FF!!!
Since Lori inquired about my lack of flaming here's this weeks FF!!!
I know there are at least some of you out there that were waiting all week for this, so let's have at it!
Re: FF!!!
M - What you are doing today is totally defeating the purpose of what I said this morning and what I've been telling you rmother for a while. STOP FLUCKIN' BUYING YOUR SISTER AND HER FI THEIR CHILDS FOOD! It's their kid, they need to learn to go to the store themselves and buy it on their own, I don't give a shiit that you are "bringing S to the store with you to get baby food" and that you "left a message on J's phone asking for the money back later" FLUCK THAT, in the beginning the money is still coming out of OUR pocket! While I love my niece to pieces, she has parents who need to do this stuff for her, not everyone else. The child will not starve to death! Not to mention she is 13 months old, she does not need to still be eating Stage 2 baby food! She eats "regular people food" when she's at our house just fine! If they want to waste their money on that stuff LET THEM! You mother needs to farkin get with it and learn to be a grandmother, not a mother! I still love you though.
MIL - Please refer to above post to your son! STOP doing just about everything for your daughter for her kid, that is HER kid, not yours. I am sick and tired of hearing "But I feel bad for her, she is the one suffering" NO she's NOT "suffering", you don't give them the chance to do anything. If J needs a bath, you TELL them "J needs a bath" and if they don't jump up that very second and do it, YOU do it, WTF is wrong with that picture? You need to stop telling them what to do with their kid, that's THEIR child, not yours. Let them take care of her, as long as she's not being abused mentally or physically, or neglected then all is fine! (which she is none of that) Also, stop insisting she still needs baby food! It's pointless to feed her "big people food" then some baby food, she doesn't need it! IF need be get her the toddler foods, jeepers crow!
SIL and you lazy ass FI - I am SO sick and tired of biitching about this but you seriously need to get off your farking asses and do what needs to be done to take care of your child, you complain that your mother does "everything", well don't give her the opportunity to do any of it, if you see J is running out of food, go get it right away, don't wait until she's out completely, it's really pathetic when someone asks you how much baby food you have left and your response is "I don't know, ask mom" IT'S YOUR KID!!!! BTW, those size 4 diapers ARE TOO SMALL ON HER! Stop squeezing the poor thing in them, it's pinching her poor little chunky legs! I bought size 5's for MY house, she fits in them great, yea sure, they are a LITTLE small but she'll grow into them in no time!
Oh, one more and not a FF post:
M - thank you for letting me get everything off my chest last night and have a complete meltdown at 11 o'clock at night, I knew there was a good reason I married you!
Ok...
BM-you are neglecting your other two kids... don't you see they've noticed?! I'm amazed I picked it up and am rarely around you!
also... can I PLEASE nominate you for TLC's What Not To Wear?!? Please!!!
and stop making DH and I feel like you're trying to push us out of their lives! I hate it-it makes DH sleep like crap and it's not very nice...oh, and thanks, btw, for completely ignoring me in front of your kids last night...
Glad they don't do the same and at least say hello!
witch.
Dear Face - WTF?? Please stop breaking out. I can't take it.
Dear B!tchy Co-Worker - Please just do us all a favor and retire. You are OLD and cranky. I'm over you!
Dear Snow - Thanks a lot. I mean you choose this weekend to snow and snow a lot. I'm supposed to have my whole family over for xmas early and now everyone cancelled. Of course I find out it's a 100% chance of snow after I went to the grocery store and spent lots of $$$. I'm so pi$$ed!!!
Mother: please behave yourself on your visit this weekend. I have given you all the notice you need that DH has to work tomorrow, that I am stressed (and you of all people should understand that). And I'm sorry, but our garage is not heated. Your little dogs will have to deal with the heat lamp that's good enough for the kittens. No, I will not move the kittens so your dogs can have their own space.
Stepdaughter 1 - I am really, really, sick of your Facebook updates about how you are so in love and can't wait to be with him again. You are dating the 14 year old friend of your younger brother, and it's just not right.
Daughters: Just do what you are told and stop talking back.
H: I understand we are swamped with business right now and are hella busy, but you don't need ot stay up till 4:00 in the morning every night to finish it, leaving me to go to bed alone. Why not go to bed early (which I would love since I'm sick) and wake up really early to start working on it?
Also, I don't appreciate your b!tching about me being sick and staying up late. Of course I am, I am helping with our orders that need to be done! I am not going to go to sleep at 8:00 and leave you to do it all on your own or with BP if he's free. We've barely made schedule as it is. I am getting better and the few hours I stayed up helping didn't make a difference so STFU.
Weather: I know you called for snow, and that's great, but raining like crazy right now is not cool! You better stay above 32F so the ground doesnt freeze! I'd like to actually go out with my rents and not be stuck in the house all day. Also, you best make it possible for them to go back home on Monday morning!
DH - PLEASE LISTEN TO ME. I have outlined many a time how we could take a cut in our income and have me go to a part time job. We really wouldn't have to sacrifice much of our lifestyle - we just wouldn't be putting much into savings for a bit. Which is fine with both of us - or it used to be. You used to get pissy with me for putting money into savings anyways. I am not being lazy by not wanting to go back to work full time! My job is about 100x easier than staying at home with Hunter. JUST STOP DISMISSING ME every time I bring it up. And if I do end up back at my job, I am going to be a spend-a-holic just to spite you. Seriously.
MIL - Stop calling my kid "your baby." Your baby is my DH. Stop being such a drama queen.
Other people in general: Umm here's the deal yo. I don't CARE if my kid sleeps through the night. He'll get there when he's ready to. I'm not going to feed him rice cereal to try to get him so full that he doesn't wake up. He doesn't NEED it. If his relux was bad enough that he needed rice cereal, I'd be down. But it's not. So I'm not going to give it to him just because the world seems obsessed with my kid sleeping through the night. Just to spite you, I'm going to start calling the people who make STTN comments to me WHEN HE GETS UP.
(And for the record, he's been making it from 9pm to at least 2:30 for the last week and a half).
Cold virus: Stop attacking me, my kid, my husband...whats next?
Doggies: Seriously, you were just sick from eating a diaper YESTERDAY. Why the hell are you on your hind legs attempting to get a diaper off the changing table? BAD IDEA. Seriously, you don't remember the stomach ache from hell and the poop that almost killed you? (It didn't really, just looked painful for him).
Dear BIl and his annoying girlfriend - I'm really over your christmas presents. you buy her a wii when she doesn't have an effin job and you are paying her bills and you've bounced checks to your own brother but then you're going to make everyone's christmas present like you did last year. Let's get this straight you two can't bake - I ended up throwing everything out last year and your plans this year are to make everyone cordials.
Really don't you think that's strange when your entire family doesn't like cordials? I would rather you didn't waste your time or money on giving me any of that because it's going straight in the garbage.
Oh, that's annoying. He's only 2 months old! He doesn't have to STTN! and he cant' have solids yet! (right?) Just nod and change the subject.
And your MIL: annoying!!!!
