Entitled, spoiled people. And I am talking about a parent!

DCM comes to pick up and tells me "I am going to go for two weeks to get my STNA training since I hate my job, the state is paying for it". She then goes on to tell me she still has to figure out how she is going to pay me blah blah. Anyway I told her what I know about it and told her that since it is a job with a high turnover rate to expect to get put on night shifts when she gets a job. She then tells me "I can't work nights because I am a diabetic and the insulin I am on works better when I sleep at night". Ok DH and I are both diabetic, and neither of us is on insulin but both have med schedules for daytime. But each of us sometimes has to work nights so we work it out. Or we talk to the doctor to work out our meds. I guess it just irks me when people have tons of excuses their actions, and to get out of doing things they don't want to do. She also "can't work in a factory because the heat messes up my blood sugar". Geesh


Anyone else have and I hate???

I definitely hate entitled people too. I will tell you to keep an eye on her in case she starts paying late. The worst thing I hate is those who do not see a positive side to life. I will log on my Facebook for example, and I will see depressing statuses. I will be chatting with a group of my friends and they are depressed too. They dont have the condition, but they are not motivating themselves to have fun. I help them as much as I can, but it took a toll on me, so I have referred them to someone else.

I also hate the folks ridkng the excuse train. They are avoiding taking responsibility for their actions. This mom you talked about is doing that. If she is truly worried about her health that much, she needs to talk to her doctor about it. I am not an expert by any means on this topic, but it sounds like she needs to brush up on taking care of herself the right way. You have mentioned that you and your husband are at least taking care of your Diabetes the right way as best as you can .

lol....we have a good friend who says these things all of the time and I laugh so hard when he says them and tell him I thought you were smarter than that. But in his defense, he practically raised himself and had no rules, discipline or boundaries, so at least he is trying something. well without really trying....lol
