First complaint post...

Ok so it took me all of what, 3 hours before I started complaining but this has been festering for a little over a month now.

Back story: Mark has 2 sisters. One of them we have NO contact with(it's mutual disdain). The other sister has been content to be a birthday and holiday aunt, ie: no physical contact(never comes to visit, etc.) but has always sent birthday and holiday gifts. Until now. Matthew's birthday was September 12th. Today is October 24th. As of today, he has received NOTHING for his birthday. Not even a card. Not even an E-CARD. She did however send ME an e-mail saying "I didn't forget Matthew's birthday, tell him I'll try to have something to him by CHRISTMAS".

It pisses me off for several reasons. First of all she sends me at least 4 political forwards per week. She has the time to do that but she can't lick a stamp and put it on a fucking card?? She sends an e-mail to me and makes it seem like her life is just too busy to acknowledge her nephew's birthday in a timely manner. I have 4 kids to her 2 and I still manage to send her daughters a birthday gift.

Matthew is 11. He is getting old enough to notice when he gets the shaft. I'm struggling to keep my angry feelings buried so I don't sound like a bitter bitch when I try to explain to him that she is a self absorbed fruit loop in a kid friendly way.

My first post.

Hi everyone! I have been a long time journaler at live journal but it has lost it's appeal to me and became more like a chore to update or comment so I moved over here. For those just getting to know me I am Keri, 31, mom to 4 boys. My oldest son is Matthew and he just turned 11. Ashton is my second son and he will be 10 in December. Nicholas is baby boy #3 and he is 7. And the baby of the family, Adam, is 5 years old.

This is the first year all the boys have been in school full time so I am trying to figure out what to do with myself and I am currently job hunting and contemplating going back to school(psst: I am a chicken and petrified I will fail if I go back to school).

My husband is Mark, 32, former army man and now a civilian. We have been married for 12 years, together for 15. He is my rock and I love him dearly. Anyone that puts up with me for this long and loves me the way he does is worthy of nothing but respect. He has gone to Iraq 3 times and he is a kick ass dad.

Well that's about it for now. I need to play around and get my journal fixed up all pretty and stuff. LOL
