Things I cannot say out loud....

That's so unfortunate I'm sure she'd love a week of just relaxing and spending time with her granddaughter and daughter

She would. It's a difficult situation. She met my Dad when she was very young (married him at 17), but she spent her life being bullied - both by her Mum, and at school, so now, when my Dad goes into one of his "phases" like now, she just closes down. Doesn't see any way out of it, and waits for it too pass, which it does eventually, for a while until it all kicks off again. This is the worse he's been for a while, but he seems to be getting worse as he gets older. Both me and my brother have tried to talk to him about it, but he literally just won't listen. He thinks everyone else has the problem not him. He can't see that it's not normal to be obsessing about how long people are in the shower for, and that he doesn't need to lecture grown people about condensation after their shower.

I'm so embarrassed by his behaviour towards DH - DH put the travel cot down for them while we were packing, and Dad went mental, shouting aggressively that DH doesn't know how to do it and will have "failed" at doing it. I've always told DH about Dad's "do's" but he's never seen one, so he was shocked. I just don't know what to do. I don't want to deprive my Mum of her time with Freya, but I don't want to spend the weekend there again and have this everytime

I'm going on a bit now. I'll shut up x

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Psh It's ok. We all have our moments where we need to vent/rant.

That is a little OTT and a little odd. I'm kinda shocked that a travel cot could trigger him insulting your DH like that

What a difficult situation to be in Babyboo esp for you, in the middle. I hope things manage to sort themselves out somehow, that you can enjoy your mum and lo can enjoy her gran without the stress that you've experienced over the weekend xx

I know, but that's the problem. Anything, and I mean ANYTHING, can set him off. I lived in fear of his mood swings growing up (Don't get me wrong, he was never physically violent and never has been) but he'll be as nice as pie one minute, and ranting and raving the next. He was yelling at my Mum yesterday cos he said she'd moved the "Gunk remover" (he was obsessing over this supposed oil leak my car has) - she hadn't moved it and told him exactly where he'd left it. He couldn't see it, and even when he eventually found it exactly where my Mum said it was, he still wouldn't apologise to her!

His routine was totally off whack this weekend as me, DH and Freya were there, plus my brother, his GF and her LO, but that's no excuse. I don't see why I should subject DH and Freya to his mood swings (Freya was with my brother and didn't hear yesterday's thankfully) if my Mum's not prepared to stand up to him. (I did yesterday) x

Don't apologise for ranting on here, that's what we are for. I'm so sorry, I can understand why youre annoyed at your mum too. It's so difficult.

And brokenforever oh no!! xx

DH: I know money has been stressing you out and getting this loan for my visa was a last resort, but we're getting on top of it now. Please turn back into the happy guy I married.

Mommy: I love you. You got DH the video game he wanted for his birthday which was totally unexpected. Could it be you're coming to actually like, dare I say, love DH? That would make me so happy. I'm glad you're coming to terms with me moving over here.

FIL - 1. WHY do you always call OH just as our dinner is ready? (and OH why the fuck do you always answer even though I'm dishing up, not tell him you'll call back after tea/whatever, then leave the room and go hide in the room furthest away from me to talk to him?! I can still hear you!)
2. When OH tells you I've managed to get a job and tells you the details don't be all grumpy and miserable and negative because it's 'only' two days a week and commission based, it's a JOB ffs and in this market I'm grateful for that! And duhhhhhhhh YES WE KNOW that we will need someone to look after LO, how stupid do you think I am?! FUUUUUCK!
OH - why did you agree to them coming down on our last full weekend together before I start work? That means now we have to go visit everyone back home this weekend which doesn't leave a lot of time for planning
OH, you can be a dick sometimes. Having a headache is no excuse for being a douche and a lazy twat, I had a three day long headache and you know what? I still did all the housework, looked after LO, did the food shop...

Place where I had my first interview - it's been almost three weeks and I haven't heard from you, I find that incredibly rude and you know what? It's your loss! In another store of the same kind of thing, in the first year of it being open I took HALF of the takings. I'm a good seller and you've clearly seen the fact that I'm not super flexible as I have a child over the fact that I'd stuff your tills full of cash. Your loss!!

Old work friends - I know you have every right to forget me, but please don't splash everything you're all doing together on facebook all the time, I miss you all, I miss where I lived and it HURTS that I can't go back there, that I'm being forgotten by my friends and I'm stuck here on my own

OH - I'm not sure I can ever forgive you for making me move doesn't help when you come home complaining about work and how it annoys you, I left everything for you to be unhappy and miserable? Great. That makes two of us.

 

[Ozzieshunni]

IT'S ALL CRAP! Everything is crap! Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap!

 

[Lettuce]

Emmy!

Ozzie, what's up?!

DH, let's work on those communication skills eh?

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Had a fight with DH today. Feeling pretty down in general and I just wanna see my mom and dad.

 

[Lettuce]

oh I can't imagine how crappy that feels. not long til you go, tho I'm sure that feels like forever. I hope it wasn't serious and you make up quick.

 

[Ozzieshunni]

It's a long standing fight about breastfeeding and having Alex in our room. He sleeps on the couch half the time so I don't see what he is so upset about. I just feel like we've grown apart. He says I don't let him have an opinion about Alex's upbringing. I'm just sitting here crying. I actually feel really alone right now.
