Guest Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Okay, make me feel better by sharing the stress you're under this week. I'm so overwhelmed that I am having panic attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANA-kin Skywalker Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 My wife is making whoopee pies right now and I'm being cursed at and being called "useless" for being on my iPad. I guess I deserve it, but you should talk to her instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 When I first started reading your post, I thought this was a Newlywed Game version of you saying your wife is having an affair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashmere Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 My Christmas stress was low this year, but my mom's stress level is so high that I'm getting back splash from that. I'm glad I've been around to help with a few things to ease it a bit for her. Is yours work related or just straight Christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Both and more. Christmas is stressful because it's almost all on me, because we have a new baby and my wife can't do things. I also have to take care of said baby in the evenings, after having sole care of my two year old son from the moment I get home from work until he goes to bed at 8. So sometime in there I've had to do all the shopping, wrapping, etc.And my wife is a perfectionist about everything and didn't really trust me to do the shopping. And my job is awful and I'm applying for new jobs all the time, which is additional stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Congrats, man. Your kids want to be just like you! Seriously, that sucks. I'm going to my mother-in-law's house in 20 minutes. Better be alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashmere Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Sounds rough. Hopefully your life settles a bit soon. Hang in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeygirl Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Jacob, this is the best time EVAR to drink. I have to do the LAST of my split shifts today-traffic for the South Sound and Portland and ain't NOBODY on the damn roads. I have Fireball and I'm basically getting paid to drink. I was told about my 2nd ex-husband's new girlfriend and I wish I didn't know. This has brought up all sorts of ****ing anxiety and I feel like I have no control over it. This relationship also fell apart the last 2 Christmases so there's THAT. AND I've gotten so little sleep lately, I feel like Doc Brown in Back to the Future. I've eaten far too much chocolate and my mouth feels like it needs to be sandblasted. AND THE CHRISTMAS MAGGOTS are just IN MY WAY EVERYWHERE and I wish they would all be as miserable as I feel right now and want them to die.

The Kurgan Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 All of the needy and neurotic people in my life are a handful at the best of times, but it gets absolutely stupid at Christmas. Try being reminded by your wife, while making whoopie pies late on x-mas eve, that you forgot to buy something for your mother, who definately belongs in a "Meet the Fockers" type of film and you'll fast understand precisely what Christmas stress really means. Plus, x-mas day is the only extra day off I'm getting since boxing day and new years are on weekends this year. <sigh> I'll rest when I'm dead, I guess.

Ms. Spam Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I posted about my stress in the something off thread. My Mom and sister have been stressing me if only because I feel guilty I am not closer to help but then I realize I'd just want to stab them both for being ***holes who created their own problems. No one raised me and everything I have I earned. But it is my job as the responsible one to help them pick up the pieces of crappy decisions they made. What's worse is I hit a curb hard with my car being distracted by nekkid people in Austin and it cost 1900 to fix it and I had to put 700 bucks in my Mom's overdrafted account to keep the lights on where they live because they bought a 107$ Prime Rib Roast from god knows where and it sucked so they fed it to the chickens. Seriously. I wanna know why you buy an extremely good cut of meat at the butchers and then overcook it on PURPOSE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalcedony Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I got to spend Christmas at home, with my roommate and the neighbors, who were all drunk, very loud, and stupid. I can't deal with that, so I retreated to my room most of the night. The last three or four Christmases have been really awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
