I have so much going on here that I am about to check myself into the looney bin.. Lol! My husband health isn't great and for 7 years It has been touch and go with him.. My health isn't great either. I have had so many surgeries the last 4 years that I can't do much anymore. I have to take pain meds and pain patch is my daily meds now. My furbabies is all I have to love me and I know they love me and it helps me to release my pain an sadness when I have something that bothers me. They are there loving me.. all on me an never leaving me. I PROTECT MY BABIES! that is one reason I am having problems with my Step daughter now. I told her she has to respect my home an My furbabies.. This is their home too an she should teach her children to respect both.. My husband backs me up on everything I say and do. They do not come over that much but when they do its hell.. Well this is the last time we will have Thanksgiving dinner here.. The Last! He understands. we just told the kids no more.. We both just can't do the dinners anymore.. The stepdaughter called My husband this morning.. she felt bad she left..and apologized .. to him.. Not me.. Anymore if we want to see the grandchildren we will go to their home. I hate going there but guess it will have to be. I leave there with a headache from the noise and most of the time bruises an nervous.. lol.. Everyone meets there sometimes for birthday partys and there are lots of grandchildren there. Its a regular circus..OH well.. guess It means Old Age isn't golden anymore.. Its rusty an cranky.. lol... again.. thanks so much my YT family! |
Brenda,
While reading this, I could feel your anguish and frustration. I think there is nothing quite as maddening and overwhelming as a family member(s) that continues to cause chaos at family functions and/or visits. My heart goes out to you!
From what you have written, the children are like a bunch of wild baboons on the loose. Who I point my finger at here is the Step Daughter, their Mother. She absolutely shows no respect for you or your husband allowing her children to behave this way in your home and to your precious fur babies! Shame on her, she is the one that needs to stand in the corner!!! One day she will rue the way she is allowing her children to behave when they turn and "bites the hand that feeds them".
I can't phantom her treating you and your husband like this in the first place and then reading of the health issues you both have endured that she must have been aware of......well, I am flabbergasted to say the least.
I am glad you stood up for yourself, your husband, your fur babies and your home......I know it is not easy. I will keep you, your husband, fur babies and family in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Joyce
