I need to vent...

[Riven]

So... I have this friend, she is spoiled. She doesn't work, she doesn't work out... she doesn't make money doing anything, she doesn't clean her house, she doesn't usually cook, she doesn't properly vaccinate her dogs ( that's a WHOLE different story )... basically she goes and picks up her husbands pay check at lunch the day he gets paid, and goes shopping for the next two days, then doesn't have money by Friday... her daughter has tons of clothes, and every new doll available, she literally stalks the stores for these dolls, but their house is literally falling down, the porch is way unsafe, the roof... I don't even know how it doesn't leak, it needs painted, they have a washroom added on that's like falling apart... Just poor priorities with money. And always an excuse... she couldn't start counting her calories because she didn't have any healthy food in the house... Uhm... okay, then don't whine how you're obese because you don't work out either, always an excuse for that as well.

So one day my kids get out of school early, or didn't have school and I did. So she brought them to town when she came in so we could do some shoe and coat shopping for the winter season. So she stops by while I'm on lunch so I can give the girls money for lunch and if they wanted to buy something while they were in the mall, but before getting there Hailey tells me that she told them they couldn't make duct tape flowers and jewelry ( it's a fad deal going on) to sell anymore because her daughter was making them first and that's not fair...

:hmm:

SOOOO I confront her about this because I was so in awe and anger that an adult could be this childish... And she says well, if they're going to keep making them then we won't ( mind you she supposedly was going to take her daughter to a craft fair with all of their duct tape items at this time ) and I said, that's dumb... my girls made beaded jewelry before yours but I've never said she can't make that... and she says right to my face, three girls in the backseat as my witness... "well she's not making anything beaded..."

So today was there craft fair and guess what she posts a pic and it was ALL beaded jewelry. I've been avoiding her, which is easy with school, because I simply am getting tired of the irresponsibility and childishness that she brings with her.

I figured I'd be a bit childish and I posted on it... I thought she wasn't making any beaded items... I don't expect a reply on it, but it's one thing to be childish, it's another thing to be a liar.

My biggest thing is sometime her (very annoying ) daughter plays with my kids, and we live a block away from each other in a town of 600 people...

Her daughter hasn't been over to play for quite a while because it got to the point I can't stand her, she's in your face and needs to know everything, even when I tell her repeatedly it's none of her business... So in the last couple weeks I've distanced the whole family actually...

It's not fair to punish your kids for her behavior or your feelings toward her, and you clearly see that. Just distance her and ignore her strange requests. Your daughters can make whatever they want. She doesn't have the right to squelch their creativity. You'll probably have to lay down the law with her daughter, if you want her to get out of your business. Keeping your nose out of other people's business is an important life's lesson anyway. Just remember what's best for your kids, even if it's rough on you.
