FMEE asked 12/10/2009:
Today is the day that it hit me again. My name is FMEE because all I can say is F*** ME.
It is the holidays and I am starting to think again. This is a bad thing for me. All I want this holiday season is it to be quiet, no yelling or screaming. That goes for the kids as well as the adults. I can see it clear as day already. Kid number 2 who is 18 is not going to get what she wanted because it is not a new car and not what she got even though it is what she picked out not toll us to buy but what she bought. Then the yelling about this is going to get kid number 1 who is also 18 all bent and start more yelling, this is going to piss of the wife and get kids 3 who is 10, kid 4 who is 8 and kid 5 who is 5 asking questions they should not be asking. Leaving me to get the small ones out of the line of fire and that is going to get them mad getting the wife even more pissed and screaming at me to just leave everyone alone. Which I will do because I do not want the yelling, then she will pick fights with kid number 1 and 2 till we leave to go to the in-laws house. When the kids start saying what mommy did to get all of them in a bad mood leaving out the thing that started it in the first place getting the in-laws pissed and picking fights with the wife and giving me the why did you let this happen again. To add to this the wife is still texting and I am just waiting for all this to happen so I can take the young ones and leave over the holiday vacation. Because this is going to be the last time I blamed for everything!!!!
So to all of you and all of your families; here is to another happy holiday season.

I take it your not at all aware of the laws of attraction? Maybe the best gift some1 could give you is the book called “The Secret” which ya I know it probably sounds like I’m full of crap, huh? What do you have to lose at this point. In your mind your Christmas is already shot to hell so what if this book gave you a different mind set that changed everything? You are on this site to ask questions and get feedback. Have you ever noticed people that think about what they dont want all the time and wonder why they keep getting it? Maybe if they were to think about what they do want they might actually get it… Its all in our minds. Just a thought

I feel for you , you have a dilema , the brat being the dilema , ? you need your wife in agreement on what should be done I guess , a united front . too bad you can’t get the one causing the trouble to go somewhere else for the holidays …
I agree Christmas is for the little ones , to see the innocent joy on their faces …

Wilber horse how do you tell a 10, 8, and 5 year old that the holiday is canceled because your older sister is a brat? The Norman Rockwell Christmas is the fantasy that drives parents and grand parents crazy. One period trapped in time. The innocents of the period are long gone and people still use the pictures painted then to set the standard of today. I grew up with the same pictures in my mind and I loved all the holidays because I had 2 older siblings that new the big picture. I was the youngest by a long shot 11 years and they played with me not used me as a measuring stick. I try my best but it has been slowly turning into another day, not the day it should be for the young ones.

Now that the kids are getting older this is what I see being the next level. Last year when the older kids were 17 the both thought they were getting cars. HA HA HA HA they were told they were not and the yelling started because kid number 2 only wanted a brand new car. When given presents that were not a new car she made the big seen started to get in the young ones face being mean and hurtful. Then going to the in-laws and getting my father in-law all bent because my wife stood her ground and said grow up you spoiled brat. “The wife has to understand it is not easy being a child today†His quotes not mine. So this is a slow build up of years of problems that has been turned into another holiday tradition. Just bigger and better every year.
