i feel so helpless and trapped :I cant wait to push these feelings back down Just remember, Chu. It isn't forever. When you become the world's most famous chemist, the world will see. i dont really care about the world, i just want to make enough money to move out then my family will see how much i dont visit lol :x My mother wonders why every time I'm gone from home for a while, I don't call her or anything. Gee, why could that be... my mom knows why, she shares my view about the current events in my house lol its just annoying how long i have left in school and how long i have to deal with my sisters piece of ***bf Oh, I guess I can't sympathize that much, I just want to move out cuz my mother and her husband is just too much derp to handle.

Living with other people will likely always be difficult. Don't just assume everything will get better once yo move out, because assuming you're going to have roommates, they can be just as HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE.

Valefor.Slipispsycho said: »So I'm not the only one?
My day was really stressful. For some reason my son had to meltdown or scream about everything. Everything was "no" and he wanted to play with all the stuff he's not supposed to. And it got even worse when he got to Skype with his mom (that whole "testing limits when both parents are present" thing).
My nerves feel like they're just completely shot, which is something that almost never happens. I'm actually kind of looking forward to work in the morning. :/ I don't have work, or any escape really.. and I'm curious when this part of my life is going to be over. My son wasn't exactly planned, I was barely an adult (in age only) myself when he was born.. Thanks to my father (and how he abandoned me for partying) I pretty much was never going to be the father that just walked away, even if he wasn't ready..
I thought the first 4-5 years were hard/difficult.. Now that he's 7 it's like he put on the afterburners and is pushing as hard as he can just to drive me nuts.
The only thing I know for sure, is something is going to break pretty soon.. If it isn't this phase, then it will be me. I've kind of been curious to ask for a while as to why you don't work. (I just haven't, because I figure that's kind of your own business.)
I can imagine that I'd be a lot more stressed if I didn't work, too. I guess in a way it's like you said, a sort of escape. It's not a better alternative to home and time with my son, but it's a different pace and a different set of responsibilities to focus on.
I'm trying to enjoy the home stress while I can, since after next Sunday, I'll only get to see my son on holidays and my one weekend off a month (assuming I can afford the trips). I have no problem telling why I don't work.. It's not like I haven't tried my damn *** off to get a job.. I was even on probation for a year and you can't just ~not~ try..
No one wants to hire me, simple as that. I've put in applications and tried to get a job at every conceivable place.. Only places I didn't apply for were places I'm not qualified for or places too far away for me to be able to get to on a daily basis.
The only jobs I've ever had, were jobs where I already had a family working there and they basically bugged the hiring manager until they said 'Fine!'.
There's always just someone with a more desirable application than me.. I don't hold it against them, they have to go with what's in front of them.
Me and my wife now have pretty much reversed roles.. She works and I do the 'womenly' things like cook and clean. Does bug me, almost constantly, but there's not really much I can do about it.. Everyone's constantly trying to hammer it in my head (whether on purpose or not) that men work and women don't and I'm not a man if I can't provide for my family..

I've been here too long! I'm afraid it's contagious. (Both my mother and her husband have mental disabilities, so they do stupid stuff all the time)

Went to the gas station, good decision. Got Pretzel M&Ms, some Nacho Cheese Chips, and some pop, only spent like $9. I hate the ~1.5M walk both ways

Everyone's constantly trying to hammer it in my head (whether on purpose or not) that men work and women don't and I'm not a man if I can't provide for my family.. I thought it was something like that... I remembered bits and pieces from your other posts but I wasn't positive if that was it.
I certainly wouldn't be ashamed to have taken over your wife's old roll. It's not like you're unproductive while you're there.
Have you considered any sort of way to go into business for yourself, even if it's something unofficial? It's something I've considered doing on the side to bring in extra money, but I'm just not "great" at anything and can't really motivate myself for it.
You seem like a more motivated person than I am, so it seems like something you could do. Just depends on what you're good at, what you like to do, and what sort of market there is where you live for it.
Like, around here, people pay good money for hand-made furniture. (Something I could do if I had the right tools. I got offered money by a girl I went to school with after she saw the bed I made for my son.) And I see the same people set up in a parking lot on my way to work on a regular basis lately, selling vegetables and stuff that they've grown. (Seems like something up your alley.)
I even have a friend who uses Facebook to run a storefront to sell her handmade jewelry.
I know I'm not really giving a ton of great ideas, just trying to be positive with the whole, "If they can't make room for you on their path, go carve your own" type deal. (Plus, it seems like it'd be more rewarding.)

After my last big post, this is the first thing I see!
And on this note, I am going to bed!

Drac posted that because of the word "pop", not because he objected to the stuff that was picked up to be eaten. (Maybe that too, but since he bolded "pop" I assumed that was the target of the image.)

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
