Re: The cranky thread
I love my Mom and Dad. I really do. But their problems with my weight, my (mostly) 16 years of unemployment, every friend and SO in the past they didn't like and EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY WANT X, BUT MY MAN WANTS Z, ALL THE WAY BACK TO MY VERY FIRST SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP IN COLLEGE, are constant sources of tension for me. It is a chronic, neverending thing that has had me pulling my hair out. Tomorrow they follow the other Snowbirds to Arizona. They won't be back till May. Like I said, I love them, but Whew ! Now don't get me wrong ! They give and give, they love me dearly and I always enjoy time spent with them 95% of the time, it's just that 5% that's such a b&*ch.
End Rant.
