A few of us decided that we were sick of all the happy cheer everyone up, sunshine put a smile on yo` face stuff. So I thought we should have a thread of complaining. So go ahead a vent your gripes and complain away. The only rule is......it can't be anything about My Way Out cuz that isnt what this is about. But you can b***h about your hubby, (I cant wait) or wife (even tho we are close to perfect). It can be your job, bosses, landlords, drivers, (ok....it can be women drivers guys). It can be the weather, our health, our sobrity, (not mwo tho), our healthcare providers, our neighbors, (not in absville or modsville). Uhmm....running out of ideas. Oh dear how could I forget, MEN, (sorry guys that are here that we love, it isnt you). Ok....even it up, WOMEN, and kids. (poor babies) Cats that pee on our rugs, dogs that bark in the night, birds that chirp to much....etc. To help ya see where I am comin from refer to abs and mods dated Aug 15th.

Okay, thank you Gabby for the opportunity,

I'll go first........

Hubby is out of town so I took off work last night to stay home with the kids. I only work part time and it is nearly my only time "away" from everyone.

It's summertime and being at home all day with the kids and the neighbors kids is really driving me insane:nutso: . The are all running through the house at the moment screaming at the top of their lungs because the cat brought a locust in the house. I have a headache and this will be the longest day of my life:durn:

School starts tomorrow :happy: :yay:

Why thank you Gabby,

Ok,
My daughter has autism so I am pissed off enough, her speech therapist quit and is moving to Texas so now I don't have one (I really loved her so we cried yesterday). Not worth getting a new one because she starts a special school in a few weeks which is making me ready to vomit- she won't even be three and I just ordered her a backpack and a lunchbox online yesterday. She has to take a bus and will be too far away for my liking and it is starting to hit me now.

I don't have a babysitter yet for when she gets off the bus. That is also really stressing me out. I am also upset because i want to take more topa but when I try to my eyes burn so I can't. I want to do a period of abstinence and am lucky enough to get Campral, some people can't even get it, and I am not strong enough to pick a date. My husband is driving me crazy, he is a big baby with my daughter and she thinks of him as a big plaything and somehow he wants me to fix that now. I was on the phone last night after he got home from work. She was jumping all over him and pulling his hair and he asked me to get off the phone and help him. What the hell was I supposed to do? He was the one that created that dynamic a year ago before she got diagnosed?! Figure it out dude I've been taking care of her all day and took a leave of absence from my job so she could have therapy! She doesn't pull my damn hair! As you can tell I am more than I little stressed and as school approaches it is getting worse. It just hit me the other day. I know it will be great for her realistically but I still feel ill. I just want her to be "normal" and go to the regular preschool like she was supposed to. Sorry this was a biggee. Camper

Ok.I'm back................

Compared to some of the things you guys have to put up with,...............my gripes sound petty.

Life on the farm is not all sunshine....There is the heat, bugs, snakes.......
The "neighbors" are "different",in a southern Alabama kind of way.

I don't have a social life here...... tried the ladies church group, but you can tell by what I think is funny, that I don't exactly fit in!

How am I doing??

Oh, and the sand and grit and dirt that come in on everybodie's boots and shoes.

The only mom & Pop small grocery store is five miles away and they only sell beer and have gambling machines.
I have to drive 20 miles to a real grocery store and then choose between Walmart and Winn Dixie and......they are repaving the road I live off of and had to sit in traffic going AND coming back!!!!!!!!!

OK.....I feel better.
:thanks:
Nancy PS....I lost my dad when I was 22 and my mom in 1996........it is a hard thing , Gabby...I want to hug you, but wouldn't dare!!

