My BFF is going through some similar stuff with her almost-17-year-old daughter. It's maddening and baffling to watch, and it's not even my kid. She won't do her schoolwork, won't do any chores, refuses to even consider learning to drive, has no interest in college or a job, and is planning to never move out so her mom can take care of her forever. I don't even know what this kid is going to do with herself.
See, and this is why I sometimes boggled at my parents when they acted like we had disappointed them. Like, all three of your children graduated college and are self-supporting, and are not on drugs or in jail. Isn't that a win??
Sounds like a win to me!
I have so many judgmental comments I won't make on facebook. A sample: 1. Maybe try not having a boyfriend for a minute after your disastrous second marriage? 2. You and your husband look weirdly alike. 3. Aren't you a little old for that?
You're welcome.
Holy crap -- my organization is going to have a new CEO as of next summer, and I just learned who in the newspaper....
OK, an all-staff email went out at 10 last night. Maybe not the best?
That doesn't seem like the best way for you to get that news.
Eta heh, I meant the paper but an after hours email blast also seems suboptimal.
Timelies all!
I'm still getting these random bug bites. Only on my arms/hands, and I don't know why. Also, very itchy.
Crazy way to find out! I'm guessing negotiations got leaked...
I'm coffeed and marketed, time to go buy a ton of Halloween candy.
I heard rumblings about something going on late in the afternoon, but didn't know it was this! (We have known the CEO was stepping down for a while.)
I have so much to do this weekend, and I cannot get moving! I knew I was off to a bad start at 7 this morning, when I could neither get all the way up nor go all the way back to sleep.
Halloween costumes: me as Fight Club Pam (from Archer) and Tim as Lana.
(My "costume" is the LAZIEST EVER. I admit it. But Tim nailed his.) And no one at the party we were at was familiar with Archer, so everyone asked me if I hurt my hands.
