First-born wanted garden benches for Christmas. The Man Flesh was looking at plastic shit. So to his chagrin, I picked up the two cheapest, rustiest, filthiest, most rotten specimens on Marketplace (they even had mushrooms growing on them). Nek minnit:

Son needed a bigger bed since he is too tall for a double; husband & I wanted to downsIze to a double since we no longer have 2 preschoolers and 2 cats bunking in with us. Son got our old queen bed & I treated myself to this antique beauty.

Yesterday she referred to my eldest's partner as her future grandson-in-law and I nearly died

Oh, shit... The needle bar driving lever bent in the fall. Luckily I have a heap of play money saved up from Marketplace sales and also a source for a ($200AUD) replacement.

I tried so hard to be what my dad wanted and it was never enough. Walking away from him was the only option. I wish he had been who I needed but he never was and that's just the world we live in.
Just a quiet, sad little PSA.
If someone is estranged from their parents, please please don’t give them the ‘but they’re your mum/ dad’
They were their mum / dad when they did the worst imaginable things to their own kids.
It’s not up to the children to make it ok. It’s up to them to live well.
