This is what I got too, and frankly I can understand her angst.
She’s happy that her mom has a new beau but for the love of Pete could she have fallen for someone that didn’t need Rachel to taxi him around?!?!
You know, mom gets a new guy, Rachel is thinking ‘Awesome! Maybe he can help out with her appointments and stuff.’ and instead it turns out that she has ANOTHER person she needs to ferry about. Yah, I feel her pain.
Crotch stink stuck in a way that polyester pants can only dream of.
Of all the threads in all the interwebs, I had to read *that *one. It was mesmerising though.
This whingey one about the blind leading the blind, not so much. Either be the ‘good’ daughter and do it graciously; or do it resentfully and set some ground rules so you can do it graciously next time. Or don’t do it at all.
I’d rather smell the burning martyr than those fucking stink pants though.
If you don’t want to help your mother out, then you need to set boundaries with her. But expecting her to find a sighted boyfriend to be her personal assistant is just creepy and wrong.
When I read about her mother having a blind boyfriend, I saw it as sweet. My blind grandmother found a deaf husband when she was almost 80, and often joked that it was the perfect relationship – she couldn’t see him, and he couldn’t hear her. There is no reason why rachelellogram should have to chauffeur her mother’s boyfriend if she doesn’t want to. But she has no right to set restrictions on her mother’s love life.
I have noticed a distinct level of creepiness in many of her postings lately.
I have no opinion here, I just like the word-sound of Rilchiam pitting Rachelellogram. What’s next, Rick pitting Bricker? An Arky pitting Anaamika? Or, heavens forbid, Argent Towers pitting Agent Foxtrot!
I’ll concur with that. The wording she chose to describe her mother’s new relationship gave off a barely-hidden smell of “woe-is-me”:
Sucks that the mother expects her to cart the boyfriend around, that seems thoughtless indeed, but seriously? Her mother finds someone she likes and all Rachelellogram can think about is how inconvenient the particular choice was? Was she was really expecting her mother to find an unpaid servant?
Unless there’s some kind of bizarre backstory, it seems just … mean-spirited to have “bitchings” to “bitch” about spending time with a blind guy.
I see it as kind of like having a sibling who’s always bumming a ride off of you. Then she tells you she met this great guy, who is totally awesome. Oh, he also has no car, can you give us a ride to the movies?
Like Rocky said “Together, we fill gaps.” You kind of hope her sweetie fills gaps, rather than having the gaps line up like a rifling pattern on CSI, so you’re still the one to filling in for the two of them.
Yes it’s selfish, but it’s not terrible to feel selfish once in a while.
Nope. Judgmental snatch to the mega, and about my fourth of fifth least favorite poster here. Seems like in every thread, she’s dishing out advice on how people should lead their lives, rachel-knows-besting everyone to death, yet she’s a five-star fuck up who can’t seem to get any aspect of her life together. You name it and she’s been a ruinous failure at it: her career, education, housing, relationships, health, take your pick.
When I noticed I was incapable of responding to her sans-snark, I started ignoring her altogether. She’s not a useful human being in any manner.
This. I’ve had her ignored since January when she whined incessantly about her landlord moving a picture. Looks like that was a good call since it saved me from her crotch stink.
