And because it deserves a post of its own, I'm glad to hear the longterm plan for Grace, Kat. I know it must be frustrating to you because I'm sure everybody doesn't quite understand what her care at home means. But know we all support you in the process!
Plus bonus points for use of the word 'mosey'.

Thanks, Liese. Frustrating might be the wrong word. Some people here find it ludicrous that she isn't already home. And you know what, we made the best choice we could given what we had to work with. Enh. People need to Get Over It.

I have no idea how my mother hasn't killed my father.

Just remember, sara, orange jumpsuits with side slash pockets are not a good look on anyone.

I finish doing the dishes and cleaning the counter. I load more soda into the fridge. I turn off the light. I turn around. He's in there, taken a soda without replacing it, left hummus and crumbs and a gummy knife on the counter despite me drilling into them you cannot do that here because of roaches and left the light on. And there is a fucking trail of peanuts across my livingroom.

And he won't fucking go to bed.

ANDdddd that would be the point that I drop the F-bomb on the parents as in "What the F is wrong with you? clean up your F'in mess, GD it! Honestly, do you have NO respect for me and the requests I make?" And then mac would cry and tell me I was being mean to grandad and grandad would pout and I'd make big WHATEVER faces at both of them. - ahhh Thanksgiving memories.

I've already done that. Several times already. Unfortunately, he's on the phone with my brother which means doing it at the moment is a no go. He's just completely deliberately unawares.
And I want a drink.
I'm just tired.

pick up the peanuts and throw them at him. OR, pour yourself a drink and repeat to yourself "when he's in the home, there will be people to deal with him." My brother and I like that one.
