Wednesday letters

[rere]

Dear WP,

Just know, complete immersion in parenting still occurs even with kids out of the house. I spent yesterday being the sounding board for Dds meltdown that her clinical next semester would be on Sunday. She was ready to burn the place down, plus it would hinder her trips home on the weekend. After many texts, and a few hours, she worked it out to Thursday, but not before my eye was twitching. And then I needed to get Ds his transcripts and medical information for him to submit to the school he starts next fall. That one wasn't as twitchy, but the stress is that there are several boxes to check on that process and he's not the most meticulous person.

Signed, I complain, but glad I'm still their first go to person.

PDQ may DD

Dear Sh!tty Teacher -

We've been struggling with you all year. You wouldn't stick to DD1's learning plan. You provide no feedback. You ignore emails. You don't show up to meetings that DD1 sets with you. You won't answer questions in class. You won't answer questions before or after class. You won't answer questions in office hours. So DD1 has gone around you and over your head to get the help/accommodations that she's entitled to...

And now you accuse her of cheating, with seemingly no evidence beyond your gut? Sir, you'd better have alllll your ducks in a row because I'm going to the mat on this one. I'm already on the offensive. You've been at the school for a very short time and have already managed to piss off a number of families, the learning center employees, and your colleagues. I have a 30+ year history with the school. Everyone LOVES DD1. She has literally never been in trouble at school. For anything. Ever.

DD1 is beside herself that anyone would think that she would cheat on anything. She has worked SO HARD in your class, almost in spite of you.

You're the problem. Not us.

Let's f-ing go.

Dear pink eye -

Please don't progress past DD2. Yuck.

Dear Work,

I have to drive into our office three days this week for meetings. It’s a BEATING. I’m remembering why I wanted to work from home.

Dear Coworkers,

Thank you for not making me do a meeting next week. I really REALLY need to take the week off for my sanity.

Dear Doggy
Can we please just sleep a good solid 6 hours? How about potty at 10 and then up at 5 to potty again. We all need to sleep. Potty at 9, 2, 3, 4 and then out until I force you to get up and leave the house isn't working for anyone.
Tired dog mom
PS I can't control the weather so you have to potty in the rain

Dear DH
Next time you insinuate that I don't do anything other than sit on the couch I'm going to start listing off all the things I deal with that aren't tangible. Ie: Bill payer, appointment keeper, taxi driver, shopper, cook, dog mom, default parent, organizer, etc.

Dear mini vacation next week
I'm really looking forward to having Tuesday all to myself. I'm also looking forward to my 2 night stay at the coast and I'm secretly hoping DH decides not to come. I'm not looking forward to Thanksgiving at all.
Me who needs some time away

Dear Mom
I don't want to hear about your upcoming trip to Germany/Austria. You have it stuck in your head what you must wear/do/say and won't listen to anyone. I'm sick of hearing you whine and play pity me. You even pissed your granddaughter off when you yelled at her about her sweater suggestion.
Daughter who is going to avoid you like the plague until you return. So yes, I won't be hanging out with you all day for Thanksgiving and will be just coming to dinner.

Dear young teen (not mine),

I hope that you are getting the help that you need. Apparently, a person here left via ambulance after the school and police were involved.

We are glad that our program was a place where you wanted to come to and your safe place.

Dear self,

It looks like the office exploded. What the heck happened? Clean your office! You’d never keep it like this if you still worked in a company office instead of at home. It’s not the family dumping ground.

Signed,
The self that works in here

Dear kids,

What happened to the living room? It also looks like it exploded. Or rather like DD2’s birthday exploded in here.

Love,
Please clean up this mess

mae0111, I'm with you in solidarity! When do we go?

Dear DD1, I think we are done shopping together until you're like 34. Your moods when you cannot get EXACTLY what you want are kicking me while I'm down. I HATE shopping in general, don't like the hour drive to stores and also feel discouraged when you cannot find something you like. News flash: there are no perfect Uggs, swimsuits or dresses. You have to decide what's good enough and be chill with that.
