Most of my "problems" are minor, but I guess I've just been anxious/irritated lately. Part of me is tired of how my mom wants me to watch my brother. It's not like I have to babysit him, but every time I wanna go somewhere, she gets so pissed at me and it feels like it's taking away my freedom. She does let me go in the end, but when I was at my grandma's and my great grandma asked if I was gonna go to the mountains, mom said something similar along the lines when I'll be back, and I got kinda bitter and told her Sunday. I know she needs help with the kids, and she's busy with school, but I'm getting really ****ing tired of her getting pissed at me every time I want to go somewhere. Every time I ask, I'm always anxious because I know it'll end up with both of us yelling at each other if it's longer than a weekend. I understand she's stressed out and her kids are a distraction, but I feel this isn't ****ing fair to me and I feel she's too dependent on me watching them. Part of me knows I am also being selfish because I live here for free and don't have a job but.. I can have some freedom too you know? We had a huge fight a few months ago and she said she'll never understand my freedom and love for the mountains. It was a pretty bad fight. :/ It's so repetitive at this point that it's becoming ridiculous. I want to move out for several reasons, partly because of this too, but now I'm thinking, when I go are you gonna think I ****ing "abandoned" you? She actually ****ing believed I "abandoned" her because I was gone for a few days. It was only five days.
I just hope she keeps her word with me when she told me she knows she can't rely on me when they go back to school. I think she was convincing even herself because we both know I want to get out of here and move on.
She doesn't make me raise them or take care of them. I don't mind watching him for a couple of hours. My biggest issue with this is how she gets so ****ing pissy with me every time I want to go somewhere and I'm tired of being anxious every time I want to ask when my grandma wants me to go.
I wanna note that I am going to my grandma's on Thanksgiving week, I appreciate that she's letting me go, but I am just bothered how she said "if you'll come back".
I want January to arrive soon so they can go back to school, but I know that's unfair and selfish of me because of CODVID-19 going on. It's just a stressful moment for all of us.

@bristleleaf
I'm sorry about everything you're going through, and I don't really have any advice, but I can relate. You're right, that's not fair to you at all, your mom shouldn't expect you to watch her kid, and she especially shouldn't get mad at you, for you wanting to do what you want to do. Watching a kid does seem to take away your freedom, especially when you hardly get any say so in the matter. This is your life, not your mom's, she's gotta understand, that you need to live your own life, and she can't hold you back, because of hers. Parents are meant to push their children forward, not hold them back. I hope you feel better soon, and that you're able to work things out with your mom, and that she'll cut you some slack.

Honestly it's a complicated situation. I don't mind watching him a couple of hours a day. That's exactly what I do. But my problem is that when I want to go somewhere for a week or so, she gets mad at me and says she needs help. But what pisses me off is that she has a ten year old son (he's VERY smart for his age), a husband, and for some reason nobody tries to watch him other than me? That's what makes me upset and feels it's unfair. My stepdad works so I do understand that part, but my brother is on Minecraft all day and that's all he does. All my littlest brother does is sit on the computer or watches TV all day. There have even been days when I'm not needed at all and he just plays his games, so it's got me thinking, what's the point of watching him then if he's occupied and fine? She isn't making me raise him (I am grateful for this, because I know a lot of other parents do because they're the "oldest", which I think is bullshit) My mom and I do have a good relationship for the most part, but it's times like this that we seriously piss each other off when it comes to her needing me to watch him. It happens every year. My grandma asks if I can come over, I ask my mom for permission, she gets pissed at me if it's for a week or two. My mom has to work at home. She is a teacher and does zoom classes and works on assignments 24/7. I understand why she needs me but sometimes I need my freedom and to get out of here. I love the mountains and I hope one day I'll move there and call that place my "home". I guess I'm just disappointed because nobody else tries to play with my littlest brother like I do. He just needs to play toys with someone all day but my oldest brother is on his damn Minecraft all day. That's why I get so upset because I know other people can help her other than me while I am gone for only a week. My last fight with her really upset me because I only asked for five days and apparently she thinks that's "abandonment" but she can ask other people to watch him while I am gone or my brother can give him things to play with or he can be on a damn computer. I don't understand why this happens every time I ask but I'm just getting tired of it. I remember I was happy with my full time job because it meant I can do whatever I want and go wherever I want. I know I'm being selfish. She does let me hang out with friends and go outside. I'm not in prison. But it's times like these that really pisses me off.

