I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
dentist won't know if I need a crown until he gets in there but he was able to avoid a crown 10 years ago for me with an inlay when I lost half my back molar
I'm hopng the Advil kicks in soon
Tooth pain is on the top of the list of excruciating.
Best wishes
Keep looking up if you can. HUGS
Your favorite music on your favorite technology with earbuds?
You truly are facing a difficult challenge.
I think you can do this.
You are one of the strongest people I’ve encountered and you should come to us to rant as often as you like
hugs to you

My whine: Several of my elderly aunts & 1 uncle are advanced age, with severe health problems. My mother is particularly close to the aunt for whom I am named - I am too but I'm apparently not allowed to be upset over what's likely her death pretty soon because my mother screams at me over everything from how little I'm allegedly doing to help (I'm cooking, running errands, feeding pets etc) to how little I'm allegedly supporting her (hours and hours on the phone every week which is really taking it out of me.) I know she's just taking stress and fear out on me which is understandable but this is hard for me too. Usually I'm pretty good at setting boundaries with her but now it seems like absolutely everything sets her off. I've started keeping my distance which sucks because she's always with my aunt, so that means I can't see her as much.
Really feels like losing both of them, on top of the other relatives who likely don't have long left. I've been meaning to try to find a counselor but I don't even really know where to start. I don't want to call one out of the phone book but I may get desperate soon.
i ( like a dumbass ) wasted time seeing a ( female kid ) therapist for 6 months after my son was killed . it took her 6 months to work up the nerve to tell me i was probably a jerk .
kinda slow -- that one .
"why would you rather spend all your free time in an apartment by yourself instead of helping us"
Geez I dont know...so I can sleep in peace. So I can do what I want during the day instead of being on my parents' schedule. So I dont have to listen to parents' nagging.
Because for the 11th time JUST BECAUSE I DONT HAVE A WIFE AND CHILDREN, IT DOESNT MEAN I DONT HAVE A LIFE.
YOU DONT HAVE TO BE MARRIED TO LEAVE YOUR PARENTS' HOUSE!
When they start complaining walk out.
Do you think ex-SIL might be wanting to "keep tabs" on BIL? I know she is still close to the family, but I immediately thought she might be trying to spy on him and his new GF. I hope that's not the case, but it does seem like the holidays bring out the crazy in family even more than usual.
and no we can’t cancel and go out of town. We are hosting (just a small family gathering) and my husband wouldn’t agree to go out of town. I already asked, back when the family started asking what the plan for thanksgiving was! I wanted to either stay home and cook or go up to Tahoe for a long weekend :(
