PP WTF is wrong with you?

OP: Having your mother alive is a blessing. Cherish it!!! And then take a deep breath and ask yourself what Christmas is really about. One day your mom will be gone and your phone will be silent - will you be happy then?

"One day, in maybe 20 years or so, this person will be dead, and then you'll be sorry you didn't roll over and take the rudeness over and over and over and OVER again every single year"

+1 Take three deep breaths and be thankful for your family. Taking a second now will save you years of regret when your mom is gone. What if this is her last Christmas? You never know.

+1. So simple-minded and tiresome, but they really think they’ve contributed something of value.

My nurse BF has her schedule too.
If he hasn’t been scheduled at this point then he shouldn’t have to work.

Um, did you know that many, many other professions besides medical have fluctuating schedules? Judges, clerks, construction, lab techs, academic labs, the list goes on. You have no cause to question OP, so either contribute constructively or move on.’

OP, tell her that you will not be taking her calls if she is calling to discuss the holiday; you will share the info with her when you have it. Tell her that if she has an emergency or something else to discuss, she can text you what it is and you will call her back.

Are you the moderator or site owner? No? Then take a seat with this nonsense.
