I've come to drop in a little vent. My exSIL took it upon herself to get my 9 year daughter her first bras and a graduation gift from the 4th grade. This has me upset on a few levels. I, as her mother decides when to take my child for her first bras. I do not feel we are there yet as my daughter is as flat as a board. I also feel like it is an experience to be shared between me and my daughter. But what really upsets me is no one asked me. Not his sister, and not him, who knew. One thing I cannot stand is being disrespected as her mother. And I am going to say something to him. He should have been the one to say "why don't you ask ginger first?" You all know I tolerate a lot, but this pissed me off. And the FB profile pic that OWW has of my daughter and her in matching leggings. That also pissed me off. You have no rights to matchy matchy. Only her mother who carried her for 8 months has that right. But I'll just seethe about that here.
I met up with friends I used to work at the hospital with last night. We had such a good time. One person is a few years older than me. She had a baby at 19, go through nursing school and became an amazing nurse. The father of the child was a real douche and only partially in her life. Her dad is an anesthesiologist, they have money and helped raised the baby. The baby is now 20. She met a guy a few years ago, they dated, moved in together. She got pregnant and they got married. Her daughter is now 4. Well, she kicked her H out because she found out he was cheating on her birthday last year. Her mother got diagnosed with lung cancer with mets to the bone in September. She is living with her parents. She is an incredibly strong woman, I have always admired her. I just hate hearing of these things. She's handling everything like a champ though.
