I had a rant. And I forgot it. My rant is that I forgot my original rant! BLARGH!

I see you for maybe three hours a day before we're ready to pass out. Our "dinners" are at 8pm, and you're gone most days before I wake up. With as much time as your job takes away from us, you're gonna grumble at me getting a job? You think I LIKE sitting at home alone all day? I may as well live alone...
It makes me really sad that my boyfriend can't be at my exhibition opening. I SO wish he could be. It makes me want to cry that he can't be there holding my hand when I am criticised for my work, or praised. It makes me feel so sad... I miss him. X

Why is my mother so bloody insensitive!? I tell her my cat may have a tumour and her response.... 'maybe you should have her put down, it would be cheaper'. I understand you have apparently never formed an emotional attachment to anything but try to show a little compassion for those of us who have.
I had just an all-purpose miserable day. I got in a fight with L because I spent a bunch of time yesterday evening at the landromat, while he took care of the kids, then we switched so that he could go play Warhammer with a friend at the game store. He was annoyed because the clothes were still damp at 5am when he had to go to work, and I was annoyed because he came in and turned on the light while I was sleeping, when he came home, and then again when he got up in the morning, which I find really insensitive and rude.
My daughter is on a whining kick, almost didn't make it to her ballet class because she was ignoring me, and my son didn't nap until it was so late that he didn't want to go to bed on time, leading to them both going to sleep about 15 minutes ago.
We still have clothing drying on every available surface. And the dishes never got done, or the living room cleaned up because I spent the better part of two hours getting my kids to bed for the second day in a row.

i cant stand it when people dont teach their kids not to scream unless they are in trouble. i was at the dog park with my puppy and this lady brought her kid and he was screaming bloody murder at the top of his lungs running from the dogs. i thought they were actually scaring him until he started laughing. i ignored it the first couple of times until i realized his mom was just going to sit in the corner and read and not reprimand him for acting like a little demon child who was old enough to know better. so me and the puppy left... i kind of hate kids...

Using the disclaimer "No offense, but..., or any variation thereof, is not a 'get out of jail, free' card for discarding personal responsibility. It doesn't grant immunity. It doesn't make an insult less insulting. It doesn't mean that any subsequent QQ'ing initiates an argument. An insult is an insult. A criticism is still a criticism, no matter how much sugar and honey you cover it with.
No offense, but social retards really have a lot to learn about communication. It's simply redundant to have to point that out!
