Unfiltered Insanity

Kat’s the kewlest American gal I know in the UK. You should read her. I do! She hosts this Dear So and So shindig and it rocks! So go grab the button and join in!

Dear MIL:

I thought I’d give you this attention you’re seeking and write you a nice little letter here on my very public blog, so that you receive the attention this “deserves.” Shit or get off the pot. I’m not even kidding. You’re 53 years old and it’s about time you grew up. I wish I could get all worked up every time you swallow a handful of pills, but you burned that bridge the 4th or 5th time you did this. This is like the 9th or 10th. Over it. Our kids deserve to have a grandparent who doesn’t do this and they will not be exposed to you if you’re going to continue this. It’s not that we don’t love you, we do, but you need to pull yourself together already! It’s time to learn to take care of yourself. Stop being a victim and be a survivor already. People do it every day! And victim of what exactly? Life not being fair?! Your 3-yo granddaughter says that to me and my answer to you is the same as my answer to her: “Life’s not fair. Sometimes you have to do things that you don’t enjoy. In order to have the freedom to do the things you DO enjoy, you have to do things you DON’T enjoy too.” (Like hold down a job) So quit yer bitchin’ already.

Your DIL, Lisa

This is the only letter I’m writing today. I’m so frustrated with this whole MIL thing, I can’t remember anything else that pissed me off this week.

Go to Kat’s!
