Going to the doctor about my cough and sinus congestion
I hate going to the doctor, I'm always afraid it's going to be bad news
Kevin and Connor (my brothers) seem to have caught the virus from me. I was told that it's a viral respiratory infection. They don't have it as bad as I do though. I'm really scared it's going to turn into pneumonia or bronchitis

Can't stand hearing my mom brag to our relatives about how intelligent and successful my brother is. It makes me cringe and if my brother was here he'd be pissed off. I wish she'd stop talking so much about our lives to other people altogether. The worst is that she doesn't think it comes off as braging... And my mom is the type of person who doesn't know how to take criticism at all.
Oh I'm sorry that happened, Cindy. I'm sure it wasn't from a bad place, and she feels guilty about lying too but didn't want to hurt your feelings. I think communication is the best tool and perhaps having a gentle talk with her about it wouldn't hurt- that you understand if she is unable to make commitments sometimes, and she could be comfortable being honest with you. And you seem like the coolest mom and grandma (weird saying that- you're so young!)- if you were mine, I'd feel comfortable telling you anything.
aww, that's disappointing when you get geared up like that and someone doesn't show. it sounds like you're right about the drive time. i think it was one of those things where she knew it wasn't going to work out but she hated to disappoint you and took a bit of the easy way out. like coastie says, maybe gently let her know there might be times when she'll have to tell you something you don't want to hear (like not going to Easter) but you'd rather hear it honestly and you might be disappointed at first but you'll be thankful ahe felt like she could be honest.
My dad's really depressed, and I resent my mother and her family.
Life sucks.
I'm so sorry, Chanty
I would never do something like that to my mom. I always try to make it show how much I love and appreciate her.
I'm sure your daughter wasn't thinking in the moment, I'm sure she wasn't trying outwardly to hurt your feelings. But that's a hard thing to have happen when you already went through the trouble of getting everything ready
It always sucks when people aren't honest with us, especially family members.
Do you think you could talk to her about it?
In the meantime, an idea I had about all the leftover food you prepared, could you bring it to a homeless shelter or a soup kitchen? Or invite a bunch of neighbors over for dinner? That way you're not wasting the food and you're doing good for others at the same time

My mom does this. I do volunteer work at the museum and such, but she calls it a "job." So she is telling everyone I have a job when I don't even have a job. So everyone asks me how my job is going, and it's like... what job? I tell them "it's just volunteer work," and they ask why my mom said it's a job. She's now telling everyone I'm waiting for a job up in LA to call me about whether or not I got it. I don't appreciate it because she takes all the credit for how I got to this point in my life when she didn't even do shit.
Woops, I made a typo in the post. People ask her why she said it's a job, not a "joke" (lmao)
I volunteer at a historical museum as their webmaster. There's only so much I can do to the site though without revamping the entire thing: http://whittiermuseum.org/
God damned stupid-a$$ motherfucking sonofabitch HYPOCHONDRIA and OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER!!!
Why does every little thing that goes on with my body have to scare me?? My anxiety needs to go to hell and take the hypochondria and OCD with it. UGH!

Broke up with my boyfriend because he always ignored me & would rather go to events with his friends than see me or take me anywhere. He starts throwing my Bipolar disorder up in my face saying I have too much time on my & need a life. Then he gets on Facebook & posts an awful status about me that his stupid family & friends start liking. A friend of mine commented on it to defend me & they started fighting so now its gonna get physical they said. I jumped in & said not if I finish him off first so yeah... Just a huge brawl. Now I have everyone telling me to never fall in love or date again cause it always ends in fights or the cops being called.
Sometimes I think why don't I just never breathe again? Would that be the answer to it all? -.-
But how friggen' hard is it to see your girlfriend & just let her know you love her!? That's all I ever wanted for Christ Sakes!!!!!!
Dating sucks. I'm just learning the ropes with it myself.
This guy sounds like a jerk. He has no right to comment about your Bipolar disorder like that. And posting a status about you was wrong. He seems like he's just looking for drama and attention. I'm sorry all this happened
But it doesn't mean you should never date again. It takes years and probably hundreds of tries to find a relationship that fits.
And think about it this way: if he's going through all this trouble now to treat you like crap, he didn't deserve you in the first place.
