Vent

I hesitate to post this as I am not sure if any family members read this. But then, they don't control my life, I am not posting anything evil or negative about them, and then again... its MY blog. A place where I can document our family, my thoughts and feelings whether happy or sad. This post is a vent, so to any who don't want to read a vent, stop reading here...

We have a great person in our life, that is truly important to us. We love them with all of our hearts and know that Avery will grow to love this person as well. The problem arises in how this person acts: Which is very selfish, rude, and they do not guard their tongue. Feelings are continually hurt, boundiers crossed and fights and they do not bring out the best in my husband and I . Of course I want to guard Avery from actions that are bad behavior. But I WILL not keep Avery from this person as they hold a key relationship with our family. When we speak to this individual, it in turn creates another problem. So we have kept our mouths shut for so long. But as a mother I can not just let bad behavior be in front of my child. Even though he can not understand now, in a few months he will. And I am tired of hearing from other family individuals and this person that its "just the way they are" That is a bunch of Bologna! It is not hard to think before you speak. And its time for this person to let go and not be so selfish. Sharing is a great thing, especially people. (sharing Avery for example) AND the words please and thank you are magic words that make everything seem better and not demanding. It is getting hard to bite our tongues and I will not keep doing it. I need people in Avery's life that are positive and a good example as how someone grow up to become. If I have to limit the relationship, I will in protection of my son. But this person seriously needs to put on their big adult underwear, and realize that its not about them, let go and grow up. I know their mother has taught them all of the rules of society, and magic words of please and thank you. And my favorite saying is "YOUR NEVER TO OLD TO CHANGE!" Just put your mind to it. You won't be perfect at first, but the effort does go along way. I will no longer accept that "its just the way I am "excuse anymore.
Vent over...for now....
