My cake is cooling. I will frost it tomorrow before group. Got a late phone call from DH. He has no idea what they are doing. He might be home tomorrow or he might be home in four more weeks. SURPRISE!

I am up and on my way out the door. Two hours earlier than normal. My former officemate is on vacation this week. They haven't bothered to train a new back-up for her, so I am filling in. They have a summer intern filling in for me - kinda, all she's really doing is greeting visitors and answering the phone, I'm still doing the majority of my work. So, this week I'm the customer service person, ex admin, and part time purchasing clerk (that girl quit a few weeks ago and they haven't gotten it filled yet) plus, today is end of month. Which is why I'm going to work while it's still dark. Oy
Upside, I made a bet with a coworker yesterday which of us would be at work first. He's used to me getting in 7:30-& lol
Off to work today. After work I have a job interview. I was in one of my stores talking to the owner and when I was done, a woman came up and started chatting with me. She has an opening for an HR person and thinks I would be perfect. I hope it goes well - it would be a big financial boost. The position is all about training and that's my passion so it sounds perfect.

Sunny morning, stormy afternoon today. Heading to beach now. Mom and I (her idea) are cooking a turkey dinner for her companions 90th birthday today. BFF and three of her kids are coming too!
Thanks! I have not told anyone else about the interview yet, just you guys! Lol
If I get in my row boat now, I bet I can spoil this all for you by next month sometime...
Lol. I would love to see the look on everyone's face when you try to explain how you "know" me!!!
Considering I have an accent, it could be very funny. But first, I have to find the people who would know who I was talking about when I tried to tell them about you from here...

Okay, Chickie...You better stop in Indy on your trip!!!!

Congrats to EVERYONE! I have women's group this evening. Cake is almost done. I need to frost it.

How do you tell someone nicely they are a complete idiot and just made the biggest mistake of their life?

You say, "I'm going to say this as nicely as possible." Pause as if you are considering the phrasing. " You are a complete idiot and you just made the biggest mistake of your life."
Sometimes brutal honesty is the nicest way to go.

Normally I would do that but this is a message board and I am not allowed to call someone an idiot. Next suggestion?

That may or may not work. Maybe I should just keep my mouth shut.
Situation: 19 year old girl has a boyfriend with a four year old child. G/F hates child. His family hates g/f. His family is beyond highly dysfunctional. He still is trying to get out of the situation with the baby mama. Everyone hates everyone. But she loves guy. They ran off and got married. She wants a baby of her own. She is now refusing to have anything to do with his child.
So. Much. Wrong.

Well, two weeks ago she posted about how his family boycotted her wedding shower and then showed up at the end screaming that she was just another one of his wh0res. We all told her to postpone the wedding and sort out the issues. She didn't listen. I honestly don't think she'll listen now. Her new post is that she will have nothing to do with her SS. I seriously think she just wants us all to IVY her.
Should we all open a pool on how long it will take for the divorce to happen?

Keep your mouth shut. They already did it. If it was before & maybe could stop the madness I'd say tell her she is making a mistake. Nothing to be done about it now. You won't be able to talk her out of the baby if her heart is set on it. Just stand back & watch the train barrel out of control down the track.
Remember when it was you being told your marriage was a mistake?
Keep your mouth shut.

This is good, though it may not be true. He may be the type of guy that chooses his latest woman over his kid. If he's marrying a woman despite her obvious disdain for his child, he just might be that type of person. We hear stories all the time about father's choosing their new wives over their kids, letting the new wife alienate the child. The advice columns are full of them.

NJN accepted her SS with open arms. Big difference.

And that's not what I'm talking about.

Yes, I did accept my SS with open arms. And people weren't telling me that my marriage was a mistake because I hated kids and was marrying someone who already had one. People told me my marriage was a mistake because I had only known him 86 days when I said my vows. We are still together six years later. Going on seven. But again, a distortion of the facts is always good.
This woman hates kids period. Why would you marry someone who has a kid when you hate kids? Or want to have one by him? Makes no sense. And Lexxy, we did tell her before she got married. We warned her to postpone the wedding and think about it. She went ahead anyway.
Ironically her MIL posted and said there's only been one family fight and then as soon as her son married this girl she announced she no longer wanted to take care of his son. She has lost her freedom she says. So the MIL is watching the little boy whenever the DH is at work.

He may or may not choose the child but this might make her reconsider not having anything to do with the child. I feel sorry for the poor little guy. He deserves better and his new family will become another dysfunctional family. I hope his mommy loves him and gets full custody of him.
It's really sad because she told her b/f how much she loved kids until one week after they got married. Then she announced she hated kids and was only 19 and wanted freedom to go out and party. Someone told her she had done the bait and switch on him.
