Oh dear, I must be pissef off as I never, ever swear! But its 4am, I've been up 2 hours with upset baby and now wound up. I seem to have become the sponge for everyone else's crap. I just want to tell them all how it actualy is. Daily I hear dpil moan about how bad their lot is with regards to their business, I want to tell them to stop feeling sorry for themselves, they made some pretty horrendous decisions, left the business nearly banktupt and its only dh who has worked full time on it for the last year for no wages that has pulled it back. Instead I nod sympathetically, deal with all the financial, admin and legal bits in my 'spare' time and don't get a word of thanks. Dsis moans constantly about how tired she is all the time, I want to say well stop drinking every night and pissing off to the pub and it may not be so hard to get up at 7am with your 2 gorgeous children, but instead I gently suggest changes to and listen to her daily winges after being up for most the night with dc2 who has some tummy issues so rarely sleeps for more than few hours at a time. My other dsis is a complete oh woo is me person, christmas apparently was ruined cause her dh overcooked the dinner and they lost power for 24 hours the day before, not ideal I know, but a lot of people were in a damn sight worse position and still are. She slso constantly moans about no money, but can afford luxury clothes and 2 holidays a year. I want to shout that dh hasn't taken a wage for a year, we live off me squeezing a 4 day job into my evenings after looking after 2 young dcs all day, I'm knackered! Even then we only survive by being bloody careful!
Rereading all this maybe I'm the one who needs to get a grip and stop being a martyr door mat for everyone else!
