My dad isn't the greatest typist to begin with and then you add in autocorrect fucking with him and it makes for a great time. Although, sometimes it's like reading an encrypted message sent by the enemy.

Gotta have the key to decipher messages from him?
I miss my parents. I've not been on good terms with them since I made the decision to get married to my husband. :(

Moonlit, I am sorry to hear that. Parents sometimes don't realize that it's not their life and whatever choices you make is your right to make. My parents had to face that with me and my husband. They constantly tried to butt into our marriage until we got into last Summer. Damn near a knock down drag out fight. Mom was the main culprit, Dad is much more easy going.
Even with the decipher key, it's not always a guarantee you'll pick up what he is putting down.

My parents are stupid people who think they can control me and my life and when I FINALLY find happiness... they chose to tear me down - just because of who I am and blah blah blah... I really don't want to get into this as it just throws me off. It's not that my parents tried to butt into my marriage per say - they essentially disowned me and are now trying to make my older brother do the same. All because they don't agree with who I am - not that I'm any different than the daughter they raised but apparently they think so. :(

Well we like you and your husband.
Not sure what I want to get for my husband, but a card would be a start. You have any plans for V-Day Moonlit?

 He makes me happy. I wish that my parents could see that. Stupid religious people. Blah. (They're against who I am because I'm bisexual, I wasn't ever planning on telling them. Somehow they found out.)
Honestly I'm not sure - we'll probably stay in with the kiddos, nothing overly special or over the top. We don't really have the funds to go out. But I like "quiet" evenings with the whole family. (Quiet in quotes as it's rarely actually quiet.)

Your sexual orientation should have no bearing on their lives. Just ridiculous.
Quiet evenings in are the best!
I do want to see the Deadpool movie coming out that weekend. Kind of excited about seeing it.

Oh I agree with you 110%... not that they see it that way. They've said some rather... unsavory things to me due to their feelings on the matter. Oh well it is what it is. At least my brother isn't bending to their wishes for him to disown me too. :/ *sighs*
Yeah, with lots of cuddles, kisses and love. <3

My siblings wouldn't bend to my parent's will either. We are free thinkers with our minds and don't need their guidance much anymore.
I am so ready to go home and finish the blanket I am crocheting. Going to try and make a baby headband next..

I'm very grateful that my brother won't bend to their will... He's amazing - given our differences we had when we were younger.
How much more to go to finish the blanket you're currently working on? :D When will you be done with work?

Amazing how some time and growing up makes you appreciate your siblings more. My older sister and I used to be at extreme odds with each other. Which is why it blew most of our family and friends away when we willingly co-habitated together when I was in my early twenties.
Got five more rows to do on the blanket. I will take a picture and post it here or in my thread sometime tonight so you can see it.
Work work is over for me in like 2 hours, give or take a few minutes.

My sister in law has a huge role in getting us to actually like each other more than we used to. We're 9 years apart in age, so we didn't have a lot in common when we were younger due to the massive age difference. By the time I was in my mid-teens, he was engaged and married and having kids.
Awesome! :D

There is six and half years between my older sister and I. The youngest of us is four years younger than me and that makes it hard for the oldest and youngest, almost eleven years for them. Amy was grown and out on her own before Amanda was even old enough to remember important things like birthdays and what not. So it was just Amanda and I for the longest time and to say we had a strained relationship is putting it mildly. We fought constantly and most of it was her being a horrible person.
*sigh* Siblings, one of the worst and best things about family.
I have a few blankets made, but I want more done before setting up an etsy page.

It was mostly my brother being not so nice - I usually did all I could growing up to avoid him. He didn't make things easier for me... and I could tell he didn't want me around. But we've talked it through - with the help of his wife being the mediator and we've gotten through it. :) For the most part at least. It's just the two of us.
I'd not change anything for the world though - despite our issues when we were younger. :)
Makes sense to want to have an inventory before starting something like that.
I've gotta go for awhile - the Norah needs me for something.
I've been on and off but mommy duties call! :)

I at one point identified as bisexual.
But I now identify as pansexul, panromantic, genderfluid, prefer the female pronouns as it's just easier that way.

My parents threw it in my face that because I'm bisexual - I'll cheat on my husband. Which isn't even remotely true and Daniel knows that... -.- My parents just piss me off. :/ They're all sorts of wrong.

Wait? They think because you are bisexual you are prone to cheat? Then WTF is the excuse for all those heterosexual people that cheat? Or do they believe those people are secretly bisexual too. O.o

That's one of the things they threw in my face - for which my husband snapped, told them that he knew I'd never do that to him, and that I'm faithful to him (which I am 100%). And threw them out. I've not talked to them since. That was over a year ago. And who really knows. I've given up with them. And been trying to move past all of this as best I can. I have my brother, his wife, my niece and nephew, my husband, his family and our daughters as my family now. My parents - by their actions - have lost me as a daughter and will never know their grand kids. They did this to themselves, and it's tough - but they made their decision, which has nothing to do with me but everything to do with them. Do I miss them? Yes, but they pushed me away due to their own judgements without really truly understanding that I'm still me. Nothing has changed. Oh well.

My husband is less than thrilled with my parents and has been so for the past couple of years ever since they tried to insert themselves into our relationship and lives. He's better with my Dad because Dad has backed off, but Mom went batshit crazy back in June of last year and he hasn't quite forgiven her for it just yet. Which I totally don't blame him.
She yelled at both of us because I asked her to not bring up certain subjects and she got in her head that I was putting a muzzle on her and her opinions. Well, no, I wasn't. I wanted a nice peaceful vacation with them and then she ruined it. *sighs* Parents are damn evil sometimes, usually in the name of being caring and concerned for their offspring. Ugh.
Hoping that this next year will bring some sort of reconciliation between all of us because I would like vacations to be nice again and not awkward in the least. It's one of my wishes, along with us getting pregnant. Would be amazing!

I'm sorry that your husband is on the outs with your mom! Hopefully things can get better between all of you!
I do regret that my girls won't know my parents. But I'm not to blame for my parent's decisions, they are.

I'm sorry to hear that, both of you. Hopefully someday it will work out, maybe your parents will realize they shouldn't be saying certain things or they'll realize that there is a gender / sexual orientation spectrum and that is okay.

It seems ever since my mom has been going through the change, her filter has disappeared and she just says whatever she wants, whenever she wants. If it was just me she did it to I would probably be more upset, but she does it to everyone so it's just one of those things you have to be aware of with her now.

Salvette: I highly doubt that my parents will ever change their mind about my sexual orientation and whatever else I've apparently done to wrong them. They're too stuck in their ways and can't seem to accept and learn to live with the fact that I am actually HAPPY for once with who I am and who I'm with. *sighs* Oh well.
Queen: She needs to learn that saying whatever she wants with no filter will push people away and make her enemies, even if she is older and an adult. :( It shouldn't just be something that you have to be aware of, she needs to realize that it's what's causing issues and pushing people away.
Sorry parent things usually just make me wanna bang my head into a wall - I only brought up my parents because they've been on my mind a lot lately and I needed to try to get it out of my system.

Same here. With us gearing up for the vacations we want to take this coming year, factoring in the parents is a must. Really hoping that Rodd gets a job and then we can say one of two things, "sorry we can't vacation right now because Rodd is working and I am working at new jobs and we don't have enough vacation time yet" or "Hooray! Rodd got a job and we can vacation, but it won't be as long as wanted, but hey, there is always next year or next trip" either one of those announcement should shut them up.
I also haven't told them that we are filing bankruptcy, that's a definite shit storm waiting to happen should they find out. It's truthfully none of their business and I haven't said anything to family about it at all.
