Belated happy birthdayThank you @The Crofted Crest. My birthday got worse when I then got a text from one sister the whole content of which was to complain about her lot in life and to tell me that her card would be late (just like the card from my parents). Then I remembered I had had a nice day up to that point and there is a good reason I live a 100 miles away from any of them.
Would be nice to spend one birthday not in tears because of my dysfunctional family.
I remember a discussion very similar to that with my then girlfriend and stepdaughter who were having a meal with me and who were wearing summer outfits but complaining that the room was cold. I was wearing shorts and t-shirt and felt very warm, close to being uncomfortably warm. I told them that yes, they could have the heating on, but only if they had no objection to me spending the rest of the evening naked and cooling myself down with wet flannels ...Why the f**key is the heating on when I get home?
It's almost 20 degrees outside, and about 90 inside. You're 18 not 80..If you're cold put a f**k ing jumper on.
I may actually have said this.....
