Confession Thursday

PrimoBride

Come on...confess your little hearts out. Make it good, make it juicy. Let it all out!

I confess that I am really pissed off at the pregnant girl at my work. She is really milking the pregnancy thing and everybody just caters to her. She's on bed rest but I truly feel that she did it to be selfish. She knew she had high blood pressure yet she continued to go to McDonalds everyday to get her lunch fix, uh no wonder you have high BP!  She used the sick time to her advantage yet everybody said "oh she's pregnant" Don't use pregnancy as a sickness, it's a way of life

Confession: I wish FI would go back to working nights just long enough for me to get done what I need to do! Like hitting the tanning bed after work, catching up on my shows that he hates, and other very important things. =P

I am over this wedding planning and refuse to spend another penny.  I have hit the wall!!

Primo - Ugh! I know exactly how you feel! DH has a co-worker who is pregnant and eats McD's breakfast EVERY-DAY and then gets another fast food for lunch EVERYDAY and complains about feeling sick from the food all the time, shows up to work late, etc. It's so annoying!

I just got a call from the couple we are headed to Vegas with next month...they have cancelled,but I really don't care what their problems are I HAVE MY OWN!

My mom is forcing me to change my wedding date because she has a vacation that she is leaving for two days before my wedding. Instead of delaying her vacation two days, five months in advance, she is forcing me to change the date or she won't help me pay for it.

My sister called my saying that my mom is really upset because she is making me do this, and I am glad she is. She is forcing me to lose hundreds of dollars in deposits, not to mention the money I spent on printing and mailing my STD's. I have spent the last week crying over her selfish greed, and I confess that I am happy it is bothering her even if it is a small fraction of how much it is tearing me apart.

That sounds so messed up, but I don't understand how she can rationally think it is okay to do this to me.

I confess that I really hate my living situation right now. I am living with my in-laws, and as much as appreciate the whole no-rent thing I would KILL to have some indepedence and space of our own. DH doesn't feel this way because it's his house. But I just feel like I am going crazy. I really hope this economy picks up ASAP so we can move out before I end up screaming at my MIL!!

I can't believe your own mother would do this to you! That is awful. I'm sorrry to hear that. I would be so pissed!

Here is mine: I am soooo excited and happy about my wedding, but when I really start thinking about how much it's going to cost me I get so depressed! I am super jealous of people who have help on their weddings from their parents - but after reading PJS's confession, I suppose it is a blessing in disguise that I don't have to take their opinions into account.

My other confession is I am so tired of hearing one of my friends constantly complain that she can't lose weight when she refuses to give up fast food. I have told her a million times that I don't care how much she jogs, fast food EVERYDAY is going to keep the pounds on!

I am so sorry... this is outrageous.  Do you have any other options other than her money?

loop0406

My eyes roll so much when i read the 'wedding party'  posts about how bridesmaids don't want the same length dress, like the colors, aren't contributing to pre-wedding parties, blah blah blah. I personally think having a big bridal party should be left to sweet sixteens and quinces that have 14 people (7 couples) at their party......and I'm glad I only have 1 MOH and 1 Flower girl to avoid all the drama and petty sh*t...... !

PJS001

I won't have any extra spending money until August when I get my financial aid refund from the university. I had about 1,500 dollars saved up to handle all the final wedding deposits and invitations and STD's during the summer, but the alternator went out in my car mid-may and devestated my savings.

The only thing she was paying for was the deposit for the reception venue which I need to secure the date since another bride is trying to get it. But, she doesn't want to pay for something she won't be at. It doesn't bug me that I have to change the date, it is just offensive that I am not more important than a vacation. Also, it is embarrasing to have to tell everybody "Nevermind" after mailing out my STD's. I am worried people are going to think that there is something with our relationship, not that my mom is selfish.

And I really wanted a fall wedding, but I can't reschedule for next fall because that is my last semester in grad school and I will have my comprehensive exams and my thesis to finish and defend. So know we are just trying to decide on a new date in early 2011.

Just keep swimming, right? And it could be worse, ho-hum.

To PJS001: I can't  believe your mother! What if you called her bluff? I mean, would she really miss her own daughter's wedding? My mom, who lives overseas, tried to pull this, telling me the spring was really inconvenient b/c that's when she plants her garden. I told her that I was sorry she had competing priorities and I only hoped she could make it - but she didn't have me in a financial stranglehold.  Is the deposit enormous?  I'm so sorry you have to deal with this.

My confession is that I have a list of people who came to my wedding and didn't give us so much as a card. It's not a hit list - more of a disappointment list. I know it's super petty and I don't know why it bothers me so much, but it does. 

PJS001

Lewis - I would totally do the same thing. I have a list like that from my college graduation in December. Just close family though, people that didn't even call and give a congrats.

No, the deposit isn't serious, but my work hours got cut during the summer so to pay my bills I am taking another 300.00 out of my savings which leaves me with just about 87.25 for summer "padding". And yeah, she is full-blown serious. My mom is dating a doctor so she says that November is the last time in the year that he has a break from being on-call so she can't cancel it. She would rather lose my respect for her as a mother than him as a boyfriend.

lewisc2002

That's crap - I'm a doctor and no doctor is on call for an entire month (e.g., the entire month of December).  if we weren't so strapped saving for a house down payment, i would offer to lend you the money (having never even met you!) b/c your predicament has gotten me so upset. 

what field are you in? i could look into jobs here (i work at MD Anderson) or ask my hubby (he's an engineer) to make up for your cut work hours.

akg0053

PJS- I wouldn't move it. FI's family pulled the same crap, and we told them no way in hell. By calling their bluff, they relented and let us keep our date. You could try that maybe, but I'm sorry you're dealing with it. 

Loop- I'm jealous of your tiny wedding party. I just wanted my MOH and my sister, but FI has 3 brothers and he was actually being all petty about having uneven sides. Then the list kept growing from there (including two girls that I never even asked to be in my bridal party telling me they ordered their dresses because they heard through the grapevine that I was letting them choose. Since they are my family, it's not worth the drama and chasm it would cause to kick them out). Ugh.

Nanner22

Let's see....

- Although I'm very glad that I got hired and have a teaching position for the fall, part of me would love to be a stay at home wife... FOREVER! haha. But that day will come soon.

- I'm pretty tired of DH being such a baby about "being tired". I understand that we are busy... btu one man can't be tired every hour of every day. And if you are... take your a$$ to the dr and get checked out (but he won't do that b/c he's just "too busy & tired). My patience has been tested recently with all this whining!!
