I WANNA COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My confession: hmmmm....
I don't like my dad. I've tried for years...I just don't like him. It's not that he's evil or anything, we just have nothing in common/different senses of humor/etc. I just don't like him. I get sad/jealous when I hear from people who really get along with their dad.

I actually feel better telling that to someone.

Girls are never easy... I certainly wasn't! My guy's girls are 18 and 20. He says that I missed the worst of it (thank god) but that it has def gotten better. Good luck for the future and I hope that you can find some comfort zone with your doug's daughter... it is impossible to fill the shoes that a girl doesn't want you to fill... don't take it personal and don't give up on her. (don't expect it to be easy either)

She spent the night over at our house on Valentine's Day (she invited herself!!), when she comes and visits, it's not for a couple of hours like my parents, but for 8 freaking hours (and she doesn't live far). There's more, but I could go on forever. She is just driving me freaking crazy. It bugs me even more Brian isn't telling her to back off even though he's annoyed too. He says he wants to avoid drama, but I swear, he's so not gonna like it if I snap and tell her to back off.

Ugggh!!! I can't imagine what it must be like (especially with your new little guy at home!) Maybe she is having a hard time letting go of Brian (especially with your new little guy at home). If I were you I would get a little chuckle out of the fact that you have all the things she is having trouble letting go of!! Enjoy your happy family!!!!!!

Ha!! I love it! The thought alone should get you through the next "fancy little party!" (of course if that doesn't work you should seriously consider prancing around half naked!)

I really close friend of mine is getting on my nerves! I feel like she is always taking, taking, taking and very rarely reciprocating. But for some reason I feel unable to talk to her about it. i hate conflict and a lot of the time I think that it really might just be me. I love her but sometimes I don't LIKE her!

[lscilley]

Mine is bad I think. I think my FI's parents are really weird and annoying and I don't like being around them very much. I could care less if his dad comes to our wedding. I think my dad and my FI's dad would totally butt heads and I said if we have to pick one to come mine wins since dad has to walk his little girl down the aisle. We spend more time with my mom who lives in a different province.

I confess I had a bottle of wine for dinner!

 

Cheers Betsy!

Right there with you!!!! Cheers to us too!

My FI cannot stand his step-mom. He thinks she's pure evil. I actually don't think she's so bad (at least not yet!) and I have a more difficult time communicating with his real mom.

[ErinB]

Mandy that's kinda how I feel about my step mom! She is so controlling! She had the audacity to give me a lecture on how expensive our wedding would be and she needed to attend a family reunion the week before but, "don't worry, we'll scrimp and save so your dad can make it."

 

FI can't stand her! I mainly just ignore her.
