Family drama

Why would you get mad at me for getting angry at someone that has hurt you?  And if you feel that way why are you still in my house?  You get your dad and me to help you get a refridgerator. you put it in the house you wanted.  He moves in and you do not want to live with him so for almost 4 months you have lived here and your dad is paying the payments for the refridgerator andyour idiot husband signs up for cable.  Is there something wrong with that picture??????  Plus no one is paying the rent or the electric and where do you think your idiot husband is going to be when he gets kicked out of the house for non payment? 

So does anyone want to adopt a short old overweight mama-grandmama and get me out of this soap opera that I am living in/'

stress stress stress

it has not been a good morning and I still have to go lto the school to eat a lunch with grandbaby cause his mama and daddy can not miss a few hours of work to give to their son,  I know that sounds bad on my part but they could make those hours up their jobs is a little flexable.  Then off to the food bank and then home and homework and laundry and supper to cook.    And now my car is undrivable .

I sure hope everyones elses day is going better than mine.


God bless

  2. Oh, man! I sure hope your day turned out better than you expected.

    As far as the adult child. I understand. I have had a similar problem in the past...and not to distant past, either. Ha. In fact to a lesser extent, it's still happening.

    It's so frustrating to sacrifice your own wants, to do without, to do for...and then the one you're doing this for seems determined to shoot themselves in the foot--and blame you in the process.

    Yeah, I get it.

    I don't have answers, tho. It's hard to draw boundaries. We don't want to see our children (no matter how old they are) be hurt. We try to get between the consequences of their actions, hoping they'll make the right choices, rather than letting them learn the hard way.

    And, sometimes, they don't seem to see what we're doing, or benefit from it, at all.

    There comes a point when our "help" isn't helping. We're just enablng them to be ungrateful and selfish. And resentment builds as we pay the price for their actions.

    But, oh, how hard it is to draw that line and say, "Enough" when a grandchild is involved. Quite frankly, my husband and I allowed ourselves to be taken advantage of to the point where we were run dry financially and were exhausted physically and emotionally simply because we couldn't stand to see our grandchildren suffer.

    Like I said, I understand and I have no advice.

    I'm praying tho.
