Send now we are on to cry me a river? You whine on hun I know I do. I loathe mealtimes it is a constant battle. She is perfectly capable of eating just chooses to be difficult over it every time yet if it is pudding or cake or sweets or biscuits oh a whole different story and I am not prepared to feed her just that because she will end up too heavy for me to manage or diabetic and yet another thing for me to manage
Grum grump grump grump grump

Thanks Phoenix, laughing hysterically now with tears running down my cheeks!
All those songs mentioned are soo much better than what dH is live streaming from the Coachella Music festival, as ths new dance is rocking back and forth-something persons in mental hospitals have been doing throughout history.

(No offense to others with this condition-sorry ) Empathetically incorrect, I know.
So sorry-and then to be on the other side of this.

Well I like big butts and I can not lie... (just to keep the thread going), and I wish I could get my mom to eat more... She sounds sooo like the Moms you all are talking about.

Awe Send, I'm sorry you are going through a rough patch with DH! Husband's are trying even when they still have all their marbles! Lol! My hubby has been complaining all week about his back being OUT, but continues to decline all of my helpful suggestions to help him get relief, and then goes on to weed the back garden! So now he's in even more pain! You know what? He's a freaking pain in my backside! I'm tired of hearing him whine, and then go on to do something even more stupid! He deserves to be in pain if he can't freaking learn to give it a rest and time to heal! I'm fed up with him at the moment, can you tell? Grrrrrrr!

Hey,so glad others are crying about their hubbies. I've had a rough couple of days with mine too. My stress is over the roof right now. The anniversary of my Mom's death is coming up soon too. May 9th. Oh how I miss her. All day today I've been on the verge of tears. Its okay when I am by myself. I'll just let the tears flow but Hubs has a problem with it. I guess he thinks I should be over it by now. Aww poor him. He has a problem with my sadness. I guess cause the world revolves around him.

I wish I could just move to a mountain top by myself for a couple of years. Just go into the woods and scream really loud. I

Wasn't done. I was going to say I've really been leaning on my faith these days. In the words of Carrie Underwood since we've been quoting song lyrics "Jesus take the wheel, cause I can't do this by myself"

Gershun, What can one say as I know it as been stated before that is the day after Mother's Day this year. Wholly sh!t, that sucks! I was going to give you some ideas as to what I might do in this situation but better not cuz afraid you may just attempt one or two of them and something might go wrong. I wound not want anything bad to happen to you. As for the crying and grieving I was told by a psychologist years ago not to let anyone tell me how long or short a time I should grieve for my father. That is the only advise I can pass on to you...except imagine giving a certain someone a kick in the @ss or imagine you are playing darts and his/her head is the bullseye.

Thank you everyone for your support, guess I was losing it and over so many small matters, when others are having such a time. To others who just sucked it up and refused to whine-thoughts are with you too!

Send, I have a feeling that you are putting up with even more than you are letting on. You always try to keep your chin up and cheer other people. It's totally okay to whine about things. I've learned that it is the little things they do that can drive us crazy. It can be easier to forgive the big things, but the little things are grrrr. Why did they throw their trash on the floor? Why did they stick their gum on the wall? Why can't they do right at dinner time? I think there ought to be an official Kick Care Receiver Butt day.

Jesse, Your feeling is accurate! Maybe kicking that wide receiver of life's butt might help! Can today be the day? I feel so bad he missed dinner-that was harder on me as I enjoy having meals with loved ones.
Show up for dinner! I am just sayin!
And, why did he leave potato peels in the sink overnight?
Thanks, Jessebelle! Sorry its difficult on you-the same.

The newest care plan has just been launched! Pick a day-
ITS KICK CARE RECEIVER'S Butt DAY!
They deserve it, they have been asking for it, now it's time and for this day only-no one goes to jail! lol. Wait, has anyone seen Jude since the teacup?

Sorry, it's not funny anymore, and I am sure not for many of you.
Dh missed dinner, missed breakfast cause he left at 10 a.m. for church. As the consequences for him are adding up, he may soon need an intervention.

Church starts at 10.

