Buried at PhotoCasket.comhave you ever had a friend that just sucked everything out of you but never really gave much back? i have such a friend. she has passed in and out of my life for years, generally taking my stuff and disappearing. but she has these kids that i baby sat as practically babies, and i find i have a hard time letting them suffer for their parents ineptitude. funny thing is, oh, they couldn't get any food and could i please help, but when i finally said i couldn't anymore, they still managed to get food. i almost bankrupted my family trying to help hers and i'll probably never get any of it back. and then there are the kids, who are wild as banshees running around. while i let the kids stay here for a week because they were all crammed into one motel room, supposedly with no food, they caused all kinds of damage, drove my husband crazy, and then i had to explain exactly why they had to come home. after a week. i'm sorry but my kid is gone a couple of days, i'm wanting him home. you start to miss the little demon. but not these people. i have never seen anything like it. now they are gone, again, but i know kinda where they are. and i'm planning on attempting to keep tabs on them, they owe me a lot of money. i think i have learned my lesson though, i won't be so soft hearted next time. i tend to let people take advantage of my good will and i'm not going to do it anymore. i've let people say things about me without standing up and saying it was wrong, even when my child was dragged in. i was being the better person. i'm tired of always being the better person and letting others be jerks whenever they want to be. i don't think i'll take things lying down so much anymore.
