Thursday Vent Day

Good morning ladies! Thursday is Vent Day so if something is bothering you lay it all out here!

I HATE my job, not so much what I actually do for a living, but where I work, the BS in the management/supervisor roles and the highschool mentality of my coworkers....

Still waiting to hear back about the job I interviewed for...

My fiance can't learn to pay his bills on time, November it was overdraft fees because he forgot to transfer money from his savings to checking(he said he would look into switching banks, and never did).  December came around, he forgot to pay his car payment, now in January he forgot to pay his credit card bill, he has ADD so he easily forgets things, any ideas on how I can get him to pay his bills without watching him constantly?  I don't want to have to pay the bills myself because I literally do everything else, I am getting worn out because I keep doing everything for him.

Katie I handle ALL the finances in our relationship for that very reason.

I'm ticked off that my mother hid the smart food popcorn on me last night.  I had brought down snacks and my breakfast for this morning, since I knew I was sleeping over.  I went to grab a little popcorn and she said, "I hid it.  You have your snack and a dress to fit into".  

Naturally, I waited until she went to bed and found said smart food and ate a bowl of it, resulting in my fingers swelling up before bed.

Can he set up automatic transfers (savings to checking) and auto bill or even just auto bill pay out of his savings? I have ADD too and I have to set up reminders in my phone and leave notes. Plus have my FI constantly remind me to take care of certain things.

I am frustrated with FI about his contribution to the wedding. I know everyone says that, but I am so frustrated! I come up with an idea and I show it to him and he just says, "whatever you want" I just want an opinion! I tell him that and he says I think it is ugly and too much stuff. So I ask what he would want. He literally tells me that he wants nothing. No stuff on the tables. No decorations. We can just give people paper plate and they can throw them away when they're done. No joke.

He's never been to a wedding so I'm also dealing with him not understanding this isn't just some BBQ with his friends. We're having the wedding at a park that he and his friends play frisbee golf at. Guess what he wants to do during the reception? Yup. Frisbee golf.

I would really like his input b/c I want this to be a reflection of both of us and who we are as a couple. I do not like the direction it is going where it is all me and some stuff that I think he might like, but probably not. He is a minimalist so he would prefer a bunch of nothing. Ugh. **rolls eyes**

I am in a crap mood this morning for no good reason. 

By what magic do shoes fit well in the store and then feel totally uncomfortable when you get them home? I tried on two pairs of sneakers Saturday. Bought one in store, ordered the other on Amazon. Tried both on again today and neither pair is very comfortable and the one I bought in store should go back for sure.

Also, I lost 2 more pounds but my pants feel tighter today than they have in a month. 

Grumble.

<div>He said he set up my car payment this morning to be automatic, so that is good,one less thing to worry about.  I don't know why but the winter months really get to him, and he is really stressed out with work he is also on depression medicine but I don't think that is working, he is going to start going to see his therapist again, so at least he is trying!</div>

Is he taking vitamin D? If his ADD is worse in winter than he may have a defieciency. Has he ever had his levels checked?

I got mine checked last summer and my D was so low it was off the charts. I do however, always wear sunscreen and avoid long exposure to the sun. I started taking D and it gave me a lot of clarity. I still have issues but the D actually helps a lot!

I'm geting frustrated that FI has sent out 10 resumes in the last month and has only heard back from 1 company to tell him the position was already filled. I realize they might be hesitant to contact him since he doesn't graduate til June. But we're purposely waiting to move out of my parents' house until we have some sort of idea where we'll be living (he's applied for positions all over the country). I think about how my brother was hired by a BIG NAME company 3 months before he graduated and just want that for FI too. We really wanna be in our own place before the wedding but I don't want to sign a lease and start paying rent somewhere only to find out 2 months later that we're moving across the country or something.

Sarah&Eric2012

Earlier this week I was completely frustrated with FI for his inablity to motivate himself.  I went away this weekend and came home to a house that looked like a frat party was held in it.  I got the "I was gonna clean it up" statement and pretty much ripped him a new one over it.  I'm a bit of a neat freak but I'm also super busy during the week (today I left the house before 7am and won't be back until after 7pm) with work, tutoring, and PT so my evenings are not condusive to cleaning a dirty house.

He however, has "cleaned" up his act and was super helpful last night with contacting vendors and getting me the last couple of addresses I need to send out the STDs today.  He tries sometimes but I think others he just falls back into his "mommy will do it" upbringing and that's when I get mad at him because I'm not his mommy and I can't do everything for him.  His mommy didn't work 3 jobs, she had time to do everything for him.  Welcome to the new economy, if you want me to stay at home and you provide all the money for the household then I'll do everything for you, until then, pickup after yourself! lol

Hi are we marrying the same person??

