Op is late 40s

As a female engineer who is close to 50

kids are 15 and 17 and she regularly has outbursts of anger and probably violence toward them. Then she blames it to her adhd.

Christmas is over. Everyone is in bed. They weren't complete little shits, possibly because letters were written to Santa saying that if they weren't appreciative of gifts (which weren't the computer or real magic wand that were requested), then this should be the last time Santa comes because he should give his presents to other kids who would appreciate them.

Toys were played with then kids whinged when they couldn't do something first time (I don't know how Rubik's cubes were handled before youtube videos). There was no way they were eating the delicious lunch at the Grandparents - they would hardly come to the table let alone stay at it. The Grandparents had a great backup plan of sausage rolls (which are always eaten), but because they'd been cut in quarters, they weren't good enough.

There was fighting in the car on the way home (that 15 minute drive was just too long for them today), and then there was no relaxing at home (they'd read all the books they were given for christmas while not eating lunch at the grandparents'), but they needed someone to play the games they'd gotten for christmas, and playing with each other wasn't feasible.

Then all I can see on Facebook is all these perfect pictures of perfect families on their perfect christmas day.

Maybe we'll cancel christmas next year.

These kids were rised by breakingmom poster. Will cycle continue and will they become /r/risedbynarsistic posters.
