Stupid Pet Peeves

My family. **** them. I’m done with them. I guess it’s just me, the wife, and our kids.
 
It doesn't always bug me... but judgy people.
It wears me down and I just get sick of the judginess.
We don't have to be this way. Let it go, and let people be people.

Yes I know I'm judging just by saying this, catch 22.

I hear you. It sucks.

Sometimes families go psycho. I have no other way to describe it. People that were nice, cool, family before start taking crazy pills or something and it all blows up.

Hang in there, I'm with you.

I am there with most of the extended family on my side, mostly my siblings. We had a falling out and I simply don't care if we ever re-connect. We are still civil, I still see them and interact when we go for Christmas or whatnot, but after my parents pass away I will likely rarely if ever see them again. I was sad about it at first (well actually pretty damn mad initially) a few years ago but I have come to terms with it and just don't really care now.

I would expect a post like this from someone like you.
 
Temperatures above 85 degrees (except cooking and body temps). Day after day of upper 90s is killing me.

I had that situation with my older brother. We didn’t talk for like 5 years. It was his doing/choice, but I was indifferent about it. Then one day out of the blue he called me and was like “hey, it’s been a while. Let’s bury it and move on”. I literally almost fell off my ladder.

This time it’s my younger brother. For some reason (I’ve never heard the actual reason), he hates my wife. It’s gotten to the point where he won’t even acknowledge she exists, unless it’s to blow up at her. My middle daughter is turning eights and getting baptized in two weeks. I didn’t invite him to the baptism and my parents are losing their **** on me. They’re telling I’m starting a war in the family and stupidity like that. When I bring up they way he treats my wife and kids (always short and snappy with them, if he speaks to them at all) they tell me we need to be the bigger people. I’m done being the better person with him. It lasts for a year or so, then he blows up again. I’m done with that *******.

One of the first things I learned in therapy was to rid my life of toxic people. It isn't about just cutting them out and being mean about it, but distancing myself from people that don't contribute to my mental and emotional well-being. I see nothing wrong with your approach. I have had a few friends and family members, who I might run into at the mall or something, say stuff like "hey it's been a while, why don't you call/text/come by/whatever?" I just tell them life got busy. I think we need, and as Christians are expressly required, to love and forgive others, but it does not mean we are required to invite them fully into our lives and completely disregard our own, or our family's, well-being. I can love and forgive from a distance, and with some people it is the only way.

It's a joke how much people blow their money on those things. I mean, do what you want, but spending money on fireworks is silly to me.

Agreed
 
I was in Tucson yesterday and it was ****ing 102 degrees at 7:30 PM. What the **** is that?

Yeah it was hovering close to 100 here at midnight (inland empire near L.A.). Gonna get worse before it gets better. Phoenix and Tucson are generally way worse though, but for some reason we have really been holding onto the heat lately. My wife loves it, I hate it.
 
My oldest has a tournament this weekend in the Park City/Heber area. Soccer refs who are too fat, old, lazy, or hobbled to move enough to be effective.
