[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 437984, member: 84"] Why now Shari I know you're smarter than that my dear. What with spending money on new cars, jewelry, xboxes and playstations, big ol plasma tvs and the like, of course she can't afford it. It shows where her priorities lie. And while cgfg may not be the most likeable child much of the time, she deserves better. But you know what? She sees the same thing you do, though she probably will never admit it until she finally gets fed up. She also sees where her Mom's priorities lie and it's not with her. Sad. My Mom used to say it was all about us kids growing up. phhht Yeah, ok. Not. She held down a full time minimum wage job to support us, I'll give her that. She tried to "raise us right"....I'll give her that even though it was mostly abusive as all heck. But all about us? Not by a longshot. We wore out of style handmedowns or thrift shop bargains (cheaper because they were so far out of style)......if we were lucky we had 3 outfits, 2 for school and 1 for church. She bought us school supplies at the beginning of the year and it had better last until the last day or you did without. Her? She bought new clothes all the time.....seriously it took two closets to hold them all. She went "out" more nights than she was home. If she wanted something she bought it, or got someone to buy it for her. If we wanted or even needed something we heard about how horribly poor we were. (and we really were) I had my Mom down before I was 8 yrs old. I would've never admitted it to anyone until I was an adult out from under her control. So, yeah. Cgfg probably has her mom pegged. Don't blame you for being so mad though. Katie does the same thing with her kids and it drives me up the wall. [/QUOTE]
