So I have this cousin, a woman I grew up with who is like a sister to me. She has two kids, one is a 12 year old daughter that I adore and who is civilized, and the other is a 6 year old boy who is completely off the chain out of control and worse, is a habitual theif.
Needless to say, I don't really want to invite the whole family over, which sucks because I'd like them all over for my daughter's birtday in the early fall. But I know it's gonna be a complete mess if I have the boy over, because my cousin does not watch him at all.
I like to entertain in my home, and I like home birthday parties. This creates a rather shitty situation for me.
I just learned last night that her brother won't have them over to his house, either, which my cousin has taken as a personal affront, which I suppose it is.
"his wife is a bitch" she says. That may be the case, as I don't know my other cousin's wife that well.But I bet I know why she doesn't want the kids over there.
Really, I do not understand why my cousin is such a weak parent as to let this 6 year run all over the way she does. I have no doubt that's why she's been barred from her brothers house, and now I don't see much option other than bar her from mine. Even my mom is not comfortable having them over.
Really is getting me down today.
