Maybe More People Should Think 1st BEFORE They Breed.....
I Didn't Ask
I didn't ask to be born of parents who don't care.
Parents so engrossed in a life they can't possibly share.
I only count on myself that's the only stability I know.
I can't depend on parents who are the stars of their own show.
I'm not proud of who they are or of what they've become.
I can't have pride for anyone who thinks they are the only one.
Maybe more thought should be given when you want a child of your own.
Think what type of life you will give, and what kind of a home.
Anyone can breed, that's an unfortunate fact.
But it takes someone special to form a parental pact.

The Fall....
The Fall
I don't need a mother or a mother's love.
I'll never have the kind of mother others speak fondly of.
I don't believe in fairytales or happily ever after.
And, I certainly don't believe in my mother's laughter.
I don't do tea parties, or shopping trips galore.
For I don't buy into that relationship - not a worthwhile chore.
I don't trust a mother to truly love me at all.
For I know that inevitably a mother's love will fall.

My Thoughts....
The Vacancy
I didn't ask to be a part of your life, nor did I have a choice.
As an adult I have learned to speak up and use my voice.
You can hurt me no longer with your petty games and mind-play.
And, I don't really need to listen to anything that you say.
I've grown accustomed to the vacancy in that motherly role.
I'm better off without you as your damage has taken it's toll.
I no longer trust that what people say is genuine and real.
For I dare not show anyone how I hurt and really feel.
Just because you're a mother does not mean you're pure at heart.
It doesn't mean you can lash out and have anger off the chart.
I pity the people who have to tolerate what I've had to silently endure.
All I can do is focus on my beautiful son, of that I am most sure.

My Biggest Pet Peeve.....
My biggest pet peeve is people who are consistently late and have to make their "grand entrance" while others have to wait for them. I personally feel that my time is valuable and I DO NOT have any obligation whatsoever to wait for some little diva to make her entrance. I am of the opinion that people who make others wait on a consistent basis do so for a need of attention (to feel important) and to make sure others know that they are in control (a power-trip) because they aren't in control of any other situation in their lives.
I am offended and disgusted by the little divas in the world who think noone else's time is important - they have the opinion that the whole world is in place just to wait on their behalf.
So, here's the deal.....the next time someone disrespects me and cannot show up somewhere on time.....I will walk out and you will need to reschedule your time with me. I'm not bowing down to the chronically tardy divas any longer. It's one thing to be late once in a while, but quite another when you simply have a case of not being able to get your head out of your butt. Keep this in mind the next time you want me to associate with you in some way.

