  • try enraged

    So my league has been hunting for homes and this rink, who wanted nothing to do with us for a damn long time, has decided to let us skate there which is really fucking great because we need some place to practice, but they won't let us bring kids to practice

    If I go to practice it is because I am not working and can take Weed with me.  Not being able to take kids effectively kicks me off the league.  I can not express in words how fucking pissed off I am.  Worse than that I am sad, sad, sad.  Not being able to skate is truly devastating.  Really.

    Not being able to skate means I am cranky and depressed and drinking way more than I should be.  Not only that, it means I am cut off from my community because roller girls become your best friends and your family.  I feel completely fucking isolated and totally fucking enraged.

    Luckily I don't have any ice cream in the house and I do have a bottle of good red wine.

  • That is kind of bullshit about not being able to bring your kids. I wonder, though, if they could be more clear, like an age. I see where screaming babies and wacky inquisitive toddlers could be an exhausting idea to any public place. Maybe you could drink a lot, rage a little, then get up in the morning and ask about what this all means. Your daughter does not need a baby sitter. I hope you check this out. You need to be happy and you do not ask for that much. I support the red wine, the skating and the questioning of "authority". xxoo C
  • what kind of stupid skating rink doesn't want kids around??
  • who are they to say you can't bring kids??!? *snarls, kicks chair over* i mean, unless they are serving alcohol there, or there is pornography, or some other legitimate business reason suggests that kids can't be at a fucking *skating rink* i would take that bullshit edict all the way to the mat.

    because it's not my league, and i have nothing to lose if they try to kick my whole team out because i was a belligerent asshole about it.

    but i'm pretty sure i would be.

    *head explodes*

    what the FUCK, man. they are kids! it's not the fucking end of the world if a kid steps onto the premises, that shit seriously pisses me off.
  • this fucking sucks. if i lived near you, and we were friends, i'd hang out with Weed for a while however many times a week so you could skate, although i sense that's not why you have a problem with the situation.
  • What?!?!
    OH SHIT NO. how can this be possible? it makes no sense whatsoever!!

    can you guys break practice up into different days and pool childcare? can you set the roller-rink manager on fucking fire? can weed's daddy take her? you have ONE MILLION friends on facebook, can you swap childcare for a home-cooked meal? CAN YOU SET THAT GUY ON FUCKING FIRE
  • Yes. I have been dealing with separation rage/anxiety for a couple of months. I have been in super deep grief. There are other options, but they require moving heaven and earth to make them happen, and I'm not able to do that right now. Hurts. So. Much.
  • oh honey!  i know hypotheticals don't help you here, but i wish i were there so i could provide emergency babysitting! 
  • also, what would happen if you just snuck weed in one day with a good book and some sketch pads and art supplies?  if they saw how *good* she is, would it even matter anymore?
  • That really, really sucks. I'm so sorry. Maybe they'll change their minds? What an odd, odd restriction.
  • zap!
    Sure there's other mothers in the league with your predicament, so why not pool your contacts together and have a babysitting rotation?
