Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
My DH is quite moody. One day he was in a particularly bad mood. So I got up and found a garbage bag. Cut out eye holes, mouth holes etc. and wrote in big black letters with a felt pen. BAD MOOD BAG. Then I went up behind him and put it over his head. He thought this was so funny that he immediately was in a better mood. He even saved the bag.
Caregivers behaving badly.
Looking for a brat buddy to wreck havoc on here tonight!
Ah, success! Did I spell that correctly? "Wreck havoc"???
I don't mind continuing to meet my friends only on private messaging.
See ya all there, if I have any left.

Its called humor people. If you can't take a joke or in this case, get a joke I think thats pretty sad. I know care giving is serious and sad and frustrating. I've been through it. I've also lost the person who was the dearest person to me in the world. Funny, I still have a sense of humor. If you can't take a moment out of your day to have fun, then I feel sorry for you. But please leave Sendme alone.
Sorry.
It was funny to me that you were a brat and still served the lemon merangue pie in pieces after it had fallen. I would have eaten it in any condition, eben as a smoothy, because I love that pie, which my Mom carefully made as we were growing-the three siblings all totalled.
She's still very agitated and was giving her personal caregiver a bad time at dinner refusing to eat because I was taking her out to dinner so I speak to her on the phone and settle her down promising To be there tonight after work and will bring a pie
despite several late nights at the office this week I rally and go buy pie - being Saturday night traffic is heavy and someone cuts me off - I slam on the brakes and my beautiful lemon meringue pie flies off the seat upside down on the floor -swell
I always Hold my breath when I arrive since I never know what the scene will be - thankfully it was not too bad - just mom and the three men she fears the most still up - someone took the remote to the tv so they can't even watch a movie
She's thrilled to see me and even more thrilled to see the pie box so I do my best to put the meringue back on top of the pie and pass it out to her and the 'boys' - after all it's not like it fell on the pavement 😝
Missed your post to Lucky a page back. When going to the motel at the beach we had to wait for clean towels. There were even instructions to keep the same sheets during a short stay due to the drought in California. Being a brat, the sheets were changed daily because my legs were being bitten. Also the floor was requested to be vacumed and sprayed, which helped. They tried, after all the beach has sand fleas, and they allowed dogs, not four stars at all.
The pee pad was clean...I just pretended it was dirty.
They changed the name of the hostpital anyway so they probably got rid of those supplies.I'm SURE we paid for them in the end somehow.
I put my hubs dirty underwear in the hamper so he will be sure to wash them.
(After I ask him to do his own laundry-if he is not on another break, that is).
My sis calls on the phone and will start a narrative about her day that can run from 30 minutes to an hour, I am only required to grunt occasionally, god forbid I should interrupt the flow with a real comment. Back when I was at mom's her main phone had a cord and it was torture!! I'm so grateful for my cordless speakerphone, last week I went to the bathroom and had a shower while she blathered on... is that bratty??
I'm going to put Hubby's dirty underwear on top of his pillow.
