Letters you wish you could send......

**stinkbug** · 08-04-2009, 08:20 PM

We all have those frustrating people in our lives that we'd like to *tell it like it is*.....but we can't. So, for your benefit (and mine) feel free to post those letters you'd like to send....

*Dear Neighbor:

You are a dear, sweet, intelligent woman. You are 46 and chose to adopt a baby. What did you think was going to happen?? You are tired! Your life is upside down and you're having trouble adjusting. Welcome to the real world! You have a *mother's helper* two days a week, you have a nanny and houskeeper one day a week. The dry cleaners pick up and drop off your cleaning. You have every luxery convenience known to man. You are a SAHM. And you can't wait till your parents come and stay so you can have a vacation???? He is 6 months old!!!! Your work has just begun.....and all you talk about is not getting a full nights sleep? I'm sorry...I just can't be sympathetic anymore. You are a great mom, but you don't have a clue how the real world handles *motherhood*.

Your neighbor, who had two - 18 months apart and NO help or money for luxeries and managed to survive motherhood.

*Dear DH.....you have only been gone two days and I miss you like crazy.

The crazy wife, who is crazy about you

#Dear dd#2,

You are still my hero.

Love, The mommy person

Dear soon-to-be-ex dil:

I want to thank you for giving me two beautiful Grandchildren.

I want to thank you for giving my ds the chance to be close to his children while he was staying home nights with them while he was paying for your education. By the way, how is that Professor? Is he still the love of your life?

I guess having the bills paid, a new home and a father that loves his children and their mother doesn't fit into your future plans.

I want to thank you for setting my ds free from the screaming and drama.

Finally, I'd like to thank you for teaching my son the realities of life. He sure has his eyes wide open now.

Wishing you all the best on your future endeavers.

Love
Nana Hope

Dear Every Great Person in my Life

Thanks for being there and I have a blast with all of you. Good family, good friends, good times. That is all one can surely hope for the most out of this life.

Love Karen

(Oh, I don't need to send this letter, I tell them in person...LOL)

oh and just to say literally I just don't have frustrating people in my life....I am very fortunate.

Dear someone,

How can you behave so badly toward others? You ask a question and don't wait for a response before screaming and hanging up or walking off. You become beligerent at the drop of a dime. You do not know how to treat others no matter who they are.

Your children never see you, and I'm sure they feel they do nothing right, nothing is good enough for Dad. Your wife is a saint, I don't know how she deals with you. You should consider medication for your anger problems.

Please know that the world does not revolve around you and what you want. Just because you act like a jerk doesn't mean you will get what you want. I can't wait until I have the opportunity to not have to deal with you anymore!

**CrazyHomemaker** · 08-04-2009, 10:04 PM

Dear Person,

I enjoy when you come to visit, but don't rummage through my stuff as if it were your own! I'm getting tired of this and I really wish you'd quit nebbing! Quit picking up my stuff and touching it, too!

You are a really nice person and I can't believe you actually do this. You're not a young person and I can't believe that, being way past middle age, you are so nebby. Weren't you ever taught manners?

PLEASE...GET A LIFE OF YOUR OWN! Leave mine on the table!

(AAHHHH!!!! Felt good!)

**frugalwarrior** · 08-04-2009, 10:21 PM

Dear new renting neighbor,
Would you like me to throw a fund raiser for you for an exhaust system and tune up for your giant truck. While i understand that you must be at work at 6Am do you have to leave it running for 1/2 hour and then rev it several times and squeal down the street. Please allow me to buy you a catylitic converter seeing you live next to the late inventer of that converter.(true,he does).
Sincerely TIRED.!!

**frugalwarrior** · 08-04-2009, 10:26 PM

Dear MIL,
You are beyond the most petty person in the world. If you are mad at me or dislike me, fine. It is mutual. How dare you not send my dd a graduation card after all the little things she has done for you. There was no party. You were invited to the ceremony. You can buy a card 2/100 at the dollar store. Now everyone knows what i have been saying is true.

**Incognito** · 08-04-2009, 10:53 PM

Dear Neighbours,
Have a nice summer; but please show me a little consideration too.
Yes, I know you love to set off fireworks from 12:30 - 2 AM, but you're only 3 houses away from me, and I'm trying to sleep at that time.

And yes, I know you love heavy metal music blasting loudly, until the walls in my home & the fillings in my teeth are also vibrating in synch with the rhythm, but it hurts my ears and really bothers my nerves nonetheless.

