Random Fail: First World Problems

[Astylla]

I hate my sister. I honestly hate her. She is basically killing my mother through grief and I cannot stand it. I want to yell and scream at her, but that would just be to make myself feel better, but would end up hurting my mom even more, and that's not worth it.

Wall o'text inc (sorry, but I need to vent so badly):

I've mentioned it before but my sister loves drama and loves to blame everyone else for her problems and married a shitty husband who I like to say is verbally violent (99.9% sure he's never hit their kids,but loves to bark real loud and be an all around douchebag asshole). My mom lives in CT, and they live in the next town over, whereas I live in Cali so can't do all that much. Anyway, my sister and her husband for the longest time didn't work. They would try to do silly little stuff for income (sell Wow gold, start like an esty-type thing, etc.), but nothing consistent. The husband's father is actually who bought their home, and they've basically been living off retirement (too proud for welfare, which I'd be fine with it if were for the fact that they have three kids).

Oldest child is exhibiting some of the husband's violent behavior and has an IEP. Sister's town sucks for IEP kids, and my mom's town is really good. So for about two months now my sister and her kids have been living at my mom's Mon-Thurs so the kids could be enrolled at her school. My mom is a 6th grade teacher there and even got my sister a teacher's aide job. My sister actually was a teacher maybe ten years ago for about 5 years. My mom is retiring this year and even tried to convince her boss to hire my sister to take her place.

As I mentioned, my sister loves drama, and can be really vindictive and over sensitive. Apparently there are parent-teacher conferences tomorrow and my sister got into some sort of fight with the secretary at the school because she wanted to meet at X time which was too late for the teacher or something. Some of my mom's coworkers told her there was a fight, so she texted my sister being pretty innocent to the whole thing. "I heard there was an issue with [secretary], what happened?" Sister flipped the ever living fuck out of my mom. Blamed my mom for making the school against her...When she was fucking trying to get the school to hire her, right? That the school was racist to my sister's skin color (...we're white). etc. etc.

Sister and husband ended up coming to my mom's to take the kids away, husband also did his big bully thing screaming at my mom that this was all her fault etc. Later on, sister came back to get all the stuff saying my mom can no longer see the kids and they were going to move back to their home's school district.


Like, they are shitheads. My mom knows this, but she wants to see the grandkids. She is terrified that when the grandfather dies they will end up homeless. And honestly, even with knowing my sister is a shithead, she's still my mom's daughter. I wouldn't know what I would do if my kids acted this way. And I know my mom loves her grandkids so much, it's like killing her from the stress of worrying about them.

And I can't even do anything. If I yell at my sister, she'll just take it out on my mom, and my sister is not worth it. I want my mom to come here, and she won't. And I hate that, too. She would have a restful retirement here, she would have my kids as grandkids to play with. She would never be treated disrespectfully, and never has been when she's come to visit, so she knows that. But she's got it stuck in her head that CT is her home. But even if she were happy there, the weather is not good for her health. I keep bringing up the friends she has who have retired to the south, but she just won't budge. It does hurt. I get it, in the sense that she knows her grandkids here are in good hands, so she has to worry about the grandkids there. But I don't want her to have a heart attack.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhh hhhhhhhgggggggh

So much of this I can relate to. I'm the youngest of 3 , my sisters being 17 and 19 years my elder. As you can imagine I've seen quite a bit of their family issues. They lived in and out of the home I shared with my parents a good part of my life including their kids which my parents would have done everything for and in some cases did.

I know it hurts to watch and see this and your mom too but the reality is you can't just change them as sad as it is. At least for now you know where they are for now but I understand the possibilities of the future are so uncertain.

No one should be put in these positions and the kids shouldn't be leverage which it can seem like at times. It's a serious and frustrating situation I just know from personal experience it rarely ends well..

Sounds a hell of a lot like my younger sister, and I wouldn't wish her brand of drama-mongering on anyone.

More annoying still, my parents pretty much lack the ability to say no to her. It just doesn't click that she should leave her husband, that she should stop buying premium whatever to save money for more pertinent needs, to not waste money on gambling/drinking trips, to fucking learn how to drive and maintain her car(s) so they're not constantly being wrecked or breaking down, that the rest of us aren't her child's parents, that drugs are bad (m'kay~), to not keep calling at 3am because something out of our control annoys you, and then some.

Some of the opportunities she's had lobbed at her and squandered annoy me. Certainly a case of different paths despite the same upbringing, but if I had half her luck, I'd certainly be way better off than I am now in probably all ways.

Oh oh oh are we talking about in laws and family?!

None of us can beat your wife trying to murder you, man.

Someone bought a rinoa figure I had on sale in Amazon. Buyer is trying to be a cheap bitch by having me mail it to her husband stationed overseas. She only paid for standard shipping at 4.99, will cost me almost 40 to send. Haha no

[Spicyryan]

Had a dream right before waking up that Bane gave me another infraction here. I kid you not.

Generally I just don't dream though which is nice.

What figure was it?

What figure was it?

Rinoa Heartily from FFVIII https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...&condition=all

Bitch knew I caught her after I told her I can either ship it to her directly and she can mail it to her Husband/Son/Whatever at his international military base or I can cancel it as there's just absolutely no way I'm paying almost 40 to ship when she paid 23 after standard shipping and Amazon taking it's cut.

[Tyrath]

lol yeah thats twice the cost of the item itself. Fuck that noise.

You had a golden opportunity to make his nightmare came true and you passed on it. Shit mod indeed.

Wake up feeling kind of sick, light headed/woozy, headache and just generally bleh and it looks like it's lightly raining. Drag my ass out start to ride and rain picks up more and wind picks up making it even colder. Turn back call for a ride in. Get going and get stuck behind a 7 car wreck spread across all lanes of the highway.

[BaneTheBrawler]

You're right. I was just so overwhelmed with joy I didn't think of it.

I think of you every time a nurse has to disimpact some old fuck, so there's that

[dasva]

Oh shit another fail. So child support called us demanding we garnish an employees wages because he's missed 1 payment (which I suppose is an improvement from before when they just suspended his license even though he made a living to pay said support as a truck driver) . If that wasn't a big enough fail he was fired 4 months ago and we informed them of that back then. What makes this the biggest fail though is this is the ex employee that died a month ago. Fuck man give the guy a break
