Emotional Exhaustion


I understand this is probably a "ME" problem. I'm exhausted from always having to be happy and upbeat and think every single thing an SK or their Mom does is just plain wonderful. It's exhausting to have to remember so many rules: can't disagree with my husband when kids are in earshot, can't show any negativity towards any decision made by SO, or Mom, or the SKs, bite my tongue if I have any opinion on anything. Have to like everything and everyone and always be positive and agreeable. Sometimes I'm tired. Sometimes I think one of you or your Mom or your Dad did something stupid. Everyone else gets to be cranky, sad, irreverent, and complain about things they don't like. I don't want to berate anyone, and I would never talk badly about the SKs Mom (I'm an SK, lived through that myself and just no) but if I'm a little down can I just be a little down, can I disagree with an SK about whether a movie is good or not without being a monster? Just sayin'.
