I am feeling so overwhelmed today.
Carmen and Louis are both coughing and wheezing like 80 year old smokers
I need a little me time before I crack
I had a facial scheduled today but Sean got a job interview and now I can't go
I know the interview is very important for our family right now but I am so disappointed
.And its like everything I try to do to feel better keeps getting interrupted
I tried reading a book, reading my blogs and blogging and I cannot go 3 minutes without interruption
Its exhausting
And I am not sleeping well
Yesterday Carmen had her follow up appointment and MIL insisted that she stay with Louis so that Sean could go with me. She got here 5 minutes before I had to be at my Dr app. That drives me insane. And then when we got home she was cleaning the kids room. But not just putting toys away (because that was already done) She was washing clothes and cleaning the floor . I HATE that. She makes me feel just like my mom used to when I was a kid and it wasn't exactly how she wanted it. She would be telling me how lazy and horrible I was.
MIL likes to make little comments. "that needs to be done EVERY DAY" "that will trigger an asthma attack" "Don't let her do that it will trigger an attack" And on and on.
I am barely hanging on right now and I cannot deal with that
I need some hugs and alone time. And a massage.
Maybe your MIL was bored. One time a few years ago, I was babysitting and I was so bored and actually felt like doing the people's dishes. I didn't only because I didn't know where everything was.
ReplyDeleteI am sure she didn't think about it making you feel bad. She probably thought she was doing you a favor.
Is her name Marie? Cause she sounds like the mother from Everybody Loves Raymond.
Hugs for you!
LOL Marie. Good one. I don't think she was bored. And I know she didn't do it to be mean. But it brings up old feelings and then when she incessantly tries you "educate" everyone. And on top of that I am so stressed out I am having a fibromyalgia flare up
DeleteYour mother in law isn't a healthy person for you to be around. It's not good for you. I don't know how to say it any better than that.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get some time to yourself.
I know. I agree pretty much. Just because I almost always come away upset. But she is a very good grandmother and the kids love her so much. I am hoping today that I will get to have my facial and girl time.
