[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, we have been having a stressful time at home lately. I have been stretched very thin trying to make sure that both kids are ok....and by okay, I mean not suicidal, being able to go outside, get to therapists, take meds/supplements/etc...to help with anxiety and depression, get to activities, see friends. Have had some hiccups.

Family not always big into "doing it up" for holidays...mothers day included. We are at a gift shop with thing two today and it is all about him. Cannot bother looking at what I like. Mind you this is after his father took him to the movies and we just went to a store he enjoyed....

I lost it.

Probably too much.

Now said kid is upstairs...Leave me alone. I am terrible person. I never think of others. Sobbing.

And I feel awful.

I cannot f*&^ing win.[/quote]

I'm so sorry, OP. Maybe he needed to hear it. My kids aren't this bad, but I go off on them every now and then for taking me for granted. I think it's fair. We shouldn't have to suffer in silence. Mine kept asking what I wanted, and I always say to clean up after yourself! All I want is a clean house, good company and some tasty food.  #2 is very crafty and made me jewelry while trashing the basement. #1 is embarrassed that she doesn't plan ahead and holed herself away in the basement also making a mess and leaving me on my own. Their room had clothes dumped everywhere. Their stuff was all over the living and dining room and kitchen counter. They ask what I want to eat and then forget to get or do it. I'm grateful for the good intentions, but follow through is good to, and it's just not enough to want to do nice things and then not bother or do it out of competitive sister guilt.

All this to say, if I'm annoyed w/ mine for not following through on good intentions, then you can certainly go off on your for being a self centered jerk. (And, he was)!

Hang in there, OP. Have a glass of wine and celebrate the immense effort you sink into your kids. I'm with you.[/quote]
