That time of year again.

I know that you are not going to be surprised to hear this story because it is very similar to the last year. That meaning, every year when the kids come home from "daddy's", there is always a problem. This year is no different. Different problem, yes, not a different outcome. For summary purposes I will make this fast. This year the kids visit for 3 weeks (they don't want to stay longer for some reason), while up there things happen. The major issue this year was that Shy wanted a bank account. Funny, I live with her and she has NEVER brought it up before. But now she is with her Mimi and all of a sudden she can't wait another minute to have this account. Well, me knowing how Mimi is, it's just a ploy of some sort to control my daughter. So Shy was told that she would get money until she got a job. Really, do you know of any 15 yr. old girl these days that would get a job if she knew she was getting money already?? Anyhow, it happened. Without my permission, may I add. The adult woman never even called me to ask me about it. I only found out cause Shy asked me for her SS#. I said no, end of story, you would think.

So the kids get home, I already know what the deal is. My daughter has an account with money in it for her to do whatever she wants. Nope, guess what now you are back in my house. What makes Mimi think that she can control what happens in my house? Crazy freak!!! Get a hold of yourself, you're loosing it woman. So with much advisement, I take the card away from Shy. I decide now it's time to write a letter. Hmmmmmm, how shall I put this?? I was very proper in my letter, not nasty, bitchy, or anything else. I was straight to the point as to the fact I was Shy's mom and I will make these types of decisions for her. I am raising all of my kids to be self reliant when they go out in this world of ours. Responsible! My letter totaled maybe 10 sentences. Short, sweet and to the point. HER letter, pfffttt! Three pages long! LOL All about how I am a bad mother. Wow, didn't expect to get verbally attacked. Ok, someone pissed in her Cherrios! I really want to know, is this ever going to end? Her constant manipulation of my daughter. She doesn't even do this crap with the boys. Maybe she has a sick affliction for my daughter. Ewwww! Anyone know a good counselor for this woman????
