Re: Re: I won't let her spoil my good time!--Sheri

Hi Sheri,

You are right, my sister has her head in the wrong place. I think she is

trying to keep up with her in-laws. They all have their children in Catholic

schools. I also think that she is lazy in helping her children. It is

easier for her to complain about everyone else. One example: Her son,

, who is 5, took a pair of scissors and cut his hair last week. He also

cut the cat's hair. This is not the first time he has done this. I asked

him if his mother beat his ass. Seriously, I think this is dangerous

behavior and a spanking is appropriate, especially since this is not the

first time. He looked at me, laughed, and said no in a way that was like,

" Yeah right " and turned and ran out of the room. My first question was, " Why

is he playing with scissors in the first place if he has shown that he can't

be responsible with them? " and, " Where was the supervision when he did this? "

But nobody dares say anything to her about her " perfect " children. So

explaining that maybe needs help hasn't done any good. It is all

about and no one else. Poor . My mother gave her a Hooked on

Phonics set and she returned it and said that it didn't work, but my mother

said that she could tell that the box was never opened. It is sad that her

children are going to pay the price for her pitiful behavior. Her daughter

is going to grow up to depend on everyone else and her son is going to end up

in prison. It is very sad. If she would only pay attention. But that is

too much work for her, or it runs into her Bingo time. Oh dear, I need to

get off this subject.

I am glad that you are doing what is best for your daughter. Sometimes it is

the hardest thing to do what is right. She may be a few years behind the

others at her age, but every step she takes is a big accomplishment none the

less. I can see that you are proud of her and take the time to help her

along the way. That is the best kind of mom there is. Thumbs up for you.

Love and Hugs,

Stacey in PA
