#1 My kid is sooooo tired. Has been in meltdown mode since we got home from school. Made worse when DH told her he's gone for work the next two days. I let her fall asleep in my bed while I nursed the baby to sleep. She's just goofing off and whining behind me. GO THR FUCK TO SLEEP.
#2 My mom and sisters are coming into town this weekend for my Gma's 90th birthday. Talked to both of them in the last two days. Both asked what we're doing this weekend. I told them I was hoping they could play with the kids Saturday am so I could get some yard work done. Both said they'd rather do yard work. WTF?!? The girls want nothing more than to play with their aunts and they'd rather do yard work. Huh? Fuck you. My kids are amazing. You don't want to play with them? Fine. I'm thisclose to just having my aunt pick them up too (she's getting my mom and taking her right to my gparents) so I don't have to bother with them.
#3 DH is battling a bout of depression/stress/anxiety. That puts 90% of the house and kids crap on me. Normally I can deal but I'm slammed at work and not able to get enough hours in to get everything done. He won't see anyone about it. Won't do anything about it except deal with it himself. If history serves it will pass. But goddamn if life here isn't hard in the meantime.
No big vents to add (well, no new vents anyway), but wanted to send good thoughts your way. Sounds like you have a lot going on. And it totally stings when people basically say they don't want to spend time with your kids. I'm sorry that happened.
Who says that? That they would rather do yard work? I could see saying'we don't mind doing yard work so you can spend time with your children' in a giving way but this sounds horrible. Hugs for that.
My nanny asked to borrow $1000 for her new couch. We technically owe her money for her vacation before September rolls around so we could go that now. But I don't have an extra. $1000. I think I will offer $500

That's ballsy of your nanny. I'd have to be pretty desperate to ask my employer for money. I'm not sure a couch would count. That's nice of you to offer at all. Is there something in your contract with her that requires her her to pay you back if she's terminated or quits before September?

She gets 2 weeks vacation per year so about one day accrued per month. So even if she quit today, we would at least owe her one week. Just means that if she takes a week, she already got paid.

Im adding another. What a night. I just need to go to bed.
#4 as I mentioned above DH is going oot tomorrow for two days. He was gone three days last week too. When he left last week we realized that we only have one working laptop charger bc the puppy chewed up two others. He took it and promised he'd order some more (his work pays for them). Well, he didn't and just informed me he's taking it again. I was going to WFH tomorrow since I have late school drop off and early school pickup. I was psi say with him. He was all you can work from the office. Nope. No VPN there. Ass.
