~I Tried To Stay Silent...~

I'm happy for the people that vent elsewhere or don't need to vent at all... That is NOT me, sorry. If you don't believe what I write or just plain don't like it feel free to move onto the next post. This is my way of getting things off my chest and I need it... Now...for those of you that do care and want to let me vent. It's not going to be much longer with the "guest" here. Last night she was annoyed with our kids because they were giggling and she couldn't sleep over it apparently. She stomped off to the room after saying she's going to freeze in the room to sleep because she's sick of this crap. Today she asks my oldest daughter if I'm on the computer while in my room. Is that ANY of her business? No. I do NOT need a babysitter, I am a grown adult with 4 children of my own, almost 5 kids... My kids put their shoes either by the back door when they come in or by the front door. My oldest daughter left her shoes by the back door. The "guest" says your going to get sick for not wearing shoes outside. My daughter said I was wearing them but I left them by the back door where they belong. She said "Oh". Again...none of her business. Oh yeah and last night we had pasta for dinner and she says I don't eat pasta or chicken... Your living in the WRONG house then because that's 80% of what we eat here... Okay, sorry had to let it all out. I have been holding it in but I couldn't do it any longer...

I had glad you have a place where you know you can vent and that people care and are concerned about you and your family. What business is it of hers if you are on your computer? Or where the kids leave their shoes? She really needs to go. It would be better for all of you of she didn't move to the new place with you.

@Happy2beme Yeah not everyone likes the posts of mine but it is what it is... I can't let one person stop what I need to say. Neither of those things are her business which really annoys me. I just want her to mind her business and be nice to everyone here-why is that SO hard? Gosh! My husband is hitting his breaking point with her so I already know it won't be much longer now.

@Happy2BeMe Oh she will make us the bad guys that's for sure. I don't care though, my husband doesn't talk to his other family members anyway that shes going to lie to... I do have so many amazing friends here and I'm so grateful for all of you! =)

@LovingMyBabies I can see why he would be. She does have it coming but I suppose she will blame it on all of you when it happens. She seems to think nothing is ever her fault. Ya don't worry too much about what one person says. You have far too many people on here who care an out you and your family.

I feel the same way. I had to quick getting counseling due to finances so have this forum to vent in is great. You will have to have a party after she leaves. So sorry you have to go through this. As long as your kids know this isn't normal, nor is it forever. She might get something for Christmas in her stocking. Some coal!

@LovingMyBabies .....So sad she has to be this way. Her choice though. Many older folks would enjoy having the children around. Glad you are able to cope until D-day.

I like guests who don't put their noses into every detail that doesn't concern them. One has to have some respect for their host. Not criticize or try to change the way people want to live.

You'll burst if you keep your anger inside. Can't you write down all the issues, one below the other with numbers, and put the list on your aunt's pillow one day?

@MALUSE That is too funny and I honestly wouldn't have thought to do it. Lol. It is my husband's aunt though so I do try to be respectful to her.

@LovingMyBabies Never mind whose aunt it is. Such a list may come handy in an argument one day. Your plight reminds me of the situation in a Turkish family we know. In their case, it was the husband's mother who made life hell for the wife. I may write about them. It's too much for a comment box.

May I ask who the "guest" is? It sounds like the person doesn't appreciate staying with you. I vent here quite often, like I did today again over church issues. Our house guest is my mother, who should have gone back to her house months ago. She won't leave. I love her, and I am grateful to still have her around, but it's maddening how she is always trying to be in everyone else's business, then keeps talking to me about it...or asking questions that I don't have an answer to, or care. Or, the fact that she doesn't respect the fact that I am attempting to earn online and expects me to just jump if she needs to take 50 cents to the bank, or go to the store for a box of Jello etc.

@marsha32 Its my husbands aunt that's here. She complains about everything, tells our kids what to do, she can't stand our kids, she's not nice to anyone, and she never minds her own business! We have had more than enough...

I knew things would get worst, I figured you would have already found her a place to live, near by so HUBBY could stop and check in on her. Two women cannot live in the same house, it just doesnt work.

@andriaperry She cannot afford anywhere else and we cannot afford to get her a place either. I am a very laid back person and usually don't have an issue living with other women-but not when they complain and boss my children around every day.

@LovingMyBabies Even if you could afford it, you shouldn't pay for it. She's an adult. She can figure something out for herself.

Just let it roll off your back. She can b!tch all she wants but she is the one who is dependent upon your charity. If she doesn't like things, she is free to leave!

I am not quite sure who your guest is but it sounds stressful. I had a friend stay with us for a while (much to my husbands dismay) and it ended badly. I hope you are able to get this person on out the door.

I see what you mean. Yo do need a little space. Sometimes you just need to let things out or it becomes too bottle up. Unhealthy.You know keeping a journal is also beneficial...but you are already on myLot...probably same difference lol.Right?

Venting surely releases mental pressure. Its always better to liberate yourself from accumulated bursts of thoughts. Best remedy is to keep mentioning her for her wrong doings so that you feel free. You own your own mind, she can not seed it with her crazy tasks.Therefore show your retaliations for her unlikely things by mentioning & objecting her. Believe it, you shall definitely feel light & free.
