There seem to be a lot of these lately. Sometimes I find it hard to believe they are actually real. Some poor sod being walked on, disrespected and disregarded by her nearest and dearest (so to speak), treated like a complete doormat/mug, sometimes so extremely it is difficult to fathom anyone would; a) put up with the situation for more than 5 minutes and b) even have to question whether they were being unreasonable/selfish or whatever.
In recent days there has been a woman with 2 (almost 3) children whose bonkers CF neighbour is annoyed the OP won't ferry her kid to (or from?) school and look after him/her for the afternoon. A woman who is looking after a total of 9 people in the household, many of whom are adults, many are her step-offspring and hardly any of whom work / contribute to the household either financially or by doing household chores so she is working then coming home to cook/clean after people she is not even related to Finally a woman whose husband plays games while she does everything else and who has suggested he may start parenting once the child is old enough to ask him for something and wonders is she expecting "too much".
I don't mean to be unsympathetic (really), these situations happen I suppose however to even question if they are being "selfish" to in any way object to being treated like something that fell off someone's shoe is bizarre. What lies in their past that makes them think they come bottom of everyone's list of priorities but most importantly their own.
I admit to feeling impatient and intolerant at times and just want to shake them and sake "for fuck's sake, wake up and start treating yourself better"!