And of course I know you love your boxer dog, and your little dogs, (and all of your wandering cats), but please don't let them go unleashed and into my garden, and please try to control them as I go past because I've come close to having a heart attack a few times when they jumped out at me barking and chased me down the road as I passed by with my medical walker.

And yes, I know you love a bright-green lawn and trees at all times, but your pesticides & herbicides & toxins are making me very, very sick, and the town-water tastes of malathion and Killex, etc., and there are so many dead butterflies on the ground these days.

And of course I realize that you want to enjoy your backyard pool, but do you have to have a noisy crowd of people there till 5 AM on most summer weekends while the rest of the folks on the block are trying to sleep with our windows open because of the summer heat.

Now, of course my complaints won't set well with you if I send this letter, so I'll just suffer in silence. Not that you don't already know you're bugging people, what with the cops being over there so often. But anyway, I'll close for now, and I'm sure it won't be too long before the season changes, and we'll all be nicely isolated from each other again throughout a long Canadian winter.

Sincerely, if nothing else,
Your neighbour.

Dear Person,
I would think that after you tried to contact me via my ex aunt and me not responding would be enough of a clue that I don't want to speak to you. I don't truly believe that you are in recovery and trying to make ammends. I don't believe that you want to start a new relationship with me. I do believe that you will hurt me again and I just can't have that in my life. I hope you can find peace within yourself as I have found within myself without you there. Enjoy the rest of your life, without me in it.

Me.

dear BFF,

please don't buy that piece of jewelry. you just put in a pool you haven't paid for. i know you say "you deserve it", but you can't afford it. Here's a thought, whyn't you get a J-O-B?

i love you dearly, but you need a slap upside the head.

me

**pop goes the weasel** · 08-05-2009, 07:20 AM

Dear big brother,
I know we are the only family left but please don't treat me like I'm stupid and look down on me. Through out your drunken years I have fed you put a roof over your head and your girlfiriends, gave you money and gas. I never asked for anything in return. Family helps each other in times of trouble. You live 1/2 a mile from me yet I haven't seen you since March. I know you have been busy with the new truck and the new addition you're putting on since you got a big chunk of money from you SO's surgery mishap but when I asked to to borrow tax money so I wouldn't lose my house you said no and then said you'd think about it and call back. Well I haven't heard from you since. I told you I would pay it back. We always said it wasn't you but your ex that made you act this way but now I know better. And now I find out from someone else that you were back in rehab again. Guess the last three times didn't stick.
Your little sister

**ml2620** · 08-05-2009, 07:35 AM

Dear boss,

I quit.you've been a great boss, I never would have stayed without you but I have the means now to live my life full time!

See you at the beach!

**stinkbug** · 08-05-2009, 08:44 AM

Dear friend of mine....

For the love of all that is holy, will you please dump that piece of crap that is your husband! You stay away from home so you don't have to be near him....you have complained non-stop for the 10 years I've known you! He makes your life a living hell, you have the means to live your life better, and yet....you let him stomp all over you, berate you, and terrorize you. Why are you so afraid to be alone??? You are turning into a frightened shell of a woman because of him....I know...I've been there. So please don't cry on me and constantly hide out here when you refuse to step up and change the situation.

Always here for you, but getting frustrated with your lack of action to control your life

Dear Doggie of mine,

I know I tell you a million times a day, but you are the Best. Dog. Ever. I am so thankful you came into my life. You make me smile and I can't resist those silly ears of yours! I can't imagine how you ever ended up at the shelter, but I'm glad I'm the lucky one you picked to be your forever mommy.

Luckiest dog mom.

To My Parents,

Thank you.

Littlest One.

**ladykemma2** · 08-05-2009, 10:06 AM

dear daughter of a friend,

i do not know you but my friend, your mother, is very worried about you. your husband has warned you that he is leaving you as soon as your 16 year old child turns 18. you have a two year warning to get your act together.

you have fossilized in the house long enough. the self neglect has gone on long enough. your husband has had enough.

please get some glasses so you can see. there is money for you to get glasses. you have insurance. this is about you.

please learn to drive. you can't function as an adult in our city if you can't drive.

please career retrain. you have 2 years "heads up" to get a 2 year RN or some other trade that pays the bills, while you still have a roof over your head.

you will need money for the attorney. start thinking ahead. start daydreaming about the life you want to lead, where you want to live, what you want your apartment to look like, what furniture you want to have.

please get off your azz and get moving. i know it is frightening as you have never had to function as an adult. i know a good counselor who can help you, if you want it. she helped me.

and finally please never put yourself in such a victimy situation again. you are responsible for YOU. it is time to grow up.
