my rant: FAMILY

why do my famiy think i have time to listen and fix all of their problems, because i am unemployed and sitting at home doing nothing but playing on EONS with you guys. do i look like Dr.PHIL, DEAR ABBY, JERRY SPRINGER, OR MONTEL, maybe MAURY.

THURSDAY was-call-viv-and-unload-all-our- problems-because she isn't doing anything. it started at 09:00am to 2100pm.
from the baby's temp, antibiotic and why her fever is not going down...try giving the medication as prescribed. it went downhill from there, sister moving back to old stomping grounds to my mother's dismay, i had to hear about that for an hour, "and i hope she doesn't ask me for any money". then i heard from one of my daughters about the GOV'MINT job and its annual contract and they don't have enough money, "but we need you to stay during the transition time, but we can't promise you a job due to the budget, can you not take any other job offers until we are sure we are not going to offer you a job due to the budget",(@#$@#$%*%$#*@,my daughters words not mine). grandson have baby mamma drama, as told to me by my son via his ex-@#$%$#@** wife, my words not his. it goes on but i can't type it all, but you get the gist.
DON'T SOMETIMES YOU HATE(maybe hate is a strong word, i should use dislike) SOME MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY???
WORK IT OUT, IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT ADVICE I GIVE YOU, YOU ARE GOING TO DO WHAT YOU WANT ANYWAYS. YOU JUST WANTED TO SPOIL MY PEACE AND WELL BEING. tomorrow i will be checking my caller's ID, all the way up to the weekend.

These folks don't want advice.

They want a sounding board.

They need a SCREAMING ROOM.

My suggestion: keep doing what you doing. Every so often, utter something assent-like into the phone, and at the end of the conversation, say, well, good luck, honey. This works for me. I don't clutter my mind with their inane problems, and they get the outlet they need.

BTW-- you are not 'unemployed.' You are doing your thing.

Girl Viv I know what you mean.....................
I called my brother to tell him something, and he unloaded all his problems on me. I was like what the...............
Then, my girlfriend called me to tell me about her daughter, and her boyfriend, and oh yeah, can I borrow $100.00 dollars...................

So yes Viv I can relate. That is why I have called ID, because sometimes when I do not feel like answering the phone and I see their number. I pretend I am not even home..............
