RANT!!!

mamax5

Just a rant....but my treadmill magnet is missing, the kids conveintently do not know where it is, no one gives a crap it's gone missing....I got so pissed off I threw my MP3 player not realizing what I was doing and my husband won't get off his fat bum to help me look for it....but oh, if it was something of his everyone has to look for whatever it is. To top it all off, I can't find my MP3 player(yes I know my own fault) either. No work out for me tonight. I wanted to make and hour out of the 30 mins that I did earlier! I am so pissed, no one gives a crap about my stuff! No matter how much I yell...or punish or whatever!

Can you replace it with a generic, circular magnet?

I know that sort of ruins the whole safety aspect of the device, though.

GOOD rant! I would be really P-O'ed. On the same note, my son took the little knobby that takes my treadmill from the storage position to the "I can run on it" position. @#$@# kids! ; )

Sorry for you!!

Take a page out of the Passive-Aggressive's Handbook and do the same thing next time something of his goes missing...and when he starts complaining (as he likely will), just smile sweetly and say "Well, that's the reaction I got from you the last time I couldn't find something, so I thought it was acceptable". Some people don't realize how rude they are until they are given a taste of what they're dishing out.

Sounds like you need to take your walk outside and get away from those unhelpful brats! Hang in there.

Get a magnet off the fridge from the many pics probably hanging on it. You know you could go for walk outside to blow some steam off too. Just say'n.

you sound just like me..only, i MAKE everyone help me, because when they lose something of theirs, i usually end up looking alone..on another note, i hope you get everything straightened out, and best of luck:flowerforyou:

tried a fridge magnet and it didn't work....going to try a smaller one.....I hate that my kids can act like brats....esspecially my 8yo daughter! I think I will pull that page from the passive aggressive handbook...thank you!

It can be aggravating but hang in there. Focus and keep your goal in your forethoughts. Have gone through similar problems at the beginning of my weight loss. Many times I had to do things on the QT or could not talk about it without feeling uncomfortable. It wasn't till I had lost a substantial amount of weight that my husband said he was proud of me and wish he had my drive. Now that was an NSV.

OK....he's helping look for it now and yes I am a little surprised. I feel a little better now.

If you love your husband (and I suspect that, despite his obviously low gaf factor in this instance, you do) don't do this. Trust me. Opening a can of worms is not the workout that you're seeking and this would definately piss most people off, enciting an argument that no one really wants. Take a breath, look around, I'm sure the magnet is somewhere close by. It's going to be ok.

Nowhere did I insinuate that she doesn't love her husband...at all. When someone is indifferent toward YOU, how are you supposed to respond? The way I see it, he brought the potential for an argument by being lazy and apathetic...

They're kids. Who's kids (honestly now) would help you find some that you (or more likely, they) lost?? If you have those kids, congratulations!!! Love them dearly for they are very special. However if your kids are like 98% of the juvenile population they are more likely unhelpful and more interested in playing video games, watching tv and/or hanging out with their friends. You should still love them dearly but may need some additional patience.

Oh, I do love my kids dearly...just not sure were I went wrong...my son is much more caring than my daughter. I think it's a case of first kid syndrome lol.
