-- I think if I learned anything at the family reunion before I stormed out in tears, it's that maybe you should refrain from calling moms who don't breastfeed selfish if you can't remember whether or not the mom sitting next to you breastfed her two kids. Awkward didn't even begin to describe that particular moment.

-- So let's see. First I was annoyed when my relatives would tell me, "We didn't get you anything because we knew you wouldn't get us anything," at Christmas, and now I've got a new trigger in, "Well, maybe you wouldn't be broke if you'd stop spending your money on crap." Oh, I'm sorry. Which useless crap would you like me to stop wasting my money on, electricity or water?

It's just really goddamn annoying when your entire family thinks you're irresponsible, selfish and lazy. I mean, the girl who ran away after she flunked out of college couldn't possibly be depressed, right? *eye roll*

-- Today all I plan to do is make sure I've got a file on my desktop for the original fics I've got planned and straighten up the apartment. Of course, knowing me, I'll probably not get either thing done. *hands in air*

-- I really need to start exercising again, if only because I can't afford to buy new clothes.

You called someone selfish because they didn't breastfeed their kids?

Not me, someone else. My aunt was watching her breastfeed her newborn and the breastfeeding mom said that moms who don't breastfeed are just selfish, and my aunt kind of flinched and went, "Huh. I must be really selfish then."

breastfeeding mom said that moms who don't breastfeed are just selfish . . .

wow! Talk about tactless. She's lucky your aunt just flinched. My aunt, who would have loved to have breastfed her own children but was prevented for various medical reasons (theirs and hers) from doing so, would have removed the child gently, placed it in the care of some other adult and then smacked Breastfeeding Mom.