I handle all the bills and scheduling and budgeting etc.. His cell phone and his car insurance plus one credit card bill is all he needs to coordinate. And he still usually screws something up.  When my contract is up we will be going on a family plan and then it come into my control. 

I have him send a certain amount of money to our joint checking and what's left is his, now granted it is HIS money and (before the lay-off he made almost twice as much as me) yet he never has money.  He doesn't write anything down and never knows where he's at.  I blame his parents.  He never wanted for anything, he's never had a car payment, school was paid for he was on their cell phone plan even after college etc... His mother has created a monster for me! I have to raise him now that he's an adult so hopefully he can help me raise our children to be much less helpless.

AND <span style="font-weight:bold;">the cleaning</span> OMG do your FIs have any concept of what it takes to keep a house running?? This man cannot even mop a floor, he just spreads water around and then leaves the dirty mop bucket for the dogs to drink out of!  CHORES are important as a child you have to know how to clean things!  And like PP said the ADD does not help, he can't focus and he has no attention to detail whatsoever! He is terrible at taking his medicine too , I just don;t know what to do!! I LOVE him, I DO but I sick of being his mother!!

We have had a few fights lately about how I need him to help more, and that it is unfair that I contribute to the joint finances equally from half the money, and then do 90% of the work to keep everything going, all the cleaning, all the laundry, all the shopping,  cooking, taking care of dogs, scheduling our commitments, organizing the bills and paper work, planning the wedding, buying people gifts, planning our social calendar.  I even organize his clothes for him into a work dresser, a casual but presentable dresser, and hang and iron his shirts for him. If I didn't he'd show up to an important function in stained and unacceptable clothing. He destroys everything he wears to work and between natural lack of a fashion sense, his overly laid-back I don't care it fits and its washed attitude and his ADD which makes him unable to pay attention to things like stains or tears, let alone fit or matching, he would look like a hobo.

I know this all seems harsh but I am overwhelmed to the point that I don't know if I can do it!  The love part is all there, but the day to day keeping our lives together and a house running etc is just too much!  I think its not fair, I feel like he has got it soo good being taken care of and I feel unappreciated and that breeds resentment, and if its this bad now what is going to happen if we add kids to the mix?

I know a lot of this is the stress making me more sensitive and tired and easier to annoy.  We have only been living together for a year and that entire year we've been either in a contentious court battle trying to evict tenants from our house followed by a year + now of renovations so quite literally the work is never done. I I just feel overwhelmed and bogged down by all the tedious, tiring, boring, hard work that I don't seem to enjoy all the other stuff as much as I used to!  I am type A for sure and I can't relax when there's so much to be done, and it used to be that his opposite helped me let go a little and my push helped motivate him a little, we met in the middle and it was good, but these days it seems like we're each going further into our opposing personalities, I'm getting more neurotic and anxious and irritable and he is getting even more complacent and withdrawn.  I'm starting to feel like he's a lazy pain in my ass and I fear he thinks I'm an overbearing bitch- I feel us becoming an ugly stereotype.I'm hopefull that since he's laid off and will be home with me and the apartment will finally get finished and rented that it will relive soem stress and we will be able to reconnect.  I am secretly concerned that I'll resent him even more because if he isn't working AND he doesn't step it up with the helping around that house that will be a double whammy theres really no excuses period but if he's not working <span style="font-weight:bold;">and</span> not helping that will be the straw that breaks my back. 

As negative as I sound here, I am trying tobe as positive as possible I really hope that he will find a new or even better job, one where he can work normal hours and we can have a more normal life.  When you work opposite shift like we have been for years its hard to keep things going, we're like roommates who hang out on the weekends, and with all the obligations in our lives we spend most of those weekends running palces or workign on the house or with family and we don't do enough to nurture our relationship period, let alone while it has so much strain on it, so hopefully just the ability to eat a meal together or going to bed at somewhere near the same time will help- I mean its the small things!

FI is driving me nuts!  He went to a travel agent to get books all about Europe.  For the last 5 years we have planning on Europe, since he wants to have kids right away.  He just turned 40 and is freaking out that he'll never have any more kids.

We were gifted a large amount of money to be used for the honeymoon.  So there is Europe, completely paid off, give or take some extra spending money.

Yesterday, we were looking up flights and he almost had a heart attack because of the cost of the flights.  So now he's just saying how we could take 8 vacations for that amount of money, but he still wants to go to Europe.

He'll never come out and say what he really wants, and I say if we have the money its really a once in a lifetime opportunity in our situation.  We should do it now while we can and not regret it later when we're putting 3 kids through college and saving for their weddings.  

mamameech

Oh Dirty - I'd be FUMING!!! I'd be tempted to throw out a b*tch slap if it weren't my mother lol

Britt - when will you hear back about the interview??

