The family reunion was just a couple weeks ago. I love my family more than anything. Every family has it's drama, and I understand that. However, there are certain family members that I would just like to strangle sometimes. Story of everyone's family. I have a cousin, aunt and they are both on my nerves highly right now. I know that life is tough. I understand that there are things that upset people and make it hard to go through the day, however I believe that you have to live with your decisions in life. You don't get to blame anyone else for them. That is why they are YOUR decisions.
My cousin has two beautiful little girls and they are already becoming a handful because she doesn't take care of them. They are 12 and 14. Which are super critical ages for girls. Hello puberty, periods, and hormones that we have no idea how to control. I know when I was their age I couldn't get through the day without wanting to cry and eat a piece of chocolate. However, because of their mother's poor decisions, they have gone without. This is the time in a kids life when fashion and fitting in are a huge deal. Yet their mother spends more time on buying and doing drugs than spending time with her girls. They don't talk to their mother because she is kind of crazy at times. I understand that. I wish I could help. They live about an hour away and that makes it difficult to be there for them all the time. I really would like to get the oldest on birth control. I would hate to see her repeat her mother's mistakes, but her mother doesnt take the time to tell her that they were indeed, mistakes. I am hoping that I can get closer with them and hopefully pull them from this rut that they are in. They need guidance not beer.
I was informed today that my aunt might lose her house. Now, most people would feel sorry for her and want to help, however, this house was given to her. GIVEN. It was completely free and it is a beautiful house. Our family gave that house to her when my grandmother passed away. Now she is going to lose the house because she didn't pay the property taxes on it. She makes just as much as my family by herself and can't afford to pay for the property taxes. That is aggravating. She would also rather have drugs though. It drives me nuts! Then, after all of that, she complains that she isn't getting enough help. NO ONE gets help. You are a grown ass woman, it is about time to start behaving as such. Anyway, I feel as though my rant has gone long enough for this post. Until tomorrow,
Hugs and Kisses.
