[Mez]

How's your back?

On the mattress, waiting for you.  You lucky devil!

[Invisible Friend.]

Did you really just leave randomly, Mez? I know teenagers can be annoying and I get upset at my mother and just want to move out all the time but I'd be horrified if she just left even more... Especially my younger siblings would be upset. Isn't that kinda selfish? Hippies are weird.

[grooviechickie]

Isn't it selfish that children/husbands drive their mothers/wives to take such action?

It's obvious that Mez doesn't feel like her needs are being met, or that she is being listened to. Nobody in her house seems to give a crap, and her voice is getting louder and angrier in response, so life at Chateau Mez is becoming volatile and miserable.

I tell you something - Mr GC and I parted ways at the end of 2001, and the kids wanted to go live with him (after much emotional manipulation on his part to get them to do so), so by early 2002 I lived by myself for 2 months in my own flat.

Those 2 months were memorable. I didn't have to rush home from work to pick up kids; I didn't have to argue with anyone in the mornings about school lunches, nor did I have to continuously nag kids to get out of bed; I didn't have to have my nightly ritual argument with Mr GC about how I spent all the money that he earned (wow, I shouldn't have paid that bill, bought that food or taken the kids to the dentist - how selfish of me!); I didn't have to get home from work, cook dinner for five people, do the washing and ironing for five people, wash up and clean up after five people and fall into bed exhausted, only to repeat it the next day; and everything in the house was in exactly the same place I had left it!

Bliss.

GC, Mez will be transitioning in Chateau Trux halfway house,  and I can't have three whores around the place.... Bad for bidness.

  Fairynuff. I'm not holidaying in Melbourne for a while. Maybe I'll make it down for Christmas.

And Thal, you're playing waaaaaay too many computer games.

[Emperor Fadeaway]

So...what GC is basically saying Vis is that yes - it is kinda selfish. Now that wasn't so hard to say, was it. But you are always one for a boring anecdote instead of just stating facts GC. LOL.

[grooviechickie]

Of course I am. So STFU, fucktard. 

And it is a little selfish, yes... but if a woman is pushed, then that's what happens.

Remember, Vis, that Mez's kids are 18 and 15, so more than old enough to know better and more than old enough to deal with her moving out.

[Emperor Fadeaway]

I never said it was wrong to be selfish. Just wanted you to admit that is what it is.

[Invisible Friend.]

I honestly don't think 15 is "more than old enough" to really deal with that. As much as they might think they are. I mean especially at that age it's like when people are going and being independent and obviously being teenage drama queens but deep down we just need to know that there is someone that's going to be there for us. I mean it feels like I was one not long ago at all, and my sister is that age also. I dunno this is just my personal opinion yeah, not being like anyone has to do anything, what would I know. And of course I don't know all the details. But I think I'd just want to set the example of not running away and smoking pot when things get tough. I dunno.

Muahahahahahaha!

Vis pwns Mez.

I think Vis speaks sense. As far as Mez has made known, she's not really discussed the issue with her family, she's just come to whinge to us about it. Which is fine for anger release, but if you take action prior to letting your family know what's actually up, then yes, she's just running away...

[Emperor Fadeaway]

Mez just thinks she's useless because no-one cares about her punani anymore.

As they say, if you live by the sword...

[Thaluikhain]

And it is a little selfish, yes... but if a woman is pushed, then that's what happens.

Conversely, if a man gets fed up with his home life, he can just dump his wife and kids and leave?

[Emperor Fadeaway]

Yes, and buy a Ferrari too and shag the secretary.

Why not? We do it all the time, and I've never thought it bad!

[Mez]

Ms 15 has packed her bag, taken her cat and gone to stay with a friend. That's one less cat. On the other hand the dog is being a whiney nuisance because he misses her- and so do I.

But she still wants Mr Mez to drive her from school to her babysitting job every day.  Independence only goes so far.

And yes, I DO tell the kids when they piss me off.

GC's story of two solo months has cheered me up no end.

On a related note, the St John's wort is obviously not working.  Time for real, lab-grown pharmaceuticals again.

Oh and Vis?  Running away and smoking pot when things get tough is my style. I've been running away from stuff all my life and regardless of what you personally think, it works for me.   

[Gin Bunny]

Yes but you have to face up to things sooner or later.

My Dad bunked off for a few months when I was younger, I never forgave him for that. Just bear that in mind...we still have a very fractured relationship even now.