Always Late? Find Out Why
It's high time to figure out what's making you perpetually behind. Here, strategies to help you get out of the lateness rut.
By Keith Ablow, M.D.
Some years ago when I was chief resident in psychiatry at the New England Medical Center, I decided it was finally time to enter therapy myself. I was dating the woman who would later become my wife and I wanted to explore why I hadn't yet committed to her.
So I booked an appointment with a noted psychiatrist, about 10 miles from my home, and left early enough to get there on time. But 35 minutes later, I was lost amid curving backstreets — and already 15 minutes late.
I called the psychiatrist, apologized, and suggested we reschedule for another day. "Haven't you been avoiding therapy long enough?" he asked me.
I thought about it. Part of me wanted to dismiss the idea that my ambivalence could have turned me round and round until I was too late for my session. It seemed almost comical to think that I couldn't even commit to figuring out why I couldn't commit in a relationship. But I'd learned enough about the mind's defenses to know it was possible. It was also true that I had waited until my final year of psychiatric training to start out on the road to therapy.
"Yes," I said. "It's been long enough."
"Then keep trying to find me," he said. "I'll wait for you, no matter how much you wish I wouldn't."
Now, with the benefit of that therapy and 15 years spent treating my own patients, I know that being late is a way many of us express a range of hidden emotions — including avoidance of uncomfortable situations. Here's what your lack of punctuality might be saying about you — or someone you care about — and the keys to making a change.
1. "I feel anxious"
Many people make themselves late, whether once or repeatedly, when heading to a job or to meet friends, because they feel apprehensive or stressed. It's as if deep, unresolved emotions are acting as resistors in the mind's circuitry, redirecting us away from the source of our discomfort.
If you find yourself 20 minutes late for lunch with a few friends three times in a row, it's time to wonder what's making you want to avoid them: Are the restaurants where you're meeting too pricey for your budget? At the back of your mind, are you worried that socializing is taking time from work you ought to be doing? Does someone in the group consistently pressure you to talk more openly about your kids or marriage than you wish to?
Once you've homed in on the underlying reason for your feelings, you need to decide how to address it. Planning is the enemy of anxiety. If the menu's beyond your budget, send a group e-mail suggesting a couple of "great food, great deal" restaurant choices. Your colleagues should get the idea that they're stressing you out with the four-star routine and dial it back. If it's that you're leaving too much unfinished work, plan to devote two extra hours to it the day or evening before. Whether or not you manage to cross everything off your to-do list, you've already earned your two-hour lunch break. And if someone's behavior makes you dread your next get-together, choose a time and place to raise the issue with her in a direct yet conciliatory way. The post-lunch phone call might start off, "I was thinking about how much I look forward to these lunches, for the most part. But there's something I'm not feeling so great about that I'd like to talk over with you."
2. "I'm showing who's in power"
It's one thing to think, We're good friends. If I'm a few minutes late it won't matter. It's quite another to think, She knows I'm busier than she is. It isn't a big deal if she waits a few minutes for me to get there. People who use lateness to signify they are special or more powerful than those they keep waiting may not plan to show up late, but there's often a quiet running commentary at the back of their mind suggesting that others will — and really should — wait for them.
I once coached an executive who was repeatedly late to meetings with the team working under her. It had come to the attention of her boss, who was unhappy about it. When I explored the reasons for the pattern, she admitted it was rarely the case that a true emergency prevented her from being on time. "Do you worry whether your team really accepts you as their leader?" I asked her.
She smiled. "It isn't like any of them ever leave before I get there," she said. Exactly. Waiting is a form of deference. And it can mean the late person wants — or needs — to be reminded she is superior and in control. It sounded to me like my client might be keeping people waiting for exactly this reason. "There are lots of ways you've proven yourself as a leader," I told her. "Once you believe that yourself, you won't need to keep testing people to see if you've proven it to them."
If someone you care about is pulling rank by always running late, lead by sharing your own feelings in a supportive way. Remember, your friend or coworker or husband may not even realize that she or he is locked in a hurtful pattern. Here's what you might say: "I've got to tell you, when you're 20 minutes late — and it happens a fair amount — I start feeling like a second-class citizen. I doubt you want me to feel that way. Could we agree from now on to meet at a time that actually works for both of us?"
3. "I need to know I'm loved"
I once treated a client who was chronically late to appointments with me.
"I don't think you've made it here on time more than twice out of a dozen visits," I told him, finally. "Any reason you can think of?"
He shook his head. "I've always had trouble getting where I'm supposed to be," he said. "My dad used to just take off without me whenever it happened."
"When did it happen with your father?" I asked.
"Not often. Once in a while going to school. My dad drove me, but if I was late — even by a minute — he'd just leave, and I'd have to find a way to get there on my own."
"He was unfair," I said. "And he wasn't loving, at those times."
One way we may gauge the affection of others is to test whether they will sacrifice their time. If you keep your husband waiting for updates on your schedule, figure out why: Do you feel he should be more involved in planning dinners or resent that he complained about the last two weekend outings that you had arranged? Turn your insight into a confession of sorts: "I was thinking about why I've been keeping you in the dark until the last minute. And I may have figured it out. We used to alternate planning things for the kids. But lately, it's been all me. I know that's just the way it evolved, but I liked it when you were scoping out fun things for us, and I miss it. Can we go back to a team approach?"
If you have a friend who is always late, you can become a true healer with just one comment like this: "Just so you know, I'll always wait for you. You're much more important to me than getting to a movie in time for previews. But it would be great if we did leave early enough, because cutting it too close makes me stressed out about parking and all that."
Clocking Lateness
Use the profiles delineated previously to nail why you have trouble being on time. Then you can start fighting back with these practical strategies. And don't start "later" — start now.
Keep a date book and be sure to carry it with you: Writing down appointments makes them real; having that record always handy will keep you honest. If you aren't scheduling yourself on paper or electronically, you're more likely to give yourself leeway — at the expense of others.
Factor lateness into your day: Create "lateness buffers" by planning to leave an event 10 or 15 minutes earlier than your first pass at scheduling would indicate. Or start getting ready a bit sooner than you think you need to, reminding yourself you aren't the best judge of how much time you need.
Have more confidence in your future: When you steal time to send one last e-mail, you're really saying you're not sure there's enough time for, well, your life. Try walking out on the day's loose ends, and you'll find they slowly lose their control over you.
Put yourself in their shoes: Imagine yourself as one of the people waiting for you, and his or her anxiety that time doesn't really matter to you. Doing this exercise might motivate you to be more punctual.
Balance your imbalances: If you're the chronically late one in your family and your husband is compulsively punctual, recruit him as a time coach.
Be sure you wear a watch: When you see that the time of your appointment has arrived, but you haven't, you may feel just enough "good stress" to make more of an effort to be on time.
Take time — for yourself: For those who have trouble creating realistic schedules and sticking to them, meditation can be beneficial because it forces you to sit quietly with yourself and focus. Yoga or an exercise routine can do the same.
My lateness started to disappear when my psychiatrist and I got to the bottom of my trouble with commitment. It related to everything from the normal pressure I felt to please my parents to my memories of school phobia as a child. I was associating commitment — and getting to therapy to talk about it — with all that early conflict. Choosing to begin therapy, and arriving on time, was part of the cure, especially since keeping that commitment yielded immeasurable gains in my sense of self and my ability to express love for others.
Defeating lateness can mean victories just as great for you or those you love. So don't delay the battle.
Being late can be a symptom of mild or even more serious psychological problems — worth thinking about if you or someone you know is habitually more than a few minutes late.
1. Depression: Because depression causes not only sadness, irritability, and changes in sleep and appetite, but also loss of focus and energy, depressed people may be chronically late — and that won't be the only symptom. The lateness is likely to be relatively new or to come and go with the mood disorder. Also, depressed people who are late tend to be late to lots of different things, not just work or coffee with a friend.
2. Attention deficit disorder: Abbreviated as ADD, this disorder can make people late because they are always searching for misplaced keys, etc. It can make them forget appointments or lose their way, taking wrong turns as their mind wanders. ADD, like depression, is an equal-opportunity cause of lateness. You wouldn't expect it to make you late for work and never for tennis. And you probably struggle in other areas, such as completing tasks in a timely fashion.
3. Substance abuse: Even though it's anxiety provoking to wonder if it's a little too much wine a few too many nights that's making you late to work, it'll end up being much more painful if you deny it.

