How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Passive Aggressive Love Letters. . . .To My Family

in Uncategorized on 06/15/09

Dearest SweetGirl
When I am asking you to be quick like a Bunny because you are going to be late for school, that actually means..MOVE IT! MOVE IT! MOVE IT! Please don’t think because I am using my best Mommy sing song voice it is because I want to see your sweetest ballet move as you slowly ascend the stairs to brush your teeth. I am using that voice because if I unleash the drill Sergeant voice that is currently rumbling inside my head I will scare you and send you into reverse. Forward motion baby. Quick like a Bunny. PLEASE!!!

Dearest Hubby
Love of my life.
Please…for the love of Pete..put your undies IN the hamper.

Dear BlueEyes
I’m sorry you can’t find your favorite sweat shirt. Yes I agree it is beautiful. Does stomping your feet and whining about it make you feel better becasue you are kind of scaring me! Who is this pre-PMSing girl and what has she done with my child? Is this a small glimpse of what the teenage years will look like?
The last time I wore your sweatshirt I’m sure I put it back where it belonged!!
This really is not a crisis. Honestly it is not worth tears. Hang on baby we will find it together.

Dear Great Grandma
Oh I do love you with my entire heart. Now that this has been said, when I say “Hey Granny how are you”? It really is just a conversation starter. I don’t want a run down of your aching back, sore knee, itchy arm, cracked skin, rumbly tummy, time on toilet today and what color you coughed up this morning! If you have a new ailment that warrants discussion, by all means lay it on me. Otherwise…maybe we should just jump to the weather!

Kisses

      Cut your grandma some slack. Complaining about body parts is going to be your job one day!

      I’d love to see the letters you probably wanted to post but didn’t in case your family read them 🙂

      Just stumbled upon your blog from LouLou’s Views!

      I love this post…! I have a few passive aggressive entries I would like to a few people in my life, but fear they are readers so I keep my mouth shut! LOL!

      Thanks for sharing this!!

      LMAO you are hysterical!! I love the letters we never intend to send. I love the granny one….why is it we ask and get a newspaper full of their day! Move it…definitely applies to my son, he is king of putzing!

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.
