Just a Little Venting......

I'm truly appalled at the selfishness of some people. Well just one person, actually. I will leave names out for the protection of the innocent. But the selfish person we'll call Satan because she's not far from it. Satan is the most fake, horrible person I think I've ever known. Yet she has money coming out of her ears. How fair is that? It's not. And the money isn't due to her selfish ways. She's always been horrible, rich or not. She treats her children so unfairly, except the "baby". Baby gets whatever, whenever she wants. Satan always wants to appear as though she is a loving, caring mother which couldn't be farther from the truth. She only shows up when she has a chance to be seen by others and claim to be this model parent. But when the audience is gone, she ignores her children and grandchildren, she lies, she says hurtful things, and she doesn't care that her children are in constant mental anguish because of her. Every holiday is spent on eggshells, every birthday a disappointment, and even the simplest requests for an evening at grandma's are ignored because it might interfer with her plans or Baby's schedule. Never mind that she lives 5 minutes away and her grandchildren are sweet as pie. And Baby is being the perfect apprentice to take over for Satan when she goes- though I don't think that's ever going to happen because I'm not sure she's human. But if/when it does, the only reason I'm going to her funeral is to make sure she's actually dead. It makes me so sad for her other children and grandkids, and also makes me so grateful for the wonderful mother and grandmother that I have. No one's mother is perfect and we all make mistakes. I've made plenty in my life and I know I'll make more. But this woman has got us all beat. So the next time your mom is getting on your nerves or "butting in" your life, take a deep breath. Remember all the good things she's done for you and all the times she's bailed you out, literally or figuratively. :-) And be grateful that you don't have Satan for a mother.
