The Competition
Oh the folks suffering from a competitive nature. The question is, do you separate out to those that are suffering from a feeling of disconnect that causes this competitive streak? Or do you make everyone else involved suffer by having to deal with it? When talking, pointing it out, and trying to put a stop to it fail miserably time and time again.....how do you deal with it? On one hand you are causing your self hassle by having to duplicate EVERY event. OR you are making everyone else miserable that shouldn't HAVE to deal with it. One would hope that eventually that personal personal awareness would kick in....however there are people in this world that are "perfect". They never do wrong. Then what? This all makes sense in my mind, and maybe in this wording it is not clear to everyone else....so long story short. How do you deal with an insecure Grandmother of your child that feels the need to one up and take claim to things she was not involved in settings like Holidays and Birthdays...in front of a ton of people that are in no way personally connected to her. When this woman can do no wrong. When common courtesy is non existent and she actually has the audacity to "demand" the child from a parent. What do you do? (short of just cutting her out...that will never happen)

Oh, my heart aches for you in this. There never seems to be a happy balance in either of the scenarios of which you speak.
ReplyDeleteThe matter of competition, (that's not my nature...up to a point, I like to do well but am not driven by competition), that kind of drive can be a harsh worm boring its way through even the very best of apples.
On the other topic, my sister is dealing with much of the same...stand your ground...you'll look better in the end for keeping your cool but at the same time be careful of resentment...there may need to be a well thought out discussion on your feelings before too long so things don't build up and cause a cascade of built up anger.
Hmmm...hi! Maybe that's what I should of said first, now look at me sounding like a big bossy know it all. :/ Those are just my honest initial reactions to this from the heart piece.
I'm glad to have found you! I wish you had wordpress for a blog because blogger doesn't communicate with wordpress on a commenting/posting basis...like I won't get a notification if you've responded and I won't get post updates in my inbox either...so that's kind of a pain...is there a way around that?
Any way...I'll check in...I hope you have a blessed Sunday...this is a pretty layout! ((hugs))
Actually...I see a little subscribe by email button here below the comment box...we'll see what happens. :)
