Blame Game

[brilliant100]

*VENT*

I find myself wanting to blame everyone and thing around me for the dumbest things.

My mother-in-law is one of the most kind hearted people I have ever met yet..........I have to stop myself from complaining to hubby when she does the slightest thing. I really want to get past this. The things that bug me are dumb and really are 'small stuff'. She does so many loving things for me and her grandchild

I find myself blaming hubby for dumb things too. He is an AWESOME father and husband. WTH is wrong with me!!!


done venting.......................................

I think we can focus on the good stuff or the bad stuff..and it colors our world and our view of it.

One think that has helped me is to be thankful in all situations..You can start
writing down things you are thankful for..and be specific..I am thankful that
my minlaw made us cookies..(whatever..you get the idea). This will change your outlook..

I know what you mean, and how frustrating it is. You know you "shouldn't" but geesh, sometimes it does feel good to have it be someone else's fault! One thing that I've found that helps me, besides Carolyn's thought to write out what you're thankful for, is asking more people to help me. I think I "blame" others, even my DH and kids, who really do TRY, because I am feeling overwhelmed and unappreciated. Asking for more help - remembering that everyone should pull their own weight, rather than me doing it all and then wanting to blame others because they didn't offer - seems to really be helping me out. Might want to take a look at your own load of responsibilities, and see if that might be part of your "blame game."