My Response....
It's easy for other people who don't know the situation to comment about it.
You don't get to pick your family or your in-laws (unfortunately) and we're expected to just accept whatever scraps of attention you get from them.
Somehow, it has to be made clear that we shouldn't have to accept less than what we deserve AND we should only let those people in our lives who make our lives richer.
We cannot make people like us or take an interest in us...they either do or they don't and being "related" has nothing to do with it.
It's not the greatest thing knowing that people only pay attention to those who are sitting right in front of their faces....noone else exists.
That's the purpose of my blog....to show the upside and downside of certain relationships and I'm glad I don't really have to participate in some of them.....
PLUS...this is my blog and I can write whatever I want, whenever I want, and however I want.
My blog is like my personal journal...I tell it like it is, how I see it, and how we hear about things through the grapevine. There are always going to be those people in families who have to be the "drama queens" of life...they aren't happy unless they're causing all eyes to be upon them at all times.....gimme a break - that whole routine is getting so old and we're getting so tired of it already. My advice to the drama queens....you chose your life and made your mistakes....don't make the rest of us pay for your mistakes too. It's your problem so deal with it accordingly.
Oh, and while I'm at it....how hard is it for brothers and sisters, or whatever relation you happen to be, to sit your lazy butt down...pick up the phone and dial a few numbers to speak to your family? Is it really difficult, or a chore or some other made-up excuse in your head? Or.....would you rather wait until you're standing at your family member's graveside wishing you had said this or that or the other thing but were too stubborn to pick your pride off the sidewalk and be a decent human being or family member? I'm SO sick of the excuses we always hear as to why so and so never calls...."I'm sooooooooo busy (whatever, it's called time-management), "I forgot......."(you've been family members for 30-something years...get a brain transplant) or the best one I've heard yet..."I thought about calling but thought you would think........." OMG....give me a break! But yet you're not too busy to call your best friend, etc.....I don't get people anymore and I'm done trying to understand the twisted goings-on in the brains of people who are not meant to be understood at all.

But yet you're not too busy to call your best friend, etc.....I don't get people anymore and I'm done trying to understand the twisted goings-on in the brains of people who are not meant to be understood at all.

To Be a Kid Again...
Innocence
I'm excited at your amazement and your awe.
You look for the goodness and not the flaw.
How I wish I could be so innocent and small.
My vision of others wouldn't be tarnished at all.
Please never change your positive outlook on life.
I pray you'll never have to worry about sorrow or strife.
Your Dad and I will be here always for you.
You can count on our never-ending love for you being true.
You make us happy every single day.
I can't imagine life any other way.

Disappointment...
Disappointment
Don't flatter yourself with thoughts that you're the best.
I personally know that you'll never pass the test.
People are only in your life as long as it benefits you.
How do you think it makes people feel knowing you're not true?
Try to be a better mom, sister and daughter...
Otherwise you're wasting time just treading water.
Try as I might, liking you is hard.
How can I like someone who always holds the trump card?
Trot off into the sunset and don't look behind.
For I'm very sure thoughts of us will vanish from your mind.

An Ode to an Only Child...
An Only Child
I'm glad I'm an only child and here's the reason why.
I'm ashamed to be related to someone who refuses to even try.
Relationships work both ways - they're not a one-way street.
Somehow you think you have a license to ignore and mistreat.
If I were you, I wouldn't be so proud of the person that you've become.
Obviously you don't need a sibling, because you're too focused on being the only one.
We cannot wait around forever for you to become who you want to be.
And, we cannot pretend that all is well with such a dysfunctional family.
It isn't normal to ignore your siblings - no matter what the reason or cause.
Because in the end you have to realize that as a sibling you too have many flaws.
