We live in Florida. We have (and love) visitors throughout the winter. Some help with meals and take us out to eat; some have sent flowers as a thank you….then there’s the current visitors. No help, no offers to pay for meals, and I even got a request to do laundry today. The excuse? ‘We’re on vacation, which means we just get to hang out and do nothing.’ I think I can safely say that this will be their last vacation at our house.

Did you test for covid? I just read today that the newest variant includes symptoms of joint pain, including back and shoulders.

Idk what’s wrong with me. I’ve picked up the slack and been both parents for years. I’ve always been the one that does everything. Now that’s he’s finally making an effort and actually paying attention to me, remembering what I say, being kind to the kids and me, doing household chores, etc. he just grosses me out. I can see he’s trying, but my whole self is saying no. Now I’m the problem and I don’t know how to fix it.

I’ve gained 15 pounds in 3 weeks. I didn’t change anything at all. Eating, drinking, exercise (lack there of), nothing. And everything is achy. My joints hurt so badly, especially my shoulders. I’m on the implant birth control and my H is snipped, but I’m going to get a test tomorrow. I don’t know what I’ll do if it’s positive. I’d rather die than have more kids.

Ds6 had a nightmare and woke his dad, who had a hissy fit bc ds wanted me and not him. Ds spent 30 minutes crying before going back to sleep. I got angry with H for being a dick, H stormed out of the house and declared he won’t be back today. All because ds has a (for good reason) preferred parent and H didn’t get laid yesterday. He’s so huffy when he doesn’t get precisely his way. I’m so sick of it. Happy new year to us. Yay.

I'm so sorry. I hope they weren't there long and are home now! This right here is my husband. He'll want to watch a movie, and has the volume on 70. Then he'll get a notification on his phone and check it, which then leads him to watch YouTube videos (volume on loud) for who knows how long and responding to messages. The other night, I wanted to watch a movie, so we all gathered around. Halfway through he decides to get up and make dinner (at 5:30!) which only took 20 minutes. Even though we have an open floor plan and can see the TV from the table, my concentration was completely lost due to him wanting to have conversation at the table. grrr

I swear I like my in-laws, but they have only been here since yesterday and are driving my nuts. They wanted to watch a movie. Fine, whatever. OMG, they have the volume turned up to defcon 5, and they have not stopped talking since the opening credits. They're not even talking about the movie, just having random conversations and things like, "Oh, I need to text Sally to tell her that the Jones called last night." Then they text Sally back and forth for 30 minutes, while having a conversation with each other and while the TV is playing the movie they just had to watch but are paying no attention to is so loud the house is practically shaking. And if we turn the movie off, they'll insist that they were watching that.

…then today our granddaughter FaceTimed us so we could talk to our four-year-old great grandson. Volume wouldn’t work and we had to give up after several tries. Ten minutes later his mom posted a video on Facebook of him saying ‘I can’t find my PawPaw and GiGi’.

I spent all of yesterday trying to replicate my dads gumbo without a recipe because he never gave it to anyone before he passed. I finally got what I thought was a pretty perfect version. I was pretty happy, and also sad. But H comes home and tries it and says “ it’s missing something. It’s definitely not your dad’s.” And he can’t get why that hurt so badly. I dont know how to even explain why that was so hurtful. I still think it was almost perfect.

After talking about it for several years, three years ago I convinced DH to sell our home of 20 years and move to a sunny climate 1000+ miles away. For the past 2 weeks I’ve been so depressed. I want to see my kids and grandkids whenever I want, go see my elderly dad when he’s having a bad day, and most of all, I want to have chaotic Christmases like we used to have in our old house. Putting on a fake smile is SO exhausting.
