Sometimes, I don't have a question but I sure do need to vent! So what do you hate?
I HATE it when....

My SIL continues to be the most selfish person I know!

Why can I handle the 2 boys ALL DAY LONG, but my husband can't for 10 minutes while I SHOWER!! GRRR

My mother drives me nuts, every day, several times a day.

That when my husband has a cold, the whole world stops but I can be dying with a rare disease and I'm being "dramatic".

I make my son dinner, several dinners and he eats nothing.

My boys play with a toy all throughout a store, so I buy it and as soon as we come home, there is no interest.

So What Happened?

I HATE IT WHEN I write a response to a question and I was trying to be funny and sarcastic and then I get hate messages!!

I WAS JOKING WHEN I CALLED MOM's with EASY KIDS LIARS!! Stop sending me hate messages!!!

Boy that felt good!

Ok, and I REALLY hate it when I give my all to someone, go out of my way, treat them like gold and get nothing in return. Hence, the SIL!

--I just cleaned out the cat litter box, and one of them takes a giant "sh" in it.
--I forget to move the wet laundry to the dryer in a timely fashion.
--I go grocery shopping and remember everything except that ONE thing I REALLY needed.
--Family drama...'nuff said.

I dislike when people ask for advice, and then get upset because it wasn't advice they wanted, but confirmation that their mistake/belief is correct after the fact.

I have difficulty with people who do not understand a certain concept, yet "know it all".

I have a hard time with some family members, who believe that anyone who is not Western European White or thin or of their particular political party is 'ruining this country'. (Like I want to live in the Land of WASP!)

But on a daily basis... I really hate it when I notice there's only "a square to spare" *after* I have sat down... ugh. (gotta love those Seinfeld references!)

I hate it when.....
I think I have done the last load of laundry/dish..and yet more magically appears...as if some flippin' chore fairy comes down and smacks me in the face with her wand telling me I haven't yet finished.
I hate it when.....
My SO tells me he likes a dish....then two weeks later I cook the same exact thing and he says "oh...we're having that," obviously it was good enough 2 weeks ago, and got rave reviews yet spontaneously taste buds change in 2 wks.....14 freakin' days and you no longer like it, especially after I consult you and tell you what I am making!
I hate it when......
Clothes land on the bathroom floor....RIGHT NEXT TO THE HAMPER...seriously the clothes are touching the hamper they belong in, and no...they didn't decide to crawl out on their own to be free (as my SO claims they do).
If you can't tell it's chore day for me, and I feel like it's never ending....and my SO has been sick with a head/chest cold so whatever I cook...hasn't been what he wants. LOL....Ok, I feel better now. =)

I love these! I just want to add two teeny, weeny things:

Those moms (and there's got to be one in every neighborhood) who stand and watch your child, say, having a meltdown in the cereal aisle, and then feel compelled to "share" with you, "Oh, that must be soooo challenging. MY precious Petunia always has exemplary behavior in the grocery store. Oh, and have you heard, she'll be performing in Carnegie Hall next week. Too bad it's all sold out, or I'd invite you....."

And ... Elevators! Why, why, why, in the wide world of elevator designers, did no one stop to think of the consequences of putting the "alarm" button, the one that stops the elevator for 20 hours and dispatches the fire department, the one that's RED and and looks far more irresistible than any of the ones that just take the elevator to a given floor, WHY do they put this one really LOW, when it's absolutely, perfectly at the hand level of every two-year-old boy?????

I hate it when I come home from going out on a much deserved break only to find my house a disaster, the kids are whining because they are tired and hungry, and I then think to myself why bother going out because I know when I get home, I'll have double the work...now why is it that when I'm gone out for a couple of hours, my husband cannot manage the household? (Boy, that's feels good to get off my chest).

Great post by the way:)

I hate how I can understand what my husband try to tell me with things like:
"Can you give me the "thing" next to the "other stuff".
But when I have to ask him for something I have to say something like:
Please give me "now" the "blue" glass that is in the top left kitchen cabinet, etc.

I hate that I had to learn how to multi task but my husband is a single process thing when it comes to kids and home chores.

I hate my teen's argument "Is not fair" for everything!

I hate when my toddler is doing something super cute and as soon as I turn on the camera she stops, or when ever you ask in front of other people to do something cute that they keep doing for hours at home they look at you like: "What are you talking about".

I could keep going but I don't want to have to explain to them why I suddenly got upset after reading Mamapedia, lol.

