Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Are you sure you haven’t visited my MIL lately ?
I’m tired of her complaining about my kids generation to us . I tell her times have changed , then she always says “ Well I don’t like it “. I normally say ,” well we can’t stop it .”
Next time she says it , I’m telling her “ Nobody asked you “. I’ve tried being nice but I’m done listening to it , and my tongue bleeding .
Like seriously why is it bothering people so much, times change things change it's a fact of life.
I have to hear it constantly.
Most of the time I ask them if they know how to read a sun dial
I'm sure this might ruffle some feathers out there. Because I guess I'm not the norm since I have yet to talk to anyone my age for more than 5 minutes that's hasn't brought this subject up. Just really needed to vent it out!!!
Nacy,
Not strange at all. There is this concept of U curve measuring happiness which is high for children then decreases especially in 40s and then goes up in 50-60s.
Maybe we just learn to respect ourselves more, have less problems, or handle them better. Maybe we just simply decided to be happy no matter what.

It's like things just don't bother me anymore, I don't care who likes me who doesn't, I see what my family is. I go to moms, if she is grumpy, I leave and leave it there.
I guess after years of caregiving, and on and off depression this is a normal experience. Maybe this is what normal people feel like?
Also I read after getting out of an abusive controlling relationship you seem a little crazy to others. Like if you could eat ice cream, you go to the store and by a whole cart of ice cream.
Must be something like that happening to me.
Great Big Warm Hug!!
Wishing only the best for you and DH. Thank you for letting us know.
“The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you."
so sorry to hear that. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I get it . I won’t drive through Brooklyn or Queens anymore . They drive crazy there in general .
I think it makes them worse actually gives them a whole who cares additude and not respecting that driving is a privilege.
Being dyslexic, I know my limitations on driving, its others that don't get it ,when they don't understand why I won't drive though Albany. They think I'm being a princess or something.
Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind getting the form filled out . But ……. I think if a family member raises a concern about an 87 year old , DMV should test them .
