This is the sequel to the Angry rant below. Sequels of ANYTHING are no fun.

Mom admitted it some time ago, last month I think, and it was something that had been in the back of my mind, but I'll go ahead and say it since mom already said it. These next few years may be my Nana's last few, so because of this, according to mom, Nana's trying really hard to convince herself that my spoiled brat cousin Josh is a good kid, that's he's "a little angel"

As such, she's chosen to lecture me and basically tell me that he's smarter than I am and that she feels sorry for me, that I should be ashamed and understand that he's seven years old.

There's a difference between letting your kids act their age, and letting your kids run amuck. This is what Uncle Steven and Aunt Susan do, Josh acts like a seven year old (Actually he's had the last four years to grow out of his terrible threes or twos or what ever, he still hasn't) but his parents don't do their jobs as parents, they let him do whatever he wants, if he throws a fit, they reward it with what ever he wants. When they come to visit, they throw him at the nearest relative and take the vacation for themselves.

Nana's ignoring this and attacking me. It's like.... Now I'm afraid that one by one the family will turn on me, I know they won't, just her and Steven, mom's on my side, we don't want to say anything to Nana because we know that she needs to believe it, so I basically had to "lay back and take it."

It's one of those shocking things where a dearly loved one suddenly turns on your for no just reason. She's convincing herself at my expense that Josh is a little angel. And I don't know how to handle it, the best I can do is sulk and cry a little, I can't be angry. Well that's all I am is angry, I'm powerless, that's what's making me angry, all I can do is let it build up and know that I can't let it out in any way. ~sigh~ Ok, done ranting, on to eating since I haven't eaten since 1pm and I have my first day of school tomorrow. That's another thing that pissed me off, she chose to do it the day before school, you know how you need the first day to be perfect so you can have the rest of the semester be perfect too? She ruined that.

Ok, night.