I forget that I've done a load of laundry and it doesn't get put into the dryer in a timely fashion.

People leave their turn signal on for miles without turning.

People start statements with "I'm not racist, but..." or "No offense, but...." You know whatever they are going to say is going to be offensive or racist.

People assume that everything someone says to them is a condemnation (sometimes it is just an observation or to start a conversation...chill out people...sigh).

This is great!

I hate it when other Mom's pass their "expert" parenting skills onto others, thinking they are doing the world this huge favor, when in reality, they need to mind their own business and raise their own crazy kids.

I hate it when I have to drop my son off at school and it's pouring down rain and all of the parking spots are hogged by the older women who take swim classes there.

I hate it when I'm really in a rush at the grocery store and I get stuck behind the only person who has 100 coupons to use AND had to not only write a check, but also BALANCE her checkbook there on the spot.

I hate it when I'm walking into a building with 2 kids in the stroller and the a-hole before me doesn't the hold door. Jerk.

I hate it when people try to push their politics and/or religious beliefs on me. I am very strong in where I stand and no amount of email forwards will change my mind and this point.

I hate it when I put the kids down for a much-needed nap and the teenager next door comes home and lets her ugly yappy dog bark in the yard for an hour, eventually waking both kids from a dead sleep.

I hate the rising prices in poor food quality. The produce at the supermarket is outrageously overpriced and if you look closely, it's terrible. I wouldn't feed it to my dog. (we don't have dog, but if we did....)

I hate kids birthday parties. Nothing but germ fests. We get sick after each and every one. Just getting the invites makes my skin crawl.

I hate it when I see parents being neglectful toward their children in public. If that's how they treat them in front of others, how are they treated at home?

I love my husband but wish he'd learn to sit at the table and eat. He walks around the house munching on things and leaves a trail of food all over the place.

That's all I've got for now.
Thanks for the opportunity to vent!

OH, a VENT FEST! I love it. First of all, to anyone who has a perfect child/husband/life, feels the need to criticize others or feel superior, shame on you! I bet if we scratch your surface, you are FAR from perfect, so stop being a hater!

I HATE:
1. Despite the fact that it is 2011, it is STILL difficult to find equality at work.
2. My husband is snippy and then gets even more annoyed when I react to his snippiness. Like I should just take the attitude.
3. People who judge without knowing you or your situation.
4. Mornings.
5. When my son loses something and gets mad at ME!
6. Friends who are only there for you when THEY need you!
7. The end of a good book.
8. When my hair is frizzy.
9. Attitude. You know the kind.
10.When people spit in the street.

I LOVE

1. My son
2. MY husband
3. MY dogs
4. Music
5. Good friends
6. That moment when you cannot breathe because you are laughing SO hard and the person you are laughing with is laughing just as hard and NO one else understands why you are laughing.
7. Singing.
8. When my son makes me breakfast in bed on Sunday morning just because he loves me.
9. When my husband comes to bed after me and thinks I am asleep and kisses me telling me how much he loves me and how great I am (he tells me when I am awake too, btw).
10. When I can take a moment and appreciate how fortunate I am, despite the hardships in my life.
Thanks!

I LOVE THIS!

I HATE IT WHEN......The only task my hubby has to truly do around the house is dishes and the sink stinks and is piled mile high. I refused to touch them, I dont just about everything around here but the heavy lifting.

When my youngest gets into the fridge for the million-billionth time and poured yet another sticky smell something all through the house.

When i go to sit down on the toilet in the middle of the night and when i stand up the rim of my rear is soaking wet because my two lazy boy toilet boys cant aim with or without a nightlight.

When i too am sick and want to die, he says I am fine. When he is sick he will stay in bed all day long. not get up to help unless i yell i am bleeding.

when all three of my babies were sick, he let them all sleep with me. He would crash on the couch. Now I am sick as hell and he is not feeling it for me at all. I cant take otc meds. due to my anxiety medication i am currently on. It could cause a heart attack.

My kids too will play with something throughout the whole store. So occassionally I give in and buy it for them. They too are no longer interested in. I then after a week if it hasnt moved i go sell to consignment shop.

I love when each of my babies come to me each night in their own way to say good night.
i love everytime my youngest says''i love you mommy''
I love hearing their laughter in back yard when they are digging up worms.

''so all I hate it whens'' usually can be backed up with a,''but i love it when....''

'its good to hate it when though or you will burst!!
