can an unhappy married woman vent?

by sowhatnow in

i continue to be saddened by the fact that i am married to such a selfish man.. i want to know if i am the only wife who has no say when it comes to using the house she lives in for activities including other people.. .

let me explain.. yesterday my daugher who is 35 got a new puppy for my grandaughter who is 13. today my daughter and son in law are going to help my uncle at a job, and my granddaughter wanted to spend the day here, my daugher said shed bring her and the puppy over, i laughed and said 'your dad wont have that, ill have to go to your house'.. after all it will 'upset' the 2 cats they will hide all day [like they do anytime someone including my grandchild is in my home] .. i already knew that he would not like it if she brought the puppy over, [weve had dogs so its not like he hates them].

he doesnt care if his grandaughter would have enjoyed playing with the puppy over grandmas house, where she likes to be for a change, and that fact that id like to see what my cats would do when they saw a dog for the first time in thier lives.. maybe id have liked to play with the puppy .. when i said to my husband that my daughter said she wanted tp bring them over he said.

Hi whatnow, welcome.

I read your OP and just wanted to check on you to see how you are doing.

It is a new year now. Time for a fresh start. I hope things are looking up for you. Hang in there.

Memories. .. share the earliest or most favorite childhood memory

by MissFit in

my daughter tells me that experts say children tend to have false memories.

apparently their brain tends to fill things in that may not be totally accurate.. i refuse to believe that my favorite and comforting memory might not be true.

so here is to fond memories real or not.. the earliest memory i have is being put in a crib at a preschool.

MissFit

Kaik, that sounds like a great place to spend your childhood. I am sorry you cant find the place again.

Maybe it's' better that way:

Sometimes the memories are sweeter than the reality.

Hi Smiddy. Thanks for sharing. It really is amazing what things we remember.

Im not sure how much we can actually trust the earliest memories. The nice ones I think I will believe.

Have you ever compared memories of an event with members of your family? Were the events remembered similarly ? How different were they?

Hi Kaik, thanks for sharing those memories. I know what you mean about remembering things more than people.

I have strong memories of the house I lived in when I was 5. I remember the wood floors, the lay out of the rooms and the big front porch.

I too went back to view the house, but could not find it. I still remembered the landmarks. I finally realized that they tore the house down. I was so disappointed.

They came, they saw, they left...

by NVR2L8 in

during the holiday period one if my wife's brothers had planned a vacation in our area.

they drove about 6 hours to a condo they leased for a week to celebrate their wedding anniversary with their married son and daughter.

they called my wife to let her know they were coming to visit us since they were 2 hours away.

Many JWs consider it a virtue and being "spiritually minded" to put "kingdom interests"first before family.

I dont think most witnesses ever realize how that looks to other people. They just want to look good in their circle.

Thanks for sharing prolongs and x. Your memories seem focused on physical sensations.... cold and pain. It is amazing the different ways we remember things.

Spiritually Dead Children

this is a gem... charles sinutko had great skills at parenting.

you can download from here, http://da.getmyip.com/.

the pale horse of death had just ridden again.

I am curious about the date & venue of this talk. Was this given at a convention ? Was this talk also given by others?

I think this talk is very enlightening. It explains how otherwise loving and intelligent parents can be manipulated into shunning their children.

The parents are to blame their children and then treat them as if they are dead because if the Elders say they deserve it then it must be so.

Where is the love?

Magnum: sorry I missed your post the first time. I really enjoyed your "snippets"of memories and looking through your childhood eyes.

Adults forget how impressionable children are and how much they absorb even if they dont seem to be paying attention.

Hortensia: Thank you for sharing your memories. It sounds like you had quite an interesting childhood.

Sowhatnow: I'm sorry your first memory was so unhappy.

I hope you had some happier ones to replace them.
