So, you’re setting up to clean out the oven that you cleaned last night (self cleaning oven that DH said he’d clean when it cooled off, but he seems to have changed his mind). He watches you get a stool and a bucket full of vinegar water ready. Then he sits at the island for fifteen minutes bitching because it smells so bad. Question: Can a person be beat to death with a plastic bucket or should a metal one be used? Asking for a friend.

I hate Mother's Day. My own mother pretty much sucks, but if I don't acknowledge her, I will have to listen to her bitch about what a horrible daughter I am for months. My own family didn't do jack shit. Oh, DH asked if I wanted some eggs this morning...two hours after I already made breakfast. But he was busy lying in bed playing on his phone. Wouldn't want him to go out of his way. Kid 1, who is normally awesome, was in her room crying this afternoon and won't tell me what's wrong. I actually think it's because she feels bad about not doing anything for M-Day. Kid 2 said Happy Mother's Day to me when she woke up. That's it. That's my whole day. Oh, DH is making dinner like he's doing me a huge favor. At least we are quarantined and I don't have to actually see my mom or put pants on. Happy Mother's Day to me!

I started getting into baking and made banana bread from scratch for the 2nd time. The first time was bad, dense, pale, and gummy and not sure if it was the recipe? Today turned out really well. I'm impressed with myself and l can't believe how delicious it is and healthy (no sugar added, just honey!). I used this recipe I found online - https://kristineskitchenblog.com/healthy...

Good news is my A1C is 5.6 (it was 9.1 a year ago). Bad news is, after a 3 hour iron infusion four days ago, my hemoglobin has gone from 6.5 to 6.3 Waiting on a call from the doc that it’s transfusion time.

Things are fine, Mom was home. My sister called her earlier and she just called her back. Not sure if she's avoiding my calls. At least she's fine. We had a heated interaction last week (even though it was not my fault) and guess I still feel bad about it. Also, I'm having anxiety about returning to my old job since I really enjoyed temp work.

Ah, you didn't realize that was all the same person? Yes, multiple people have problem marriages on here, and even more than one has a husband with that same mental issue. But this OP has a certain voice/style that is specific to her. And while there may only be one person here who is 'talking shit' to an abused woman, there is more than one of us that want to support this OP in getting out of a bad situation before it becomes deadly. And some of us believe that we aren't doing her any favors by suggesting she stay in a situation that is getting progressively worse. Her DH is off his meds again, and is starting to have cycles of rage. In this case, the faster she gets out of there, the more likely she is to not end up in a hospital, or worse.

I hate my husbands deodorant. Once he uses it a couple of times it tends to get top heavy and it plops over with a little bit of wind. I leave it laying down but he insists on standing it up and I can’t move it elsewhere because he’ll just take it out & put it back where he likes it. I’ve only done that a couple times until i realized I just need to respect how he likes his things. But this deodorant fiasco is the bane of my existence for last several years. I know there are many in worse situations than this. But I’m in a bad mood today and I threw out his stupid deodorant when it fell over. I’ll leave it there until he gets home. (Don’t worry I’ll wipe it down!) That’s my petty confession.

Multiple people bitch about their marriages. I'm sure I've posted before and you thought I was the op married to the guy with the gun. It's not ALL one person with a bad marriage, but I do believe that it's ONE idiot who feels entitled to talk shit to an abused woman and then spams me too. You need a break from this site.

The OP with the dh with mental problems often is lazy and doesn't help OP around the house. But once or twice a year, she posts about him doing something abusive (like waving a gun at her, scaring the heck out of her with road rage, telling her he will divorce her if she doesn't get a better paying job, etc). Everyone tells her that is abusive, she says she is leaving once X happens. Then X happens, and she doesn't leave, usually saying everything is fine now. And then it starts all over again. I don't want to exaggerate, but I believe we are coming up on a decade worth of these posts. I really hope she gets out soon. If she doesn't leave now, when things are bad, she will likely stay for another cycle, and he is going to get another chance to really hurt her.

MIL is known for getting me and my child bad gifts on purpose (all kids get electronics and toys, my DD gets dollar store socks). She's a Narcissist, but not just because of the bad gifts. She treats DD and I different because we're not blood. For Christmas she got me a Victorias Secret gift card, this is after I had already told her they don't carry my size, I'm too big to fit their biggest size. Plus I told her I don't like anything else they gave to offer (perfumes etc.). Her bday was a few days ago. She told DH she wanted a candle. I got her a fancy looking tomato scented one (I buy everyone's gifts cuz DH doesn't like to). She sounded real disappointed when she called to thank him for it. "uhm, uh, thanks? Did you know it was tomato scented?" lol
