard her right?"  LOLDevil

  • I laughed.  Does that count?

  • I think it's funny.  Even funnier your thinking of creepy things to say to her.

  • Busy, when I have a baby you need to teach me your parenting skills.
  • I get that a lot, too.  Half of my co-workers think that I am a psycho just because they don't get my humor.

    I just a friendly gal looking for options.

  • The Mr. thought that was hilarious.

    But then again, major complaints against him tend to stem from sarcasm.

  • The sideways point I was trying to make from that comment was that as long as I'm alive my kids will have me by the heart strings, it dosen't end at 18.  The only point I got accross was that I don't dress nearly goth enough for a person who doesn't fear making fun of death.
  • I would have laughed. You should have followed it up with, "I'm kidding. Of course all children are miracle jesus babies and are nothing but love and puppies and sunshine and fresh rain and pancakes with syrup on top and I am happy all the time. Now, if you will excuse me I have an appointment with a pharmacist!"

  • This is exactly what BFF would say in your situation.  That is exactly how others react.  People don't get her.  I do.

    Messing with this other mom could be an enjoyable new hobby.  At least until death comes to collect you.