I don't blame you for being upset about that at all. I get pissed off too when no one pays attention to my nephew when they're here. So, do you mean your youngest brother is ten, or your other brother is ten? Either way, if your other brother is older than ten, then he's def old enough to at least play with your younger brother, all the pressure shouldn't fall on your shoulders. Maybe there can be a compromise? Like, if it's possible, offer to take your sibling with you to your grandma's, so your mom won't say you're abandoning her. However, I can understand if that's not possible/not something you'd want to do.

However, I can understand if that's not possible/not something you'd want to do. Caleb is five and Jacob is ten. But Jacob is very smart his age and I know he's capable of doing more than sitting on his ass all day. I admit I was a little bit lazy in the past with helping out with chores and around the apartment but I'm trying to do a little more now. I guess I'm just kind of annoyed because that's all Jacob does, part of me is also probably jealous because people got onto my ass about the computer when I was ten, but they don't bother him about it. And when Jacob does watch Caleb, he's on his tablet and avoiding him, gets pissed off when Caleb is annoying him. Which annoys me because that doesn't really help anyone at all and then Caleb will bother my mom and then I have to watch him. I'm just so annoyed because my mom and I are the only ones spending quality time with him. Nobody else can handle Caleb, I can barely handle him myself. He's very hard and doesn't listen to anyone, he's noisy and rude, but once you play with him he's fine. I guess it's hard for my brothers to play because they're so damn competitive. Everything always needs to be a competition. So Caleb treats Jacob like shit. Jacob does coding and he's even cooked meals (he's even made bread which is awesome for his age) and that's why I get so mad when he doesn't do anything but sit on his ass all day doing nothing. Jacob is capable of doing so much more shit than playing that game. I'm all for playing shit for a few hours a day, that's fine, but sitting down for 12 hours a day and doing nothing? That's crap. Jacob really is a sweet kid though. I guess I'm just being whiny. I'm just tired of this. Everyone else is capable of watching Caleb but my mom only asks me for the most part. Again, I don't mind this as a routine, but it's a problem when she's pissed at me because I want to go somewhere for a few days.

You're not being whiny at all, I don't see how someone wouldn't be frustrated in your situation. It's also unfair, that your siblings get away with things, that you don't get away with, so I can understand you being angry about that as well. Do you think it'd ever be possible for them to have a friendly competition with each other? Maybe, if you make a game out if, they can keep each other distracted, but that would probably lead to more fights and drama, that you don't want to deal with. I hope your mom sees sense soon, and starts letting you do your own thing, especially when other people are involved, it's not fair to anyone in this situation. Also, it's not like you're leaving for good.

I cried for the first time in, I can't remember when, I never felt so pathetic. Thankfully, I'm a silent crier, so no one really knew, and even if they did, they probably wouldn't care. I am sick and tired of living in this house, I can't show any signs of negative emotion, without getting yelled at, yet, they can fight 24/7, and snap at people, and it's 100% a-okay! I tried pointing this out, and I automatically started getting yelled at, about how that isn't true, when it sure as heck is. Lately, no one in this house has been talking to me, except when it's to ask me to do something, or to be snappy towards me, and I'm getting sick of it. For over a year, I have been watching their kid, free of charge, ALL the time, and I don't even get any gratitude for it, if I say anything against it, they shut off my internet, and I'm not trying to sound like some dumb technology obsessed rat, but I literally have no one to talk to IRL except my nephew, who can't talk back. I'm also sick and tired of how condescending they are, they act like they're above me, and like they're the boss, but they're not. I'm tired of being made to feel like a burden in my own house, when I haven't even done anything wrong.

Not really a vent because it's something I'm happy about, but I've been super stressed because of my Calculus course lately (see my last non-MBTI post here for details), and one of the major contributing factors was that I got a 53 on my midterm that's worth 30% of my overall grade.
Well, the organizational issues that I mentioned in my last post are still abound, and this ties into them, but it is somewhat positive that my midterm grade is now listed as 73%. No announcements that the grades would be changed, but I'm not going to complain (too much) about it.

