Yesterday was my daughter's 4th birthday. I feel terrible because I yelled at her and sent her to her room, ended up basically dragging her there when she refused to go. She kept throwing fits. Screaming, kicking and basically acting like an overexcited, too much sugar eating four year old. 'sigh' Just another proud moment in my quest for the mother of the year award. Not!

Hell to the yes, my mom just offered to take DS3 and DD1 for DH's entire birthday weekend! We desperately need a break.

I commented yesterday about only seeing my mom once in 16 years. Yeah, there's totally a reason. She's a TERRIBLE parent. Awful. She never should have had children and she's had 3. She's a drunk (alcoholics go to meetings, hah) and just a selfish person. The birthday card I just got from her? (The first in years, btw). It said "Karaoke Night! - I'd sing a song for you for your birthday".. (open card), "But I'm going to need a few drinks first.". I. shit. you. not.

If DH asks me what I want for my birthday (in dec), I'm seriously considering telling him "A day all by myself, and some money to spend". I need a break from DH and DS!

After spending hours and hours carefully making a very healthy, very tasty, and very prettily decorated carrot cake for our son's 1st birthday, my jerk of a boyfriend just told me that he didn't think the work-to-output ratio was compatible. Translation, it wasn't worth the trouble. It's bad enough that he told that crap to my mother yesterday, but to then have the audacity to say it to my face...well, he's lucky I didn't chew him to bits. And the only reason he feels that way is because I made him help me with the dishes afterwards. He's a self absorbed POS sometimes.

I told my mom that I was pregnant on my birthday since we don't see her all that often. Her response? "Thank you for finally making your birthday special for me." Um, you're welcome?

My best friends boyfriend arranged for me to visit for her birthday as a surprise. We lived with her for three years and she's was one of my best friends. I had a baby 15 months ago. Turns out I didn't matter as much to her. I felt like she wanted me to leave from the moment I got there. I spent most of the time alone with my little girl. I haven't felt this sad since before I had my daughter. Came home to find my boyfriend is mad at me and not talking to me, but I don't know what I've done, as usual. I think I must either be a horrible person or be really bad at choosing people to be close to

I feel disgusting. I got the Birthday Cake Remix from Coldstone Creamery two nights in a row. It is delicious, but has sooo many calories. At least I only got a small?

Again, your sisters did not send your children birthday cards, however we got an invitation to her daughter's birthday. Please say something or I will.

I don't like the recent trend of not opening birthday presents at a child's birthday party. If my child is invited to your child's birthday party and I take the time to shop for a gift then I would like to your child to open it and say "thank you".
