also as a society plagued by wealth inequality and rising cost of living we really need to address how we show love through money. like I offered to come over to help them decorate their new house so many times and they kept refusing me 😞 I wanted to help them paint! but noooooooo

#like I get it she's a control freak and she just wanted her husband to do the painting #but I dunno it's like. that is something i would have enjoyed doing and I'd rather do twenty different odd jobs around your new house #than scroll an amazon registry #and I get that I should just shut up and fork over the cash and just accept it gracefully ...#and to be very clear that is what I am doing. that is what I did. I already ordered an item off their registry.#but I dunno I just wish there was a way to show a sense of community outside of money #can't bring them food because she has gestationaldiabetes and has to watch her diet and idk what she can eat #can't help them set uo their house because she was being a control freak about it #can't watch the baby once theyre born for her because I don't know how to do that (lol)#can't come over and clean for her once the baby is here because she already told me she doesnt want ppl doing that #so instead I just have to stare at my budget knowing that the money is almost inconsequential to them but precious to me #and just have to decide how cheap I can stretch my grocery budget to compensate #I just hate how this is the only venue I am given to like. support my friend through pregnancy. anyways.#it's not about me whatever yeah yeah but if I'm so goddamn gracious and understanding and compassionate and caring IRL I need somewhere to #come vent my dark bitter underbelly thoughts. and that is tumblr dot com.
