talk me down

i'm about to hit comment.

you must be referring to the van he paid for?  i'm sorry you quit your job, but it's not his job to pay for your mistakes.  take responsibility. get a job. thank you in advance.

this is in reference to an ex-aunt i never see. she just posted a status completely bashing my uncle (who has the kids most of the week yet still pays an ungodly amount of child support - and makes less than I do -  because she refuses to work.) 

the rest of the status is below:

crazy aunt: So, went to court today. I think it went well but let's face it when children are involved there really are no winners. What fails to be recognized is that it's not about the money. It's about being sick and tired of being bullied around when someone doesn't get their way.

crazy aunt: Needless to say, the other party was very angry upon leaving the court room and we discovered my van had been freshly keyed. Hmm.. wonder who did that? All I can say is, "Grow the F*CK up!" This isn't about you, it's about our kids!

random: ss to hear that hope everything went oke with the court

crazy aunt: So, now that a police report has been filed. They will hopefully be able to find out if the cameras were able to pick up anything.

random: good to hear that hope get the one who did this

random:  Oh god I'm so sorry. I hope they catch them and they pay dearly for this.

i might do it.  i'm not one for facebook drama so this would be followed by an immediate unfriending (which i plan to do regardless of whether or not i comment).

    I would just de-friend...  Oh my!!!!!!  Is it worth potentially getting in the middle of this?

  • DO IT!!!! I think she needs a good dose of reality! Anything else you need to get off your chest? say it! lol

  • i did it!  i couldn't resist.  i thought about it and went for it.

    i also added:

    ps - as an adult, you should really think twice about airing your grievances on facebook.

    i feel a strange sense of relief.  vik will LOVE this. lol.

    LOL.  Sometimes just being able to speak your mind feels so good. 
  • i really can't imagine anything that i'll end up in the middle of, so to speak.

    i have no contact with her (other than facebook) or her family.  my uncle has custody of the kids most of the time, so i don't see that being an issue either. 

    whatever. i've bit my tongue for far too long. thanks, girls :)

  • Good for you. So many times i want to say what is really on my mind but I don't deal with confrontation real well. i think if it is going to be affect your relationship with your uncles then good for you to speak your mind.
  • AAHAHHAA!! Love it! lol
  • Yes You did the right thing, no doubt. Issues like this are difficult to swallow and bite your tongue. Good job Andrea!

  • i think the worst part of this is that she seriously drives my uncle to the edge.  i question how much more he can mentally handle and, honestly, it scares me.

    :: bows down::

    I wanted to say " Do it " but I guess you beat me to the punch ! 

  • unfriend yourself and save the drama.  people are sooo stupid!
  • You've got a lot of balls!  I'm behind you on that though.  I can't stand people who *** about everything all woe-is-me like they can't do anything for themselves or think they're entitled to something.  Blergh.

    You are awesome. I was going to say do it, but you had already done it so Yes

  • Now I'm wondering her (or her friend's) response to your comment! 

    ...I'm bad. I would have waited to unfriend until I got confirmation I rattled her cage. Sometimes, I'm just in that kind of mood.

  • What is there to lose?  I am glad you did it!  Sometimes I feel that you need to just say it out it is (don't tell my priest)!  :)  Good for you, Andrea!
