This is a bitching thread. [More:]Thursday was my birthday and my twin niece and nephew. My nephew, who is an emotionally delayed kid with ADHD, suddenly gets himself involved with a 19-year-old with a new baby, and my dad (his guardian) is feckless while my mom went so ballistic that they're in a cold war. And now, since he's 18, he's decided he's sleeping over there, and since his girlfriend is already living with a ditzy grandma of a ditzier friend who provides about 2mg of parental-type oversight and wisdom, that's just happening.

(This is almost exactly how my brother ended up with three kids he didn't want to take care of.)

Friday was the 8" or so snowfall. That took me about six hours of running the snowblower, until the crankcase plug came out and the oil leaked everywhere. That wasn't fun.

And now my dad, who naps more than a cat anyway, has a bad back which he blames on me for messing up the bed when I was cleaning in there, because basically he's turned into a grumpy old man.

And tonight both nieces and my mom have been throwing up everything. The girls, being ADHD and delayed and such, have managed to get spit-up all over two sets of bedclothes and a basket of fresh laundry.

My mom, who's had cancer surgery and a kidney stone in the last 90 days and was just getting back to "normal" for a 69-year-old who still works 40 hours, managed to get it all in the bucket. But her color is ... well, the metachat background color, approximately.
sorry to hear all this dhartung. It must be very hard right now but try to stay calm, tonight. And tomorrow maybe you will get a little outside help? *mecha hugs*