My FI said something very hurtful to me last night so I lost sleep and I'm still stewing. I know I was being a little testy but some nights, when I'm really tired, it gets to me that he can just go off to bed and snuggle with the dog while I have to get my son off to bed and make his lunch and all that fun mommy stuff; I'd love to just go to bed too. It's not his fault, but I guess I'm just jealous sometimes of the fact that he has so much less to do that I do . We both work but I also do school part time and have my son and do all the cooking despite the fact that he gets home at 3:30 and I don't get home until 5:15. Oh and all the wedding stuff...

Anyhoo... last night he said "It was better when you weren't home." (I was home late because i was running errands - while he reheated the casserole I premade the night before and was laying on the couch watching tv).
I didn't react, I just did my thing but it really stung

Sarah&Eric2012

meagandal - I totally understand where you are coming from.  I think WE might be marrying the same person.  His mother has created a monster.  He didn't even know how to open the washing machine when we moved in together.  I sent him to the store for bananas once and he came back with "super duper bananas" aka plantains. lol  I've slowly tried to teach him how to do things but he always forgets.  And then when I go away for a weekend, his mother is over the house with food, making sure he is taken care of.  I feel like screaming at HER sometimes.  It's like all the work I do getting him into adult mode goes out the window when I leave the state for 5 minutes.  I told him this weekend that I wouldn't be able to go away ever again and I don't know what I'd do when we have kids because I clearly can't trust him to take care of a stationary item such as a house, nevermind another human being!  It's extremely frustrating but I think we just need to take a deep breath and realize that this is how they were raised and it's going to take some time to break these habits. 

My grandmother used to do everything for my father when he was growing up but when he got married and started living in my childhood home with my mom he took over all the cleaning and he's the one I actually picked up all my ocd neatness from.  I think change will come, we just have to be patient in the process.  Trust me, I know that's far from easy because I do all the same things that you stated with my FI.

Good thing we have a place we can go to vent! :-)

Katiesue04

megandal we are seriously the same couple!!!!  I think we need to vent to eachother lol!  I am totally like you!  I am very organized person, who works really hard, and I can't sit still, I am a bit anal about everything too!!  It bugs me that he can't clean as good as I can, and I usually reclean things after he cleans them.  We always fight and I keep telling him I am sick of being your mom and telling you to do things, I laughed out loud when you said that!  We have found things that work for us, if I write a list of stuff I need accomplished in a day he makes sure everything is done, try making a schedule of stuff and tell him he needs to complete it before he goes to bed.  The therapist also says that it is important that he exercises every day, he thinks twice as fast as everyone else so excersing literally wears you out and it wears his mind out too.  Our problem is we get busy and our schedule goes out of wack, and if I don't keep us on a schedule then nothing gets done.  I know it sounds terrible to have a schedule but that is how his mind works, and there is no use in trying to fight how he functions because he is not going to change.  So you just kind of have to work with it, good luck, and remember your not the only one

Oh I should add my HUGE frustration right now with FMIL!!! She still makes a BIG deal out of the fact she won't be dancing at the wedding, how its against her religion and it will be the first time that she doesn't do the mother/son dance... Well thank you for rubbing it in your son's face when it already upsets him!?!?!?!?!

We still don't know if she's going to walk out of our ceremony, she still keeps giving us the 'well it should be ok' but won't commit to anything

meagandal

It feels good to vent Even better to have people to commiserate with.  Not that I wish the heartache of the doubts I'm secretly having on anyone, but when you say it (or type it) it helps to work through some of it, and realize that its all fixable because the love it there, I just have to hope he find the motivation to do the work he needs to do, while I find the patience to help him and wait for it to all come together.

I feel like I can't talk to my mom about it too much because she's starting to question whether or not we should be getting married too.  You know how when something blows so much you need to vent but the person on the other end of the venting hates when you get past it because you pounded the terrible during your venting into their head about whatever the problem was that they can't move on even once you have-I don't want that to happen.

</div><div>I'm frustrated about a lot of things but the thing that gets me the most is that I have to use one week of my vacation time to go back to Rome to go to court for my daughter. My x husband is a major db and is refusing to follow custody orders so I have to use my precious vacation time that I could have used during the summer to spend time with my daughter in order to go listen to him lie and whine like a baby to the judge. He makes me so mad. Then I will have to return to Rome to lead students on an architecture tour in May. You'd think I 'd be excited about it. I'm not. I then have to use another weeks vacation time to do that. I am fed up with constantly having to use my vacation time for silly things when all I want to do is relax and be able to spend some quality time with my daughter!!!! I hope the judge gives my x a swift kick in the rear end and makes him pay me for damages because it is no cake walk to spend time in Rome for a week. I can't stand it there anymore. I've had enough of it. And I've had enough of him playing his games and trying to pretend like he's this amazing father when he's a complete jerk. I mean, he's teaching my daughter how to bring him coffee in bed?! UGH!!!!

