VENTING

Okay so this is really shallow, poor picked on me, and at times dare I say bitchy but I need to vent.

I feel there are certain people in our life's that just seem to always forget about us. People that should want us around, but aren't impressed with what we have therefore don't need us. Don't get me wrong, we are spoiled with people that love and care for us deeply. There is just some that don't really care, or if they do it sure doesn't feel that way.

So many times we find out things after the fact or little to late. I am so fed up with it. I know it is okay to get my feeling hurt but the anger I feel is not okay. I am constantly wondering what did I do wrong to make them not like me. Why am I not included in things. Why are my kids left out. Why is Jeron always the last to know. I can handle the me part, and even the Jeron part, but my kids, that always sends me over the edge. Again my kids are being left out and nobody even told us that kids were included. I just feel that if you include one kid you should include all kids. If you can't include all kids don't include your "favorite".

I know I am not giving enough details about this...for a reason though. I will ask Jeron all the time what have I done. I know for a fact these people don't get me at all. I think they think I am self righteous and that I think I am Practically Perfect in every way. This one stings a lot. I don't know why I give off that persona. I certainly don't feel that way. If you could here the things I think about myself I promise it isn't PPIEW. To tell you the truth though I am totally starting to not care at all what they think of me. Just the fact that my kids are going to get crushed by this one makes me livid.

I just wish that when you are suppose to include someone you would. I think that all to often we forget about others feeling. We don't look at the whole picture. I am still Megan. Even though I have four kids and a husband I can still be me. I hate the excuse we didn't invite you because we knew it would be hard to leave the kids. COME ON! We all can leave our kids once in a while. I guess what bugs me even more is when these people get jealous of the people that we are close to. The reason we are closer is because they include us in EVERYTHING! Please know that I am grateful everyday for the ones that care. We may not have a lot of money or can go on exotic trips but they see us, know who we are and love us simply because of who we are.

Really it just comes down to the pure fact that it hurts and it hurts bad. I am told often "WHY do you care?" I know I should really try not to but I do. I am very sensitive when people don't like me. I am even more sensitive when because of me they aren't close to my kids. I hope that I have never made anyone feel like this. It truly sucks. I can usually get over things but sometimes it stings so much I just want to wash my hands of people like this. I know that that isn't right though. So I guess I will have to turn the other cheek again. Tell me again how many times do I have to do that?



If you are reading this it probably means you are not one of the people I am talking about,because it shows you actually care.

ok so this may sound funny but reading this made me realize just how much I miss you! i can totally relate to some of the things you are talking about. After years of being married and four kids it is easy to tell that you are still you. We need to talk and catch up on everything!

I'm so sorry you got your feelings hurt, Megan. That situation totally sucks!

Jewels said...

Oh Megan I am so sorry for your pain. It is actually ironic that you would post this now, I just had a horrible incident with a bunch of neighbor kids just today! I was debating blogging about it and was bawling when Chad came home from work. Ironically our FHE lesson tonight ended up being on repentance and I somehow against all the anger built up inside me ended up on these little neighbor kids doors with a treat and apologized. I do not feel at all that I was wrong and yet I know that horrible feeling that you feel inside when your kids are being left out, I just exploded!! All I know is that you are one of the nicest people I know and I can't imagine who would make you feel so bad. If you want to vent more, please call me! I would love to get my venting off of my chest too!! Lots of love, and NO, you are not bitchy!!

Megan, I'm so sorry you feel this way! I love that other people have feelings like these too. And I should say thanks for making me feel better the other day at Marilee's too. You are great!

Maren said...

I say screw them... haha jk! But really... I feel bad about the whole thing. I wish people would just know how to be nice and treat everyone with love and respect. I'm not going to put what I really want to put because I don't know who'll be reading this. Anyway, I love you and Jeron and I wish I could be with your kids all the time. I know that doesn't make anything better, but just know that at least one sibling LOVES your kids and family! You can delete this if that said too much ;)

You have every right to have hurt feelings and feel angry. Please know that the problem does not lie with you. You have always known how to love everyone, include everyone and stick up for those who cannot do it themselves. I commend you for being so strong and pray you will find comfort in knowing that many, many people love you and your family and always will!!

I'm so sorry Megan. I honestly can't imagine anyone not loving you or your family--it is most definitely THEIR loss!!

Megan, I think it is 7 times 70, right? So you are probably half way there ;)

Sending lots of love your way.

I'm sorry that is happening. Some people just don't get it and it is all about them.

It was fun seeing you these past couple weeks! It's so fun talking to you and Jeron and your kids are so cute!!

Melanie Arkoudas said...

I so hope that I have never given you that feeling that I would not want you or my favorite kids around. I love you guys all so much. I miss hanging out with you and having Jeron make me laugh so hard. I miss the "what if...then" game with you and Jeron. I hope you know that I love you all immensely! Wish I could have visited with you longer while I was in Utah.

You are awesome, I'm glad to see that you are infact human and I am SO sorry that your feelings got hurt by somebody. I swear, people were supposed to stop being rude when the graduated from high school...right? You rock and so do your kids!
