Oh msbelle. That's tough. Are you thinking of moving?
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I will not move E again. He is happy.
Who knows what my reality will be in 5 more years? So while I assume I will move to wherever my heart desires, who knows? I'll be 48 and will have to consider what looking for a job in a new place would be like. It all just sucks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That does suck.

Me: was there an error? Is it in the recycle bin?
Customer: No. Get it back, I spent an hour and a half on it!
Me: When it closed, was there a message asking you to save the file?
Customer: Yeah, I said no.

That 's hard, msbelle. I'm sorry. I hope where you are gets better, somehow.

Oh honey. Hoping something finds you to make the next five years enjoyable for your not-mom parts.
I get the resentment. Sometimes their expectations/assumption line up directly contrary to my reality. I put it down to our places in life being so vastly different and they're used to me being a certain way I was...the first 20 years of my life. And bending into the wind means saying no, but that doesn't mean I don't resent being put in the position where I feel like a heel for it, even as I know it is ok, and they're not calling me a heel.
It's hard to be mad at 'em, I know where they are coming from, but at the same time, they're worse about thinking about where I'm coming from.
One of the ones that irks me now is when they wonder why things x,y and z on my list are still to be done. Well, the thing is I have to work, there's only one of me, and I prioritize. Not falling down or on fire? They do it all the time and have gotten worse since their retirement. Especially regarding travel. Oh, but we'll pay! Yeah, well that isn't the issue here, loves.

Man, I feel very lucky to have such easy parents that cause me so little trouble.

Because books.
Buffista Island looks better every day, and I'm actually not joking.
Maybe we could find a cheap castle?

Dracula's castle is for sale. Not particularly cheap, I don't think, though.
