ktgrok Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Not going into details, but the Aspie is being a pain, and got into it with his step father, who was already in a bad mood. I get left at home to deal with it while husband went to work. Crap hit the fan, I already have PMS, and I need very badly to write today but it's hard to write romance in this mood. Just ordered some pizza (thin crust for me, lower cal/carbs) and am trying to find my happy space. But really, I'm still shaking from adrenaline and anger and just flat out exhaustion. Also, my son thinks that I invented grounding and that no other teen has ever had his activities restricted as a form of punishment, or general consequence for being rude/mean/insulting/disrespectful. So, yes, you can thank me for inventing such torture. When I explained that I also had been grounded as a teen he said, "well but that was a REALLY long time ago." Not helping your case kid. Quote
OhanaBee Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 "...that was a REALLY long time ago...." I think you can extend the grounding time just for that remark! :001_tt2: I'm sorry your day has started out this way. :grouphug: 5 Quote

ktgrok Posted April 3, 2016 Author Posted April 3, 2016 We've all had pizza, things are calmer, but I'm sure will get worse again when DH gets home. Right now I'm not dealing with any of it, and trying to write. I set a goal of 3K words, I'm at 721. ugh. Quote
Valley Girl Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Aw, so sorry. Those kinds of days are just awful. Can you text or email your DH to let him know the situation at home has calmed down? He's had time to cool off as well. Maybe if he knows he won't be coming home to the same situation he left, it will help HIM keep his stress down. Then he may be more likely to not stir things up with a wrong comment or something when he gets home. Hope things get better. 1 Quote
ktgrok Posted April 4, 2016 Author Posted April 4, 2016 So, we ended up being part of an impromptu block party tonight, with several of our neighbors. The littles had fun, we got to know the neighbors better, and DH had a nice time and relaxed, thankfully. He and the teen are avoiding each other, which is fine with me. 3 Quote

SparklyUnicorn Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Sorry you had a frustrating day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Quote
Anne in CA Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 I should be writing myself. Glad you had a fun night! Quote
ktgrok Posted April 4, 2016 Author Posted April 4, 2016 Did you get your word quota? Nope, I'm still short, but working on plotting some stuff out, so it will go faster tomorrow. 4 Quote
Guest Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 It sounds like the day ended better than it began, and sometimes that's the best we can hope for. I'm sending you all the writing vibes I can muster! Quote
Tsuga Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 I totally feel for you. When I explained that I also had been grounded as a teen he said, "well but that was a REALLY long time ago." Not helping your case kid. My stepson informed my daughter that homework was invented "in the 80s or 90s, like a really long time ago, for punishment". I try hard not to laugh at the kids but that put me over. :grouphug: Quote
