I snapped...
And it was bad. But why did she have to relate something as simple as cleaning out a cat box to how I'm going to eventually raise my children? It was the most insensitive, hurtful things she could've said to me (and it doesn't help that it's...um, yeah that time) and that just makes everything like 5 times worse. I was already exhausted from work because I was the only person at the front desk and I had to still be a PT Aide and help out the therapists so I was running around ALL day. I also know I for sure have carpal tunnel and now I'm trying to get rid of it (of course im not exactly helping it right now) so my wrist really hurts.
So I get home and tell her how I'm exhausted from work and how my wrist hurts and I sit down to watch TV for a little while and she tells me to clean out the cat box and I say OK. I was planning on doing this right before I go to bed, btw. After about half an hour she tells me again and I say OK again and then she's says no you have to do it right now (all the while I'm thinking to myself, she's been doing this to me since I was like 11 or 12 and how old am I now?). So finally I get up to go take some advil and clean out the cat box to get her off my back and she keeps coming into the kitchen probably to make sure I do it and then she starts talking about how when I have a baby I'm not going to clean its diapers or anything and let it get sick and starve and all that and I finally snap and cuss at her before I can stop myself. I feel like shit now and I'm so mad but at the same time I know I didn't mean what I said to her...Gah! I don't know what to do.