And the husband who always wants me to be the "bad guy" with the kids.......have one of those and he is still doing it with grown kids and grandkids! Grrrrrrrr

Ewwww! A locust RYL? Yuck. And Camper....I can't even imagine.
My deal is that I am just plain bummed. I have spent a wonderful week with my dad but sad that I have to leave. I dont want to go back home yet. The week has gone to fast. I miss him and I havent even left yet. The whole thought of it just makes me think of mom. She died 18 years ago and it seems like yesterday. Life goes by just way to fast and there is just nothin ya can do about it but suck it up and deal. I tell myself that the week was great so why do I have to let me go and get sad about it all. Of course I dont share any of this with dad much cuz I dont want to bum him out or make him think I am stupid so Im at the point where Im just stuffin it back down. It will come out when we say goodbye. Ah geeze I gotta find the damm kleenex gotta go. gabby

I have more,

My dad split while my mom was dying of a brain tumour when I was 23, I took care of her for a year, then she died. I started speaking to him again 3 years later (she died in 1992). He is a "recovering alcoholic" who left my mom for a woman he had met in AA. They got married in 1995 and I have grown to really love this woman.

Now my father has taken to drinking again, except he is drinking an over the counter cold medication that has alcohol in it (10%). I wrote him a letter telling him that I didn't want him around my daughter if he was doing that, which he coincidentally received the exact same day my daughter was diagnosed with autism. He is denying taking any such medication but I know he is because I am a super sleuth snoop and was very suspicious. Despite her diagnosis he is continuing to lie and neither one of them has seen her in 3 months, and they dropped off all of her belongings on my porch because of my letter.

You cannot make this stuff up. I know we aren't supposed to mention the program but luckily I got here before all this crap started. Camper

Oh this SO fits my mood for today!

Let me just say it is no fricin' wonder I love my Chard. I love my son but he has been a "high need kid" since the day he was born, and now, eleven years later....he is still a "high need kid." It is no frickin' wonder I love my Chard. And my man lives 1800 miles away to boot. So BLAHHHHH! :upset:

Gabby said not to in her original post but I think she meant not to complain about the program.

Ok, my rant and rave is about being held ultimately responsible @ work for other people's actions, or lack of actions. I am not their manager! I cannot influence their behavior unless I succumb to pizza bribes which I refuse to do. So why I am left holding the bag for their actions????????? UGH!!!!

[sujul]

MWO Members Rant!

Yeah, pissed off with the world!

Thanks, Gabby! Great idea...
My po'd list today includes:
Living in New York, which I have had a love-hate relationship with for the past 30 years but it's now much more of a hate-hate thing because we seem to have armed guards everywhere, army helicopters overhead ( live at the tip of Manhattan)...not to mention my local subway train which stops running mysteriously at times when I want to go somewhere; having to "move the car" for alternate side of the street parking every day, so that they can clean the filthy streets where everyone just throws things on the ground instead of putting them in a garbage can; dog sh*t everywhere because people don't clean it up, screaming kids outside all the time; thugs roaming around in SUV's with their incredibly high decibel sound systems cranked up; people hanging out on the sidewalk outside my windows and babbling away at the top of their lungs; noise, noise, noise, and crowds, crowds, crowds; friggin tourists that think the city is some sort of goddamn theme park and gawk at you when you're just going about your business as though you're some sort of prop in "New Yorkland"; noisy neighbors; outrageous rents; gigantic 4ft deep potholes in the street--maybe I'd better stop, I can actually feel my blood pressure zooming upwards....

And I haven't even BEGUN to rant about: the media, the war, the political situation, the economy, the environment, health care, education and every other aspect of life here in the US today--can you say, terror, terror, terror????!!! Oh right, this site isn't for politics...but I can't help myself right now--I am filled with rage and frustration at the sheer WASTE of it all....
Aren't you glad you asked!??!!

One More Work Related

So, I had an expert engineer assigned to me @ work who was AWESOME!!!! He is now no longer assigned to me and his replacement, who is supposed to be an expert engineer and pick up where my knowledge base leaves off, is AN IDIOT and DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO ASK FOR HELP when he is in over his head. He has absolutely no tech background and I am sure was hired to fill an ethnic quota, and this leaves me raging daily. And he is fat, and nothing against fat people, but sales is all about perception and this fat, ethnic, idiot is not building credibility with my client base. And this affects my income. Please don't jump all over me for this one. This is really about him being an idiot and nothing more.

Thanks!
