Weekk 6 - contnued

Will wonders never cease!  My soldier nephew's wife admitted - not in so many words - that I was right after all in trying to protect my sister from idiotic and hurtful questions.  AND ... she gave me my nephew's cell phone number!!  How absolutely awesome given that today is his 25th birthday.

Nephew's wife tried to protect my sister from undue emotional stress today (even from Texas) that was about to be brought on by sister's youngest daughter by telling the immature (can't write what I want to here) ... twenty-year old that she can't go around threatening to beat the crap out of people just because she doesn't like things that are being said - whether true or not.  "Just ignore it ... walk away..."  Did my niece do this?  NO!  She had the nerve to bring the fight - or try to - to my property ...  home to both my sister - the cellar dweller - and me.  I managed to head the other young females off at the pass (so to speak), but not before threats were made by these same females to come back to do harm to my niece.

After the other girls left - unwillingly I might add - the niece had such a loud, angry potty mouth toward her mother and me that my Cancer Kid got into her daughter's face and had a few words of her own.  OH ... MY ... GOD!!!  I have never, ever seen her stand up to one of her kids.  She has always just shrugged her shoulders and walked away.  Wah Hoo, Phyl!!  Way to get some backbone!!!  You are finally taking lessons from me!  (Too bad it took cancer and chemo to bring you to this point.)  I will not tolerate being disrespected by my kids ... I don't care how old they are, and I don't care if I am right or wrong.  I will not tolerate being screamed at or sworn at by the individuals that I brought into this world!  I always reminded them that I brought them in ... I could take them out.  They knew I wouldn't really do it, but they also knew I meant business.  I not only deserve their respect, I EARNED it.

What is the matter with young ones today?  Where did respect, manners and treating another human the way you would want to be treated go?  I shake my head in wonder.
