I'm not disagreeing with you as far as men do suck in general, but my dh isn't THAT bad. He cooks, grocery shops, fixes stuff, does lawn work, takes care of kids, etc. Now I'm not saying he's some perfect prince, but after reading about some of the useless loser DHs on here, I guess I'm kinda lucky. He has a steady full-time job and some common sense, which seems like more than the spouses in some of these confessions do.

Preach! Don't forget that in most cases, women will need their husband's permission to get their tubes tied. And if you're under 30, forget it, because no woman can be trusted to make decisions about her own body. What her husband or some other man wants for her body is more important. My husband gets a splinter in his pinky and leaves the doctor with a body cast, presciption for pain killers, and a note giving him a week off of work. I could have my arm amputated and would be sent away with a prescription for anxiety meds because obviously I'm dramatic and it can't hurt that bad. Oh, and then I'm be expected to make dinner when I get home, clean up, and bath the kids because he tired from driving me to the hospital. .

I've gotten to the point where I just hate men. All of them. And I don't even care how bad that sounds anymore. I'm so tired of being talked down to, mansplained, told to smile, touched, being afraid to go literally anywhere by myself, harassed, told what to wear, how much make-up to wear or not wear, what to do with my body hair, talked over, ignored, carrying the entire mental load of making sure every fucking thing gets done even if I'm not the one doing it, and on and on. And before someone jumps in with the Not All Men Bullshit, really think about that. Does your partner have to ask you to do things? Do you call from the grocery store to ask where something is? Who made the grocery list? Mental load. Before you open your mouth, think, "Would I be saying this to a man?" Do some serious evaluation because I don't know a single man who hasn't replied, "Well, actually..." to something the woman speaking knows more about. Seriously, just done with it.

One of my DD's old friends mom is upset she has to move but practically wishes death on her landlord for kicking her out and calling him a greedy scumlord. Their rent has been $500 for 9 years for a 3bdrm 2ba house, his mortgage is over $700. Average rent for the area is $1200. They had an agreement for a lower rent if they fix up the place. They didn't. They've destroyed it. Her LL gave her 3 months notice to move out so he can sell the house. It's not LLs fault her H ran their credit to the ground & puts ALL their money up his nose. She's calling places crooks cuz they keep her application fee after being denied. If your credit is bad, don't apply. People keep blaming others for things that are their own fault.

Decided to try the Home Fresh deal. When it wasn’t delivered on Monday I emailed customer service. They said due to a water problem five miles away FedEx would be a day late. It was shipped on 4/3, wasn’t delivered as promised on 4/5, and on 4/7 when I emailed again, I was told they had credited my credit card. Today, 4/11, it came....eight days after being shipped. Do you have any idea how badly spoiled fish, chicken and beef smells, even when packed in styrofoam in a box?

I just found out that my cousin committed suicide two years and that his mother, who was my mother's first cousin, died a few months later. No one told me. I am so disconnected from my family at this point that I don't feel anything. I guess I feel sad that I don't feel sad if that makes sense. The only thing that is bad about not talking to my family is that when other people talk about their families I have nothing to say. So that's one cousin who killed himself, one who died in a hit and run accident (homeless), one who died in a motorcycle accident right after getting out of jail, one who was murdered after going to the reservation to get sober, and one dead of liver cancer after nearly dying of alcoholism. I'm tired.

I am just in a bad mood today. Everything is pissing me off. I have a friend that I talk to once a week. We talked at our normal time, but it was obvious they were distracted. I said we should just give it up this week, but they kept insisting they wanted to talk, but then adding nothing to the conversation with all kinds of annoying background noises. I take no joy in listening to myself talk. Just let me go! And then I found out my hiking partner for tomorrow is doing a hard workout today, even though I have told her several times how annoying it is to take her hiking when she is already worn out. And my doctor told me I'm not allowed to run or do yoga for another few days, so I can't even run out my frustrations. Grrrrrrr!

Fair question. Just trust me when I say that she is the same as her mom. She was a full-grown and married adult when she INFORMED my parents that her mother would be moving in with them. She just took it for granted that my parents would be there once again. She could have taken her mother in, but she didn't. She has the same spendthrift habits her mother had. Always overspending and then crying poor. She always came to my parents with her hand out, never offering anything in return. Any relationship with her would just be a repeat of her mother's relationship with my mom, and I'm not doing that. The fact is that even though we grew up together, I haven't seen her in 13 years and I don't miss her. When I look back, I remember how many thoughtlessly cruel things she said over the years, and how many times I let it pass. I feel bad that she became a homeless drug addict, but I don't owe her anything. She's not my family.

I don't like watching my granddaughter. I feel bad. I'm just tired all of the time and love to sleep in on the weekends. I know this sounds so selfish. I love seeing her and visiting her, but just don't like her spending the night. She's 1 and a half and a complete doll. Does anyone else feel this way?

Omg, she was hospitalized that's why she didn't write back. I feel so bad!!!
