Dear DH, You are... insane. I listed a woodstove for free on Facebook so that someone will come haul this thing away from our basement and we can get the space back. No one in the world is going to give us a "security deposit" of cash to make sure they don't damage anything while removing it. It's free on Facebook. We live in NH. People who want a free woodstove are more than likely people who know what to do with this thing. We don't actually know what taking it out entails, which is why I'm making it someone else's problem. It's not random housewives showing up with a minivan like you seem to think. I thought this would be an easy fix to a silly problem. Signed, Love you, but you're delusional
Dear kids, please try to be cooperative and helpful this weekend while Grandma and Pop Pop take care of you for 3 nights. You are physically challenging enough for your Dad and me in our 40's, so please try to remember that your grandparents are in their 70s. We've tried to build in a break each day by hiring babysitters, but it will still be a lot for them.
Signed, please also let our flight back on Sunday be on time!
Dear friends I spent 2 years with in my 20's in New Hampshire/Vermont, I can't wait to see you! And have some alone time with DH.
Dear self/DH - try not to drink too much or stay up too late, because you are no longer in your 20s.
I realize I am on the Senior management team, however that has not increased any influence for me, since my request for more staff and efficiency fell flat.Just so you know, employees are seeing that low output, people that really bring no value, including some high paying management, are tolerated and there really is no incentive to bust ones ass, because doing nothing creates the same results. And with that in mind, I may be out of here sooner than I expected. I can't with the inefficiency and level of idgf attitude that is allowed. My staff work in the public, so they can't just do the bare minimum, but they are getting burned out from the internal culture.
Signed, sick of caring.
Dear Ds,
So glad you are back in communication after 3 weeks of you being off grid. Sleeping 4 hrs a night in the mud with no showers sounds awful. Hopefully you can join us on vacation next week and recuperate.
Dear Friends on the other side of the mountain Can we please find a date to meet up in the middle and go for a hike/walk? I miss you and both of our schedules are kind of crazy to find a weekend to visit but maybe just one day. If we hike around Clear Lake that is about equal drives for both of us. Missing you 186momx
Dear DH I asked you to find something to do once golf league ended so I could continue to have one evening of quiet time. I wasn't very happy to have you walk in the door at 4:45 last night and then give me crap. Yes I have Friday's off where I schedule appointments, do the errands and chores. This is not my day to sit and do nothing. All I want is to watch trashy girl TV or read a book for 2 hours without anyone needing me. I found an archery league 15 minutes from our house that runs on Thursday nights. Maybe you need to check it out. Wife
1. Last year I scaffolded you quite a bit in school, so this year I was hoping to step back and at least not have to clean out your locker. I went in 3 times last year to clean it out. The first time just to find out where did all the missing homework assignments go? Then a missing library book, missing coat. This year, I am trying hard not to go to the school even though you have lost a folder, notebook and gym shorts. The locker doesn't close properly, so we told maintenance, and it is possible someone took them since the locker doesn't close.
2. Wow last night was something, a 2 hour consultation with the oral surgeon. Talking about taking out all the wisdom teeth plus a paramolar. It was intense, and I forgot with your medical history nothing can be easy, but your cardiologist did sign off that he has no concerns about anesthesia.
3. Adding the wrong Switch account (Why do you have 2 DH?) to Epic means all the V bucks didn't work. I understand you are 13 but it would be nice if you actually knew what you are doing. Hopefully Epic customer service can fix it.
Signed, MOM
Dear DD,
For the love of GOD pick a Halloween costume already. AHHHH
Love, Mom
Dear DH,
You also drive me crazy but that is pretty normal for our relationship I guess.
Put your damn dishes in the dishwasher when you're done with them! Clean up after your lunch mess. I hate coming home from work to a mess when I'm tired, DS' tired and I need to make dinner!
I know your work has been crappy and demoralizing and all the terrible things. I know. I still need you to pull your weight in this area. You wfh. Set a reminder to clean it all up before I get home at 4pm.
Dear H, I really hope your company's board of directors starts collaborating with you on a more professional level. Sounds like your colleagues are behind your efforts too. And I know I don't say this enough: I love you and am so lucky to have such a smart, innovative and funny partner in all things!! Love, Dglvrk2
Dear DDs, The unsolicited "thank yous" of late are impressive. Perhaps the years of "what do you say?" are finally paying off. Thank you, UR Mom

I hear you! H wfh and is going through a lot at work right now. Either things are messy when I get home or he's grumpy when Ds and I don't put things away immediately. Yesterday, he even barked at me for having my stuff out while I was still unloading the car. A shot of tequila and a glass of wine helped his mood 🤣
Dear DD2, I understand that you are confident in your fashion choices. But the level of Punky Brewster Grandma style you're wearing today is... a lot. I was just trying to get you to put on plain colored leggings instead of polka dot leggings with the patterned dress. I didn't think it would become a battle, complete with tears. I just don't want you to become a target in middle school. I love you regardless, but maybe just tone it down a tiny bit? Love, Concerned Mom
Dear DS, You have literally never woken up when your alarm goes off. Today it went off for a full 20 minutes before dad went in there and woke you up. So no, you don't get to be upset with us that you didn't get to say good bye to the girls before they got on the bus. If you woke up on time, you'd see them! That's not our fault! Love you, but dude, the blame game gets old. Love, Stepmom