DH had to go to Lowes so I said I will wait in the car. Please leave the conditioner on. Opens window and says he's turned the car off. "Please turn the engine back on plus the air" It was 70 outside and bright sunshine. Turns the engine back on and prepares to leave leaving the window open.
What I wonder does it count as elder abuse when one elder leaves another to cook in the car???????????

I don't like to bash men on here or anyone for that matter but at the same time this is the whine thread and my chest has been tight all weekend cause DH can be so self-centred and grumpy as h*ll. I'm like a sponge. I've always soaked up the emotions around me. I can't be around people who swear and yell. I remember when my brother who is schzophrenic used to rage i would hide in my bedroom and just shake. I don't do well with negativity at all.

Wow, I have been gone a long time. Just spent some time reviewing what I missed out on and can totally relate! Jeanette, I am so scared that I will be going through much the same things when my mom passes. I can't see my oldest and next brothers doing anything, but I can definitely see my closest brother and his wife giving me a hard time. They never seem to have enough. They are always trying to make it out like they have money when reality is they teeter on bankruptcy because they spend so much on bull.. They drive Lexus SUVs, live in a big beautiful house when they are by themselves, and my sister in law has never had a job to help pay for much of what she wants.
I have 5 brothers including two which are steps and it is amazing to me that the steps seem more attentive to Mom sometimes because she cared for my stepdad and they know that was worth so much.
Any way, I have been busy with Mom and her I home care. The orthostatic hypotension has seemed to get worse not better, but today we are trying an experiment. When she was in the hospital, she had coffee with every meal and I never make her coffee and she doesn't ask for it. My husband will make her coffee when he makes his in the afternoon, but she doesn't ask so not being a coffee drinker I don't think about it. Anyway, today we are going to see if drinking coffee will make a difference.
As far as DH go, mine has been a major PITA. He has been injured and that makes him miserable but he makes himself more miserable by complaining and doing things that make his injury worse!
Good news for me, I lost ten pounds. I have been trying for about a month and have been just trying to eat healthier foods and snacks. It hasn't been miserable because I still eat treats if I really want to. Slow but steady wins the race.
Love you all. So sorry we all feel so pissed off!

Everyone is having so many whines the last few days so I looked up when the next full moon shows up. Guess what it is April 22.

Peacefulness and mercy to all!
Anger is what we are provoked to when we don't take charge early on.
It is so understandable, and many times justifiable.
I blame myself for not being able to find appropriate placement for dH so he can have a better supervised life.
The truth is, I am highly conflicted about separation and am emotionally attached.
We are going down the tubes together.

Oh, thank you Veronica! Thank you! I will scale down my expectations of a better life and hunker down, low profile etc. I was so distracted, I forgot to check up, and, forgot to pray too!
Thanks everyone!
Attitude is most of the battle won.
Gershun, will think of you positively next time I rant negatively! I am sensitive too!

i had a fun day . 10 hours in the forest clearing brush . had a large brush fire going and a nearby dead ash tree started lighting up from the intense heat and sparks . so i sawed it down . a couple of professional loggers who stopped by said they have never seen anybody fell a burning tree . sounds like theyve had some really dull lives to me .

Send, I hear so often that you are such a cheerleader, but don't often share what Really is going on in your life. I do appreciate how sweet and kind you are, but sweetie, maybe if you share more of your own situation, you will receive more helpful suggestions! I'm only trying to get you to open up to us, and if you have, maybe I've missed it, or maybe you prefer not to share your pain and suffering so much. Either way, I'm here for you! I know you are struggling too! Like Frasier said on his Seattle radio talk show, I'm listening!

Thanks Stacey! It is you that is the cheerleader extraordinaire, imo.
I try to let it out a little at a time, but this episode snuck up on me.
If I regularly empty my trash can (vent), then I am so much better able to cope, so you are correct, I could share a little more. I did identify with Susan when she posted she didn't want to whine because everyone else had so much going on.
Thanks again everyone for supporting me, each in your own way-that is why Dh actually got to eat, take his vitamins, and the we had coffee together. I am surprised he lived through it, but the minute I was reminded of the full moon, I took action. You all feel better too!
