No, I told her that I didn't feel the need to discuss anyone but him with her.

People get really defensive when they get told the truth about a child's behavior. I'm sure I've heard it all: 'they're just children', 'you're overreacting', oh and the one I heard a lot in our former home: 'well, your kid isn't perfect' and then launch into all of DD's faults. It very effectively took the attention off their own little brats' behavior.
Now I KNOW DD isn't perfect; in fact there are many days when she drives me absolutely NUTS. But that shouldn't exempt others from their own bad behavior. Accountability has simply faded for most people.

This family has a history of this too. Their oldest daughter was caught sneaking out with a boy on one of the church mission trips that Dave went on, and they all but called everyone who witnessed it liars. That was the last trip Dave chaperoned.

I guess church is merely a social visit, then? :rolleyes: Heaven forbid they learn something like 'lying is bad' or anything! :lol:

Anywho, it's time to put the boy to bed, and tune in to 'Ghost Hunters' :D
Have a good evening everyone! :wave:

Hi Dan! :wave: Did you have a nice birthday?

No, it was terrible. Monday, George wasn't feeling good so I had to take him to the hospital, then my back was hurting so I took 2 muscle relaxers. I was awaken by George Tuesday morning, saying my grandmother needed to go to the hospital. I was so groggy I could bearly function. I asked George to take me, but he didn't want to, so I went alone.
I get to my grandmother and she isn't on her oxygen. I grab the portable to take her to the hospital and it's empty. I give her the breathing tube anyway and tell her that it's on that you have to breath in to make it work. She tells me it works well. :shrug: So I knew right there she was trying to get attention. Spent the day with her, then my mother comes after work and I have to go to a parade to help george. My mother tells me to go over to the house and get my gift, which were pillows that I wanted, just the wrong ones.
I then run off to help George with the parade, we do that , then go to eat at a food tent for dinner and then home. A lot of friends at the parade and no one wished me a happy birthday. :mad:

The only nice thing was everyone here wished me a Happy Birthday, and that meant a lot for me. :)

Sorry to unload like this. I have been in a bad mood for two days.
