Open letter Thursday

erollis · April 2014

We need to wake up! Our board is sleeping.

Dear manager,
I can't understand why my availability can't be honored still. Everyone else I talk to their availability is honored.
-Disgruntled and frustrated

Dear H,
Thank you for taking everything IF related in stride. And thank you for talking to my mom for me.
-Appreciative wife

Dear weekend,
I can't wait for you to arrive.
-Impatient worker

Dear coworker:

Why are you telling me that we need new copy, but telling another coworker that the current copy is fine? Is it okay or not?!

- Annoyed

LCostel · April 2014

Dear BIL,

Please stop shutting out your brother. I know your wife is sad that you're leaving on deployment soon and frustrated that she's still not pregnant herself, but DH is a wonderful man who is so excited about his own little girl on the way. He wants to share that excitement with you, and it's breaking my heart to see how sad he gets everytime you tell him that you just can't talk and maybe next week will be better. At least pretend to be happy for us - it's your first niece!

Love,

Your frustrated SIL

Dear DH,

You're seriously adorable. Keep up the good work.

Love,

Your crazy wife

Dear Friday,

It's about f*$%^3ng time.

@LCostel that's depressing. Hopefully it gets better. I know it doesn't help the family situation but I'm happy for you.

Thanks!!! There's been all kinds of family drama going on that I was just ignoring because there were plenty of people who are happy for us, but it just hit me this week that DH can't just ignore it because it's his brother. They used to be so close until we got pregnant. It's just really sad.

I can really see both sides. Everyone is hurt for one reason or another. As much as your H wants to still just get together and talk with his brother he may just need to give space for now. Hopefully his brother and sil will come around sooner rather then later. IF is not easy.

Yeah, I definitely understand that. The main problem that it's hard to be too sympathetic is that they've only been trying a few months, and SIL is wayyyyy underweight. Three different doctors told her she needs to stop running so much and gain a little bit of weight if she wants to get pregnant, but she refuses to acknowledge that and says it should be fine. A fourth doctor told her that eating Paleo will help (hmmm), so that's what they're doing now. It's honestly just a really tough situation all around... and he deploys next month, so it's kinda their last chance for a while. I'm really hoping that it works for them! But I know DH is sad that his brother is deploying - especially with the current state of their relationship.

erollis · April 2014

Only a few months and she has health problems? Yea... It's hard to be sympathetic or understanding if she isn't being smart about her health. Sounds like she needs mental help because of that. Or a good slap to the side of the head.

I feel so bad for your DH. It's not easy having family/ friends in the Military. Maybe his brother will come to his senses while deployed or just before he goes.
