another fun start to the month. seems i am also an horrible parent as well as no one wanting to hire me. seems i dont visit my oldest son enough, and didnt play with him enough when he was a kid.  the time i spent taking him to beavers and cubs  then scouts counts for nothing. the time i spent fighting with schools for him.  the fact i gave him money for storage for his stuff which i will never see again. the fact i have helped him move ever single time.  the fact that as a military wife i spent most of the time alone and rasing the kids. i had no family help . no mother to call to babysit.  i am a terrible parent because his father drinks. i am a terrible parent because i watched tv. i am a terrible parent because i also suffered from a bad depression when the boys where growing up. which explains alot. but i doubt they would understand.  i am tired of it all........just so tired. ..........i try and i try and i try........and never seem to get anywhere.....

 

library had a book sale today . husband told me not to buy anymore books. i did anyway. found a few i can use in my design work.  will put them on the bookshelf. he probly wont even notice.   also told youngest he has to come do something will his room if he is not gonna move home. asked hime to come over and work on it today. says he will call later if he is gonna come over. ......at this point in the day all i want to do is crawl into bed and never get up again..........

    yes, today sounds like a bad day for you.
     
    don't you realize that kids (and he's still quite immature i would say) will always say things like that?  will look to blame someone?  who better than mom and dad ya know?  something's not going wonderfully in your son's life, or has disappointed him-  you're not a mind reader.  but you know in your heart what you've done for your kids- the sacrifices you've made-  why would you allow your son to affect that in any way?  what does he know about being a parent?  what does  he know of raising children?  of life?  keep in mind always that your children speak from the vantage of inexperience.  they think they know eveyrthing (didn't we too?) but in reality, he can only hurt you with his words if you allow his version of truth to be yours.  you know better.
     
    do you still listen to your husband?  i'll be married 24 yrs next week, and to be really honest, if he's feeling like telling me what to do (don't buy any more books)...i just tend to ignore him.  i mean who has time for that shit?  i'm a grown woman who knows what she wants and what will make me happy.  i don't need someone else to tell me what makes me happy.
     
    let that fall off your shoulders.
     
    sleep for tonite.  tomorrow will be better.
    your inability to get a job is not a reflection on you, nor does it have anything to do with your ability as mother or wife.  all unrelated.

    ty for the comment secret. yes my son is taking alot of things out on me. but i guess that is life right now. he is helping to raise a special needs child who is autisic. i dont much listen to my husband. say yes just enough to keep him happy and thats it. will be married 26 yrs on oct 9. some days it feels like 260 yrs.  i know what i want and need to do....what i want is for him to quit thinking that what i want is nothing. .......maybe some day.......

    Oh kate, sounds like you are living my life. according to my boys, nothing I do is right half the time, and the other half thinks  the only way is his way, and I dont count. what I do is clam up, or really piss them off by agreeing with everything they say, then they tell me Im stupid....If you see and want some books, for the love of god, get them, its what you enjoy, atleast they dont cost as much as the yearly hunting/fishing trips, and it isnt like you sit around a camp fire with the guys farting and swapping the big one that got away stories.
    Although they have absolutely no right to take things out on you, its always the way isnt it?

    your life lorac often sounds like a carbon copy of mine.  yes husband thinks that way too , his way or no way. i just says fine and walk away and let him do what ever.  i do still buy books , i bought one today as a matter of fact. one i can use to inspire me with some new designs.  i dont smoke i dont drink or play bingo and if one of my faults is reading so be it.......least i am informed......hoping you have a great day lorac
