my Mom is asking for hivemind help, or as she put it...
hey, would you consider putting M's situation on the buffy board and see what comes up............??
So here it is: My sister is still recovering financially from the guy she is not yet legally divorced from. Her previous ex, a deadbeat alcoholic, just moved in with her. When Mom tried to bring up the insanity of this, M said, "he is my boyfriend, if you want me to be happy, I am." The thing is, when her husband finally left town, M blamed the marriage on Mom and Dad and asked why they didn't try to stop her. I'm pushing for an intervention. I think M needs help and refuses to admit it. What do you guys think?
freaking awesome pesto from Fresh & Easy...
I told her she should donate $25 to No on Prop 8 and ask Dan Savage.
Laga, my thought is that you and your mom should just let your sister be. She's an adult.
And because she's an adult, if she ever says something like, "why didn't you try to stop me?" if this present relationship doesn't work out, your answer is very simple:
"Because you're an adult."
And, javachik for the win.
javachik is all kinds of win these days!
I've got about 2000 posts left in Natter 60 and people are talking about cat puke. How wonderful is my kitty? She runs into the litter box to puke. I'm not sure I deserve such a thoughtful cat.
Oh lord javachik, I am so sorry.
ugh, that sucks Java. Sorry about the extra work.
Oh, javachik, I'm sorry. This feeling sucks.
Laga, I agree with what all others said. If she insists acting like a toddler, be there for her, but don't support this behavior. Or just, you know, buy "Gentlemen" for her. Also, I'm ready with the huge reality check club of mine at all times.
IOmeN, parental unit drove me crazy over the weekend, after we saw my grandfather. I'm so glad I left home, you know? I went to Jose Gonzales show last night, and combining with my favorite person to go to shows with, it was good. I smiled, I laughed, and things are... pinker, I guess.
