I really hope everything works out for you hun!I used to go visit the local elderly couples and I love to hear their stories about when they were growing up.
Thanks everyone. Just for the record, this will be the only time I share this much personal info.
I was fine with it last night because, you know, we've always been there to support HER. I thought about it more and more and started to think about US. Then I got mad. All that woman has put us through and I feel like she used us and pooed on us in the end. Like I said, we asked her from the time she came if she really wanted to come back, first and then if she wanted to stay with us. She had every option to say she wanted to go to a nursing home or stay in the home since June/July 2012.
What bothers me is how nonchalant she is over it all. Like, every thing's all fine and dandy and life is just grand. Her problem is she's lazy and wants to be waited on and catered to. I can't do it. She's loosing her memory, too. I fell bad for her because no one wants her - not even the friend that caused all of this. Not her sister, not her nephews... Well, they do if she has money they can sponge off her. But, then again, I honestly feel she brought it all on herself seeing how she treated us. All she does is whine about how she can't do anything for herself, the divorce is taking to long and how her husband put her in debt. She whines because I won't let her have unhealthy foods because she's not supposed to have them. Here's an example. Last Christmas I made over 15 dozen cookies. I couldn't get her to eat real food and she ate cookies all day long for a week. This year my husband and I were given cookies for a Christmas present and I thought for sure she'd stay away from them because they were a present. No... She can't get up to go to the bathroom, but she could get up and eat all of our present! She doesn't like eating real food. If I put a meal in front of her, she eats maybe 1 1/2c of food total at supper. She can eat 2-3x that at Chinese or any other restaurant. If I put 5 bags of chips in front of her, a bag of chocolates, a dozen cookies, a piece of cake and 2 cupcakes, she'd it it all in less than 6hrs.
We are always financially strapped, so this should be nothing new to me. Just the thought of it all on us by ourselves is driving me insane. When I say we can't do it on our own, I mean it. I can't take on a new roommate. This place actually isn't a 4 bedroom. It's 3 bedrooms with a sun room and a mudroom. My son's room is the mudroom. The sun room has no heat so no one is there. Again, I sacrificed my child's comfort for her.
You guys are right. I would be much happier without her here. I honestly can not stand being around her and I try my hardest to stay away from my own home. The house smells so bad because of her... It would be nice to have my son in an actual room, too. Just, I do not want to move if we do not have to. I don't have it in me to sell my flock. We have so much crap and I actually hyperventilate just thinking about it. I can not do another move. I am sick of moving.
As for the chicks, some are coming around and some are not. I have one still really gasping and they are the younger ones and they usually do not make it. The older ones are showing improvement. The fresh batch of chicks that just hatched Friday are all healthy so far.
Oh, & thanks for inviting me to the "picnic", biaches! No one tells me anything. I live too far up in the tundra, I suppose. *sigh* Commence stalking.... Picnic crashing sequence initiated. Bwuhahahahahaha!! *maniacal laughter & thumb twiddling*