Just heard my brothers creating a scene and my mom screaming at them and saying how she hates her life I think I've decided to just stay away from both parents right now and have boundaries with them. Not even gonna talk to them, just say "hello" and such and help out with my brother. I don't want to deal with their shit. They're both in a lot of stress and taking it out on their kids and yelling at them I know my mom is probably jealous because she can't go anywhere with the kids but they both had them and I think she needs to be strict on who's watching them and who should help and imo I feel we all need to take turns I'm expecting lashing out today so at this point I'm staying in my room or going to a store if I need to go out for something I get why she holds me going somewhere against me now but I still don't think it's fair Both brothers need to stop complaining about each other, my mom needs to stop taking her stress out on everyone, or it's all gonna go downhill. I just wanna get the **** out of here. It's too negative. It's a bad week. One of the things I'm scared of the most is that it's going to take my mom having a ****ing heart attack before people realize they need to help her This is bullshit. I would love to speak to both of them about how I feel we should handle this but I know they won't listen to me because I "live here for free" so I don't bother. Especially in their stressful state. The best I can probably do this week is just be with my brothers and stay the **** out of their way. I don't wanna deal with either of them rn.

im officially burned out this semester. i want to know whose idea it was to cram finals in before thanksgiving break, so i can, uhm, talk.
i had my 23-page thesis due yesterday, but i had to get it done by the 9th because i had two different essays due today (the 19th) that i spent the last two weeks working on. i had to work around my sister's wedding last weekend, of course, because i was the main coordinator/planner/decorator/cake baker for that. those two essays i actually had to finish monday, in order to start a 10-12 page research paper due next wednesday. i thought i'd be stressed but okay getting it done around my four finals (starting tomorrow). but then yesterday one of my profs gave us the prompt for our take-home final essay due monday (counts as our final exam grade) and it's freaking 10-15 pages. i probably can't even start that til saturday, because rn i have to study for my exam tomorrow, and then i have an exam saturday afternoon that's on the one book that i didnt read in that class because shit hit the fan (so i guess i gotta go read it overnight tomorrow hnnnngh).
i did beg for mercy from the professor of that first 10-12 page research paper, so now instead of being due on wednesday i have a whole extra week. the bummer is that when i go home for thanksgiving i won't actually be done with the semester like i've been telling myself as motivation, but i'd much rather have that time to write a quality paper without stress.
also, this has been my semester since late september. just an absolute clusterfruckle of assignment load, for two and a half months. i keep joking this is hell week #11.

Im so mentally and Physically exhausted. But because of my job field, I am working multiple 16 hour shifts in the next week. 😅 I can feel my anxiety and depression starting to overwhelm me, but have to ignore it as much as I can. Sometimes I wish I didn’t have to keep doing this everyday. I have never hated my job field, until Covid happened. Now I dread getting up and working everyday. It makes me so mad at myself. Because I love my residents and most of my coworkers. I wish things would go back to normal..

I find it very amusing but also extremely inconvenient that the Math Tutoring Center at my school works every day until 9pm except Fridays and Saturdays.
Like, yeah, screw you guys who are trying to get help before the due date instead of partying, we'll get back to you on Sunday, the day your homework is due.

I am super confused and kind of hurt. My mother and I have never had the greatest relationship because I was a super crazy kid, likely due to being neurodivergent or trama at a young age, but the past couple years I've done my best to have a good relationship with her since my dad is a mess. Issue is that a couple months ago I basically moved out because life bs ended up with my family in a super tiny house in the middle of nowhere, I didn't even have a room and getting a job would be nearly impossible because of distance. Well I came back this week to visit since my brother is home from a two year religious thing and my feelings towards my mom are very mixed but I'm trying my best. Unfortunately she kinda blew up on me because I wouldn't rub her neck for her and I haven't exactly been perfect because of hurt feelings. It's rough because I miss my family but it hurts to be with them. Then I wanted to talk to my parents and brother about some important things going on in my life to get some reassurance and help making decisions but like always, my parents are emotionally unavailable and dad is too busy with work. I really just want someone to help me but there is no one.
Another kinda related issue is that I am now in a position where I can take care of my mental health, maybe get a diagnosis, but my mom is always super anti and my parents make mean jokes about mental illnesses so I would never be able to tell them without meeting disapproval and possibly anger. I also am trying to save up money for a religious mission as it has been a life goal of mine for years. But pursuing help for my mental issues would take away from that money and I am just so tired of waiting to go on my mission. It's super conflicting and only adds to my stress levels.

