wmw999 2,589 #1 January 16, 2003 As I've made it no secret, it's my birthday. Went out to dinner with my dad, thought my son was coming over for the balance of the evening after hockey practice. At least that was what he said. But hey -- his dad rented a movie, so he's over there watching it. He was pretty sure he'd make it over in time to say hi. Yes, his dad knows it's my birthday, he wished me happy birthday when I spoke with him to let them know I was leaving my dad's soon. Why don't they understand that when I say it matters to me, it's because it does. And when I went out of the way to make sure he made it home to his dad's on his birthday, it's because it matters. Anyway, now I made him feel guilty, and I'm pissed. What a win-win situation. Y'all feel free to ignore this one.

LMAO Well, you could always go to the extreme like my father did. We get along now, but back when we didn't, what he said was probably the most mentally damaging thing I have ever heard. Thank god I have the brains to overlook his shortcomings. He said, it a fit of rage: Quote The best part of you ran down my leg. It's your life, live it!

skybytch 273 #10 January 16, 2003 Your mission, should you choose to accept it. Take the phone off the hook. Grab a couple candles, a bottle of your favorite wine, a wine glass, a CD player, your favorite mellow CD and a good book. Arrange around the bathroom and bathtub. Run a nice hot bath and throw some bubbles or smelly stuff in it. Enjoy. Happy Birthday Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,589 #15 January 16, 2003 Thanks folks. I actually did the right thing; I told him it mattered to me, and left the decision to him. Lucky for him he made the right one Yes, blood is thicker than water, but dammit -- he has 50 prenatal jumps at my expense! I expect some gratitude. Anyway, I needed to vent, and I knew it would be over shortly. Really. I'm just really good at stuffing it most of the time. Thanks to everyone, and good night Wendy W.

jtval 0 #17 January 16, 2003 well if it makes you feel better, WE, your seragate family, were thinking of ya! how old is your son? if he's a teenager this is gonna happen for a while. sorry to say.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,589 #18 January 16, 2003 He's 19 (actually, about a week older than skygod7777); just got back from spending a couple of incredibly thoughtful weeks with my brother in Chicago (they think he's awesome). So the teenager years are just about over, and I thought I'd get some of that family feeling. HOWEVER: I forgot that parents are safe, and are always there like the furniture, and they always love you no matter what you do. Which is, of course, exactly how it should be. But if he does it again I'll kick his ass. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

suz 0 #21 January 16, 2003 Ouch. Sorry to hear that. I had to sit in on a seminar that went all day for my birthday, then I went to dinner with the family, only to hear ranting and raving about my mother not liking the fact that I am driving 12hours straight (every 2 hours I'll be stopping for a rest...) AARRGGHH...I dont know why I moved in with my parents again. Don't bother me, I'm living happily ever after Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,589 #22 January 16, 2003 QuoteI dont know why I moved in with my parents again. Best thing I ever did for my relationship with my parents was to move out when I was 19. Got a job, took a year off college, and put myself through the rest of the way. I became the adult in their eyes that I already thought I was. I moved back a couple of times when I was between jobs, but the first time was 5 years later. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

suz 0 #24 January 16, 2003 I moved out when I was 19. I moved back early last year after a break up. Then I was out again by August last year, but I had to move back home before my flat mate and I killed eachother....saving for a rig at home....just need to keep telling myself that. Zsa Zsa Gerbil Tush is tired and she has a bad headache and has to work at 7am, which is 5 hours away....THEN I AM ON HOLIDAYS!
