Mama Bear Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 GAH!!! My kids are "processing" following their visit with their dad and his "friend." I'm learning about all KINDS of things that they do, that they say, things he's taken it upon himself to do since he left that were long term goals of mine that I never did because of $, yadda yadda. Okay, rant over. I though it would be better to send out a virtual shriek than to watch my head roll across the kitchen floor when it popped off out of sheer frustration. Pat me on the head and put me back in my little padded box. Thanks for listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenschooler Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 You shriek away. If anyone's head is gonna roll, it won't be *yours*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 GAH!!! Okay, rant over. I though it would be better to send out a virtual shriek than to watch my head roll across the kitchen floor when it popped off out of sheer frustration. Pat me on the head and put me back in my little padded box. Thanks for listening. I've been amazed at all the things you had to handle and cope with. This must be so hard to hear! Shriek away and know that you can always shriek here and rant and vent and be loved. Here is a virtual hug after your virtual shriek!

Audrey Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Gosh knows my head would be popping off, too. Take a deep breath... let it out. Hug yourself often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMCassandra Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 (((MB))) Shriek away, sister. You're safe with us. I'm sorry you scrimped all of those years only to see him do those things with someone else and make you look like the cheapskate to your children. But God knows the truth, and so do we.

kalanamak Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 "but how will your son learn to deal with difficult people?" Reply: Obviously, you don't know my husband very well.

Doran Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Pat me on the head and put me back in my little padded box. Thanks for listening. Oooh! That stinks!! You know, you're welcome to come over and use MY padded box anytime you please. It'll be a tight fit with both of us in there together, but I have the feeling we'd get quite a chuckle out of it. I'm sending a bluebird of happiness to you, but it has a little fecal deposit to make on its way. I think I know just the spot!

FloridaMomTo5 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Oh goodness, I understand this one. My parents divorced after 29 years of marriage. My mother's ring barely had chips of diamonds in it so when my father re-married quickly it was difficult to see the HUGE rock on her finger!!! It's also so hard for me to hear them talking about trips that my mom would have LOVED to go on! It stinks! There's no question about it! Don't let it get to you though! Get out there find a way to make all those things happen for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammyla Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 (((MamaBear))) I'm hoping his head is about to pop off today too missing your beautiful kids. And for the record...he is still a %#@% in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readwithem Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Oh MB I'm so sorry. Hugs to you. Yep I think I would hit something - what a Bozo. I'll keep you in my prayers today, that grace and strength may abound in your life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shell in SC Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I was really hoping all that was over for you and your dc. Wishful thinking I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetpeach Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Doran, could I fit in there as well. Two's company, three's a crowd, I know . . . but we're women. We could make it work. Me, you and MamaBear. While we're all in that room, I think we should do continuous play of Ozzy Osburne's hit: "I'm going off the rails on the Crazy Train." That's been our theme song here for a few days -- must be the Canadian cold that warping my brain. MamaBear -- hang in. Love, Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeOnTheRanch Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Mama Bear, I have no words, but if you ever feel like shrieking to a real person, you have my number(s).

Unicorn. Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Humphh! Whine away dear! Don't get angry- we'll do that for you. As for your head popping off and rolling across the floor, well, it might entertain the littles for a minute or two, but then they would take it outside and play soccer with it and you'd never get it back. So I guess it is good that you didn't let that happen. (((((MB))))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dominion Heather Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I have a great idea! We need to form some sort of mutual revenge society. WTMafia. I'm sure there are lots of homeschoolers that would enjoy making "some people" have a "come to Jesus" moment! We wouldn't do anything too heinous, just minor annoyances to make life a bit more difficult for people who refuse to do the right thing. Just kidding of course.

Brigitte Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I know what it is like (at least watching it from the kids perspective) and it just isn't right. Lots of hugs to you and the kiddos. Maybe Parisarah will share her coffee with you?!;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PariSarah Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 WTMafia. I'm sure there are lots of homeschoolers that would enjoy making "some people" have a "come to Jesus" moment! Yup. I'm there. Sister Hand Grenade of Completely Uncoerced Repentance is my name. I love Come-to-Jesus Time. "You, sir, are going to have an appointment today. It can be with Jesus and your checkbook, or with me and a urologist named Lorena. You pick. Oh, and tell me: how do you like 'Pee-wee Hightones' as a nick-name?" I'm sorry ((MB)).

JudoMom Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 That completely stinks :mad:. I'm all for joining the WTMafia. I'm sorry, MamaBear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I can't imagine how you must feel. But my sister knows exactly where you are, except that it looks like her ex has a different type of "friend". %*$@ on the both of them. And double $%# for what they do to their children.

Denise in IN Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 (((MB))) - I'm so sorry that you're having to deal with this. I'm all for sticking the WTMafia (with PariSarah at the lead) on him. Continuing to pray for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