I'm a terrible person. I dislike someone for basically no reason except envy. Like, this person is great, they're perfect at everything they do, they're super outgoing, and they're easily able to make friends with pretty much everyone they talk to. However, just thinking about them makes me angry. Why can't I be that talented and charismatic? I shouldn't dislike them, because none of this is their fault, for the most part, they've always been nice to me, but yeah.

I get nervous ridiculously easily. To clarify, I do not have a diagnosed anxiety disorder (never been tested for one), but I still really need to get help for it. Only problem is that that requires, you know, talking to other people (mainly a therapist, obviously) about it. And since that makes me nervous and therefore discourages me from seeking help... idk. It's not anyone's fault, it's not my fault that my brain works like this, but it is just so frustrating that I know I need help but I just can't reach out to get it.
oof... those run-ons though xD

so. black friday. and early black friday sales. great,, thought i'd try to order my bf a monogrammed keychain for our upcoming anniversary. it happens to be from a higher-end brand. the reason i was choosing to buy from them is my bf gave me something from this brand after we became a couple and i thought it'd be kinda cute to match that back for the anni.
only. their website sucks. really bad. i tried to use their search to look up the keychain, and it only stays on the results for a second before going back to the home page.
i switched to another browser, which luckily seems to work okay. also, the keychain i was looking for is 30% off with free shipping. which is honestly a pretty great deal.
but now. it SAYS you can monogram the products online, which is what i wanted specifically more to make the item more special. and it says you can, specifically on the keychain's page. but the link which takes me to the customization page doesn't offer that keychain, or even keychains at all. only purses, passports and stuff. couldn't figure out a way to customize anything aside from a few recommended products.
idk if they updated the site and the thing saying you can monogram the keychain is outdated, but the lack of professionalism is really irking me considering their company's status. the deal is great, but the closest in-person store is hours away and i'm not sure if i should bother trying to call the company since the idea of giving them money when they make so much but can't even maintain a congruent or easy to shop at website kinda makes me :/

I hate hate hate cockroaches so much they’re everywhere in my house I can’t sleep at night because I sleep near the roof and I can hear them scurrying around which just makes me so uncomfortable and actually gets me crying because of it. My house is a mess and there’s just a huge mountain of clothes on the floor that no-one’s bothered to clean up because when my family actually do get to together to clean it up, someone just seems to toss another pile ontop without any regard so everyone got lazy including me. Yeah so I saw a pregnant cockroach crawl into that pile of clothes THAT WE STILL WEAR and it keeps me worried at night.
There’s always a cockroach, ALWAYS. There’s always one on the ceiling, always one on the floor, ONE WAS IN MY BEDSHEETS ONCE AND IT FLEW OUT. No-one in my house wants to invest in a pest-controller because they think it’s a waste of money but I literally cannot stand this anymore. I get it, there’s cockroaches everywhere and I got used to them too last year, but this year there just seems to be wayy too much for my liking and I just want to burn my house down and run away.
So now I’m just folding the clothes hoping that the pregnant cockroach hasn’t laid her egg yet in the pile or I’m screaming.

I could have sworn that Simply Soft yarn was under the brand Yarnspirations, not Caron.
Yes, I'm aware Caron is a brand owned by Yarnspirations, but the point is I couldn't find the yarn I was looking for because I was avoiding Caron.
What's the thing that's like the Mandela effect, but it's only one person going crazy instead of the whole world? Because I'm experiencing that right now.

Me: Ooh, I should knit red and green fuzzy socks and give them to everyone as gifts!
Me: goes to order red and green fuzzy yarn only to find out that's exactly what everyone else was thinking.
So I got Emerald and Cranberry instead
EDIT: on the plus side I just got $90 worth of yarn (before shipping/taxes) for $68 (including shipping/taxes) due to Yarnspirations' really bizarre discounting and free shipping policies.
