DH received the dreaded football email from BM tonight. Exactly what I said a few blog posts ago would happen, happened. In her email, BM outlined that she has spoken with the coach and other parents with kids who have played junior high football and there will likely be optional Sunday practices. She highlighted that while they are optional, they will likely impact SS' position and team (A team versus B team) based on his "commitment" to football during those optional practices.
I feel so sorry for DH.
Recap: SD is not speaking with DH, for reasons unknown other than something to do with Auntie's passing two years ago. SS does speak with DH, but on his terms. Hasn't come to visit us in 10 years. All travel is on us. DH has developed serious health issues, and neither skid acknowledges that.
DH is having surgery next week. It's a common surgery but with his fragile health it is a little scary. DH texted both kids. Neither have responded or called after several days.
If anyone has experienced this let me know I am not alone.
I have a SD9 and SS11 and they lie. CONSTANTLY. So the trust for me is gone. The respect I have for them is gone. Has anyone ever trusted skids again? How did you get the trust back??
I posted a few weeks ago about my toxic job. As background, I loved my job until last Fall. I thought I was going to stay there for years. I had a great relationship with my manager, had a great relationship with my team, and felt content in the day-to-day. Well, I was "promoted" last September. I use air quotes because it was only a $1,500 raise, but double the workload was added to my plate. I didn't want this promotion, but couldn't I turn it down without losing my job. It was a "company restructuring effort."
Totally off topic, but...
My 93yo Dad has been admitted to the hospital for his heart. If you could spare a prayer or some positive energy, it would be greatly appreciated. It's a 24+ hour drive for me to to him and it might not even be necessary (could be medication). This Daddy's Girl is trying to stay calm.
Is it appropriate to exchange texts with a former co-worker (opposite sex) that you haven't worked with for 15 yrs? And said former co-worker has a proven reputation of hopping into bed with all of her co-workers, living with them for about 2-12 months then kicking them out?
It's been a long time since I posted here but thought I would ask if I was correct or not. Two weeks ago SD called her dad at 8:15 p.m. asking if he was in bed yet. He answered yes and asked why. SD said she was in our town and was on her way over. He got off the phone with her and I asked if she was coming over and he said yes. SD got there at 8:30 p.m. and I got pissed saying SD was rude and inconsiderate to just show up. SD has done this multiple times. SO got mad at me and I said this is my house and I have every right to say what I want.
Dinner at our house is forced and I hate it.
I do homemade meals maybe 4 nights a week. The other days are leftovers or pizza. Usually around 6:00pm. DH was running a little behind from work, but I still made tacos. Myself and DS3 sat down with our food and I also told SD13 dinner was ready. I usually DON'T yell upstairs because 1. pet peeve of mine for yelling in the house and 2. SD13 can have the decency to come out of her room if she's hungry.
BM is now hiding/evading law over her active warrants one of my SD's had an emergency last week and is still having a hard time as soon as I found out what was going on with her the BM is the first person I had to fight to get ahold of and out of kindness/concern let them know what was going on with their child. Husband told her until she got the warrants taken care of he was not sending the kids, he spoke with attorney who consulted the judge in the case they encouraged DH to bring it back to court for sole custody.
Friday I got a notice that a movie had been rented on my Amazon Prime account. I texted my DD30 first since we live together. She didn't do it. I asked my sons but I kinda already knew they didn't have access to my Prime Video account. Wasn't them.
While there is a slight chance I used my Amazon Prime somewhere at an airbnb, I am fairly certain it was my XBF because I know for sure I logged into it on his TV.
