From ex factor to home alone, the drama continues. Yesterday, over dinner, mom and I were talking about the home alone developing home alone drama. We're both of like mind on the subject and everyone we've talked to about it also agrees that the parents are brainless twats for leaving two minor children home alone for the weekend. Anyway, mom put out the idea of just showing up with a bag and staying over, banking on the fact that no one is going to kick her out. Of course mom has to play out all these what-if scenarios, chief which, the teenage nephew is suddenly intoxicated with power and orders mom out. The other outcome of this hypothetical is that sis and the BIL stop speaking to her. Can you believe such nonsense? a 15-1/2 year old slacker telling a grown adult to get out of his house because he wants to spend quality with his little brother. So many things wrong with that scenario. First, it's utter bollocks. Second, what right does a 15-1/2 year old slacker have telling an adult, especially a senior citizen, to get out of his house. Third, who made sis and BIL my mom's higher power. Fourth, mom loves to cast herself as the poor suffering victim. On that last point, the ex was the same way, constantly playing the "poor pitiful me" card. This outrageous hypothetical is just part of mom's unseemly obsession with the grandchildren. She's so frightened of not having full time access to the grandchildren, that she will metaphorically kowtow to sis and BIL. Heaven forbid she should do or say anything to upset sis and BIL, her higher powers. The whole thing is just smacks of irresponsible parent from the start and mom trying out her hypothetical is just part of the saga. My feeling on the subject is pretty clear with one rule, "count me out."
