Jewells of Thought

I was looking forward to working on some articles this evening. Unfortunately that idea was completely shanghaied. I am unhappy how tonight unfolded after specifically saying the word ‘No’ more once. Actually I am pretty certain it was said at least 3 different times.

Even though we didn’t sanction the arrival of some kids after saying tonight was not a good night. Guess what? They were brought over anyway after saying no. Everything we knew would happen… did happen. Kudos to Mom for keeping her wits about her. I tried to stay in my room and write, but it was not to happen from the noise.

It is so nice to be appreciated and heard. I wasn’t feeling well enough for 4 kids being here. Plus our wants were not grasped. We were bullied by little girls and a rather large woman who also is still a little girl. This is just the most recent in a long list of attacks this year of going against our family by some underhanded means. Using my niece and other little girls as the trap.

Honestly, I have never met someone so desperate for love and affection that she is willing to cave to the wants of kids even if it means spending money. My family isn’t bowing to that methodology. Time spent with my niece doing activities not needing money or devices is necessary. Tonight was just a new low in this the child knows better than the adult method that has been used.

God willing the articles I have been wanting to write will come back to me. Frustration seems to be my word for the night.

My niece is a very special little girl. We want her to succeed if she and these other girls don’t understand what ‘No’ means now including the woman who also threw us under the bus. It was her idea to have all 4 in the first place; not ours. I never had girls like this over every weekend. My brothers were brought up with boundaries.

Opposing viewpoints on parenting isn’t helping, but what do you do when the other side just doesn’t care?
