[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 397871, member: 84"] Odd, but Nichole was asking me what I do with the anger this afternoon.................... She came over to do laundry hoping either Katie or M would drop in so she could rip them a new one herself. She can't understand why I don't just lose it on them in a huge way. I dunno. I do get angry, furious actually, from time to time. And there has been more than once I've wanted to deck both katie and M..........well with M I have a whole fantasy life of creative ways to help him meet his maker going on......lol But much of the time I find that laughter does it for me. I mean c'mon..........their lies are out right pathetic, completely unbelievable, and they do it so[B] horribly[/B]. The whopper stories that come out of M's mouth are so outragious that I'm usually sitting there thinking "You seriously think I'm actually buying this garbage?" And I have all I can do to keep a straight face............and well I confess, I've busted up laughing on him more than once. It does seem if I spend more than 3 days with them I am ready to commit murder. That appears to be my limit. I am human, afterall, and I can only take so many outlandish tall tales, outright lies, and complete utter laziness while wanting to mooch off me, the system, or anyone who happens to come along. So humor only works to a certain point. But humor has carried me through many a year living with difficult children. Katie has always been this way, but as an adult it is much much more intensified, so I'm rather used to it with her. I ignore what comes out of her mouth and make her do whatever it is she is supposed to do anyway, just as I did when she was growing up. Since Katie is used to that..........she does it because she knows bucking me doesn't work. I am the Queen of Passive Aggression, I was taught by the best. M is just an utter disaster of a human being, no other way to put it. And like you, I do distance myself from Katie and M as much as possible because I know I've got that 3 day limit thing and if it goes past that I'm likely to just blow a gasket. I figure the world has a far better chance of teaching them than I do of them listening to me. Although I don't expect them to learn.......I expect shortly they will lose the kids.....which they will of course blame everyone but themselves.......and they'll wind up begging on the streets or worse. I don't understand the mentality. So I also spend a lot of my time just shaking my head in utter amazement at their stupidity and lack of common sense.:groooansmileyf::sigh: [/QUOTE]
