So, did you wake up in time? What do you think of the new cleaning lady?
Haha I woke up super early bc I was anxious. She was much nicer than our initial meet and greet and she did a very good job.So, did you wake up in time? What do you think of the new cleaning lady?
Thanks calliecake!Hi Pinto Bean, I'm just checking in to see if you are doing ok. Sending hugs, love and dust your way.
Thanks calliecake!
It's going to be tough. The holidays plus my birthday in January. Being a January baby, oftentimes the weather would prevent any get togethers so it often would just be me and Michael on my birthday.
Yup it's January 9. Surprisingly, a lot of friends have birthdays or family members with birthdays around that time lolol. I was a week late and a surprise so I've surmised that I'm an April Fool's joke gone wrong. HahahahhahahahaaI hope it's not early January, at least! Coming right after Christmas would mean your birthday would be virtually ignored.

Thank you for the gentle hugs. They truly mean a lot. Just knowing you're here is comforting. It's the worst feeling having parents 15 minutes away that are incapable of being supportive.Oh Pinto Bean, (((gentle hugs))). I don't even know how to respond other than to tell you how sorry I am. Is there anything I can do to help you?
Unfortunately @mochiko42 comment is true.
Big hug, PB. Some family members are oak trees, who provide shelter and support. Others are more like stinging nettles or poison ivy (i.e. best kept at a safe distance)...
PB, please stop being a doormat for your parents. From the picture you paint, nothing you say or do will stop you from being the object of unjustified criticism especially from the woman who birthed you. She is not a mother. The harder you try to gain approval, the more she will hurt you. The issue is hers not yours. I know how hurtful it is to have parents who are not there for you, who disappoint at every turn and I can say from experience, that the sooner you develop a thick skin or cut ties, the better off you will be. You don't need them, you just think you do. The moment you walk away and she realizes she has no power over you, she'll begin to grovel just to get you back so she can hurt you again. She needs professional counseling. Hugs.
... what I should cut..? ... The cellphone plan I added dad too?
