I constantly complain bout never being able to eat or hav time to eat but I’m secretly loving the weightloss!
sometimes i wish my husband worked more so i wouldnt feel like i have to children to take care of
sometimes i pretend i don’t feel well so my husband will take more responsibilities with our baby
I feel guilty for working and wish I spent more time with my son.
My MIL is so immature, she is missing out on her grandkids to spite me. My hub says he’s “heartbroken” but he set this up and now he reaps what he has sown.
I told my husband I wish his mother, ex, and kids would disappear. It’s true. But if HE was gone, lazy ex and brats would each get a cool mil. and I’d get nothing.
I sign my MIL’s signature to things I hate. She is a stuckup hog.
In a dream my husband’s ex was being chased. I was disappointed when she wasn’t tackled because I was SO looking forward to beating her. Am I evil? Ok, I’d just shoot her outright.
My boys are the only males I know who aren’t pigs. No, wait a minute – my therapist is a dreamy love. But all other guys suck bigtime.
I have never lied to my stepdaughter. If she asks if I like her granny, I will say NO. If she asks if I hate her, I will say YES. If she asks if I think she is disgusting and hollow and bitter and a horrible person, I will say ABSOLUTELY, DON’T YOU?
I’m going to kill my monster-in-law’s favorite plant on purpose, because she killed my spirit.
I left one narcissistic loser who verbally abused me, and married another who cannot share anything. What is wrong with me?
What is THIS about? My new husband got so comfy supporting his brats and crazy ex, he never wanted to combine finances with me. Now I have nothing and he resents “helping me”. Isn’t that messed up??!!!
It feels like such a stereotype, but I love my shrink. I mean realllly – he is beautiful and sweet, and smart, and modest, and and and yummm
I cannot wait to get on ebay and sell every darn thing my MIL ever gave me… she makes me livid on a daily basis. Her son is jello…
Does anyone know how long it takes to grow balls? My man has a little something there but I’m not waiting around too much longer…
My husband and his ex only got along when they were making fun of other people. Now he enjoys sharing her many daily texts, emails, and voicemails; but I don’t care anymore. I hate her and resent him and pretend she doesn’t exist.
I was looking forward to some amour but it took two minutes for the snoring to begin beside me… should’ve logged out quicker, I guess.
I love my husband. But if I’d known the kind of father he would be, I wouldn’t have married him.
i am no longer myself anymore. i am the person that my mate and everyone else wants me to be….and i hate that person. i would give anything to be myself again
Ever since we became pregnant I wish my husband would disappear….he smells, has no manners, is loud, and overly attracted to me…
ugg anyone want a husband?
I left early to pick up my parents from the airport just so I could wait in line at the car wash for a half and hour. I just wanted time to myself. It was fabulous! I listened to my ipod and sang my heart out! Anyone need to go to the airport??
My day is ruined when the stepchildren come over. They are so selfish and annoying. And their mom is the wickedest spoiled witch, too.
I finally spilled my guts about my kids to my shrink today. It felt good to be validated. Next time he wants to talk about my ex. That rotten pig.
I wish I could go back in time to when my kids were little. I miss them sooooooooo much.
my husband mumbles and yells when I’m not around…I’ve recorded him and it bothers and hurts me
I don’t enjoy cooking at all…
Sometimes I feel like crying because I’m struggling so much. I don’t know what to do.
I let my 9 month old son cry in his crib (more like wine) for sometimes an hour just so I can sleep a little later.

I’ve finally had it with this farce of a marriage I am in. I am in a relationship with a man who is still married to his ex but primarily married to his mother. Both intrude on our lives on a regular basis; the ex several times per day. She obviously thinks this is ok and apparently it is. I am done with this bull.
My man is out having a drink with his mother. I would like to think they are having an honest conversation, but I know he can’t do it. He is so messed up and I can’t take it much longer.
The sound of my mother-in-law’s voice gives me a visceral response like a combination of puking, hearing screeching, getting stung by bees, kicked in the balls, hair pulled, mosquito in the ear, muzak, and a loud fart.
Grandma Rhino the Queen of Old Hags is here on our coast but won’t come see the kids because she is pouting because I hate her!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is the grossest, meanest excuse for a mother and grandmother. I am so happy she is avoiding us because I hate her. She has been awful to me and I am the only one who has ever been good for her son and his kids. I have put up with so much crap and she appreciated that until my husband started trouble between her and me because he is too much of a coward to confront me or her or his ex and is such a baby brat!!!!! I want to marry a MAN.
My husband’s ex is such a lazy ass, useless person! She won’t even get out of the car to greet her children or buckle them. My husband does it whether picking up or dropping off. She is such a loser, the cops have to be at the drop-off point. She is early, dying to dump the kids when we have them; late and grumpy and waiting for my husband to take them (and hurry!) when returning them. Why does God give children to horrible monsters when good people can’t conceive? That is MESSED UP!
I don’t trust my husband anymore. He says he’s working on himself but continues creating problems between me and his mom and me and his ex!
My husband’s ex just tore into me in front of her children. It was horrific, and I shot back. It felt good but what a terrible scene. Two months ago my husband’s mother did the same thing to me. I just smiled. I think it is time to leave this dysfunctional family. Trouble is, I love my husband very much.
My stepkids just got the cutest haircuts. They are scared their mom will cry and scream but she won’t take them for cuts. She wants us to spend tons of money at a fancy stylist and wants the boys to look like girls. It is so hard to explain to the kids it’s THEIR hair and they needn’t worry who likes it or be scared of people who throw fits over nothing, without just saying their mom is a stupid b*&^%
Last year I lost my first and only baby (girl) due to a miscarriage. My mom and my boyfriend thought it would be best to keep trying but i didn’t want to in fear that i would loose another child. A few months after i adopted a darling puppy who i swear has the attitude of what i would expect from my daughter. Very prissy, loves anything pink or fluffy, likes to dance and listens to no one. I’m starting to think i no longer want to have kids. I have the greatest “doghter” in the world. Now how do i tell my this to my boyfriend and mom?
Sometimes, I just want to scream at my 3 year old, who talks non stop to “shut the f$%# up”
I wish I had a job so I could get away from everyone and socialize with some adults.
Sometimes when my toddler picks her nose I don’t stop her. Better she get it out than me! I just wait til she strikes gold, wipe off her treasure with a napkin and then make her wash her hands in soap and water.
I wish I lived in a world with my boyfriend and our children and only had to deal with other people we liked, when we wanted. And I wish we didn’t know what was happening in every corner of the world every moment. It is too much and I can never feel at ease or happy, just lucky and hopeful things can get better for others.
I am so glad my husband does not look like the stud he is… if people knew, they would be drawn to him like bees to honey
My husband and I were inches from divorce but now it’s like when we first met. I can’t stop thinking about him and don’t like to wash for hours after we make out.
My family never helps me and sometimes I fantasize about some kind of inheritance so I can jumpstart my life.
I can’t go into toy stores without crying since my child is gone. I will never be the same. I will probably never walk into another store that has kids’ stuff.
My sons have moved away and my daughter refuses to speak to me for some reason. I feel like I had children and now they’ve passed away. It is so hard and heartbreaking.
I feel guilty about everything I do and don’t do, and thinking about what I say and do and think is the hardest work EVER. I hope to uncondition myself and be a better role model for my children.
Sometimes I feel depressed and fearful for no apparent reason and then realize my parents were not supportive and unconditionally loving toward me and my sis. I will not do that to my kids.
I love my husband more than I can say, but I’ll never get over some things that have happened and things I’ve given up. I feel sad all the time but try to be positive around the kids.