I found out I owe PA nearly $1,000 in state taxes for 2009 & 2010... when I didn't even live in PA those years.  So that's been fun trying to deal with/finding W2's & leases and stuff this morning to prove my residency.  Ugh

I'm not having as many personal issues... but the wedding stuff is driving me nuts!!!! I mean, I know I'll be so glad I toughed this out in the end, but somedays I just wish the wedding was tomorrow so we could just enjoy it and get on to the HM.

I STILL can't find a DJ!!!  Either, people ignore me even though I'm waving money at them, or they pester me until I can't stand it. I was woken up two seperate times this morning by two different DJs calling me to "chat". I've already checked their prices. They're too expensive.

*sigh*

I'm really frustrated because I feel like the person who makes our schedules at work (basically the office admin) wants to punish us whenever we take a vacation. I got back from my first vacation in a year yesterday (and the only one I've taken at this job, besides having 3 days off for Christmas) and I saw that my schedule this week had me working eight days in a row!! Thursdays and Fridays are my usual days off, but she had me coming in yesterday through next Wednesday. If this were holiday time I would understand, but we are actually OVERstaffed this week. I asked her if she needs me tomorrow and she said, "Well, since you weren't here on Monday or Tuesday (i.e. during my so-called vacation) I assumed you'd be coming in today and tomorrow." Uh, why? So then I said, "Well, I'd rather not work eight days in a row unless you need me, but I know we have a lot of people in this week (seriously, there's not enough desks for everyone!)" Then she said, "Fine," rather angrily and walked away. So I feel like she's mad at me now and I'm so annoyed. You shouldn't have to work on your weekend to make up your vacation days! That totally defeats the purpose of a vacation!

I'm actually feeling pretty great today.
I do however wish that wedding planning would just go away, lol. It does irritate me when FMIL starts talking about the wedding. She is a cake decorator and will be making our cake. Which is great, but she's checking with me about all the details NOW. FI told her to tone it down though, and I think last time we got it nailed down enough that she won't bother me about it anymore for a while!

On the relationship front, I've decided that I need to stand up for myself more. It usually happens that I work around FI's schedule to see him, so I end up being in a bad mood because I should be in bed by the time he's done with everything. I've decided to use  "Sorry dear, that doesn't work for me," and be okay with it." I don't like being in a bad mood because then we end up fighting instead of having couple time, so it's just not worth it.

I'm annoyed at my mother who feels I should be up everyone's asses about getting their BM dresses ordered.  I told her that I think as long as they're ordered by the first weekend in March that it should be fine in case anything horrible with the dresses happens.  With that said I apparently should still tell them right away.  I will get to it but I don't think it's my job to sit there and constantly remind them.  They are "adults", they can handle it.  

Also, I have a crapton to get done at work today so that's making me crazy stressed.  I probably should get off the boards for awhile

Came home to frozen pipes. Again (same thing happened last week after zumba)
No shower for me this morning.

I want our new house NOW.  We were supposed to have had it done so we wouldn't spend another winter in this old house, but plans fell through.  I wish FI was better at not procrastinating on important things.

My other vent, I think I'm high.  Woke up with the start of a migraine so I took 2 excedrin migraine.  I'm kinda caffeine sensitive, and 2 @65mg has made me kinda loopy!  I'm having a hard time sitting still in this chair that spins and has wheels.

This made me laugh out loud, I'm picturing someone sitting in their office spinning around and bouncing off the walls!!  Thanks, I needed that laugh today :-)
Hope your migraine went away!

FI exploded at me this morning and I'm not 100% sure why.  Also, my dog needs to go back to the vet because he's got a big seeping bloody spot on his side.  All in all, today has been super sucky.

I gotta say, girls, I am thrilled to see so many other people have FI's who are terrible with money. I'm kinda upset that mine hasn't worked very much in the past 6 months or so. He had a job doing HVAC, but they laid him off and then went under. So he was working at his friend's auto shop. They got slow and laid him off too. Now, a guy he used to do HVAC with has his own company starting back up and asked my Fi to work with him again, but that is also day to day since things are slow for him too. Because of this, I have very little money because FI can't give me his part.

I also am super mad at a friend of mine. I got him a job with me part time and now he acts like he is God's gift to the place. He was always a BS'er but he is getting realllly bad with it. He bossed me around all day yesterday and told me all this stuff about how great he is and how he tells our bosses how to do things. I just wanted to look right at him and say "No you didn't." When I tell my boss the things he says, my boss laughs and says these things never happend. So my friend is just full of sh*t and is making things up, which gets very old. Ugh!
