I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Having unbelievable dissertation stress-out. Been too ill to work today (not unusual for me, although that doesn't make it any less rubbish), and I'm cursing my crappy body and watching the days tick away till the deadline.
Anyone got any chocolate ice cream?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wonder if I'm too hard on my mother because I can never imagine her being motivated by guilt because of a dentist's appointment. She was just so glad when they gave me less potent drugs. I never got any different treatment afterwards, as far as I can remember.

I am having a furious with the government day and wonder why the hell I have to pay the same taxes as everybody else for less fucking rights.
I hate it so much and I'm so sorry.

From what I can see, we'll be paying between $2-4K and have to have a home study and the whole fucking thing. So my wife can parent her own fucking child. OMG I'm ready to beat someone.

Now tagless for your comfort.

When they're this small, I tend to remember all the times I said, "Screw it" and let them go to bed without brushing their teeth. Or how many times I've forgotten to give them their flouride suppliment. The docs are so good about not guilt tripping you--telling you that there are a lot of different factors that go into tooth decay.
Maybe your mom realized that she had done all she could and it wasn't worth beating herself up over it. I wish I could do that.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Glam, if you decide to, let me know. I'm not much good in a fight, but I'll do what I can.

Trust my rage

Your mom doesn't really sound like the guilt type, but I will say when I look back at my childhood (usually trying to remember how we did X in our family), I find that I can't really remember when I was Ellie's age (4).
we'll be paying between $2-4K and have to have a home study and the whole fucking thing.
I'm so sorry you have to do all this. It seems like such bullshit.

GC, that's a bunch of the highest crap.

I've gone as far back as toilet training with my memories, but I'm sure they're highly slanted.
My mother works her guilt now, through us. I don't think it was much of a factor when we were young.

Hang on, I'll bring my cricket bat. That is BEYOND offensive.
