Has someone wronged you this week that you are ready to set right? Has the rate of gasoline crept steadily higher and in turn emptied your pockets? Has the flu (Swine or otherwise) taken up residence inside your home? Has a stranger performed a random act of kindness and you were the recipient? Has your child's teacher told you how wonderful your child is and anticipates them one day being the president of the United States at a parent-teacher conference? Or maybe they told you they anticipate your child being the next Charlie Manson...whatever it may be write a letter to the person involved and let them know how you feel. Grab my button from the left sidebar and paste it on your post and link up at the bottom of this post. I can't wait to read you Letters of Intent! (Just so you know- I have a sub job today and won't be able to read your letters until tonight. But rest assured, I will read and comment!)
Dear Egg Donor/Incubator/Waste of Space,
I have spoken of you before on my blog. Once-very briefly I believe. I don't like to mention you often because that means I am giving you attention that you do not need or deserve. I refuse to spend my free time thinking about you.
However, today I am making an exception to my rule. Last week you stepped so far over the line that even I was shocked for a moment. But then I remembered who you really are and my shock turned to anger.
How anyone could feel so self-entitled and egocentric is beyond me. But you prove yourself to be that very person time and time again. So when I received a letter from the bank last week informing me that Josh's bank account was $100 negative I shouldn't have been so surprised. I mean really, of course you stole money from your own son's bank account. How could we expect anything more of you? Why wouldn't you steal from your son who is at college and has no source of income other than what he earned over the summer while working? Every parent does that, right? Right?
Um...no. Not every parent steals from their child. Maybe the isolated incident of the drug and/or alcohol addicts. Maybe the parents who's addiction has them so far gone. But that's not you. Your attitude is that everyone in the world owes you something. That because you birthed Josh then he owes you something. He owes you chores, emotional support, manual labor...money.
*sigh* Once again, you have proven yourself to be an abomination that Josh has the "privilege" of having to say that you are his mother. It's crazy that society is required to get a license before owning a gun, getting married, hunting, fishing- but any psychopathic schmuck can be a parent.
From,
The woman who is constantly having to pick up the pieces after you blow threw in hurricane force winds.
37 Validations To Make Me Feel Worthy:
Oh girlie... I am so sorry.
I hate to say it - but it is only money. Josh knows who has taught him values and who loves him and would never steal from him. He has your support and your commitment to him - so he is richer than any overdrawn account.
(But dang, that makes me mad).
Pray tell - why on EARTH she has access to his account?
So sorry...
Let me at 'er.
Y I OTTA.
These kinda people will continue to take and take and take...
One day when he's grown up enough.. he'll make decisions to account for her actions all of his life. And then she won't be able to take and take and take....
continue to show him that YOU ARE THE NORM.. she is not.
xoxo supah
Oh no. That makes me so angry just reading it. I just don't understand some people. Josh is a lucky guy to have someone like you in his life.
I really do feel your pain! My (step)sons mother has done the exact same thing on numerous occasions. But the first time that she did so was when he was sixteen and got a job at a restaurant. He got the same letter in the mail from the bank. Recently though it is worse because his account was frozen because her name is on it and she has lied on her taxes. I think that they both deserve that mother of the year award! I am very sorry,
Casy
WHAT. A. COW... that's all I got. Poor Josh. He's lucky to have you. :)
OMG...what a fruitcake! She must be insane and I certainly hope that she no longer has access to his account. Poor Josh! He must be heartbroken.
Sigh, that's really terrible that he has to deal with that and in turn you all have to pick up the pieces. I hope you are able to help him through that breech of trust.
Thank God for you & that Josh knows he has someone he can count on in you. That is just terrible. He needs to close his account and open a new one. Sheesh.
Ugh. That's terrible. Seriously, I just wonder how a mother can do that!? Thank goodness Josh has you to teach him what real motherhood is about!
That's terrible. I'm sorry.
(I used to hate coffee. Working @ *$ cured that and created a problem out of it :P Thus the letter to a bottle of syrup...)
Wow, he outdid my sperm donar. I linked mine up before I read yours and also have a letter similar, but not nearly as ridiculous. Wonder how they sleep at night?
Bless his heart- he has got to be torn to pieces inside. I mean, regardless of how outrageously selfish that is (etc.!!!!!!), it's his mother. Praying you'll have wisdom.
And um... I firmly believe that, just as with driving a car, people should have to take some sort of test and be licensed before reproducing. That said, I may not have children that way...
Ugh. This post made me cry. Because I feel for Josh. Because that mother that he has? That is my mother. She feels that I will always be owing her. The one thing I can take from it is to make sure I NEVER make my son feel that way. Thank goodness Josh has you in his corner. I wish I had had someone in mine. He is so lucky to have you.
Ugh. That's horrible! You are doing the right thing mom showing him the way!!!
THAT IS HORRIBLE!!!!! what a loser--poor Josh
thank goodness he has you!!
That is really awful. He is lucky to have you to fill the void of that useless, awful woman. Who does that kind of thing??? Sorry you have to deal with that.
I can not believe that she is still managing to do these things. How did she get into the account? I would file charges against her. One day everything she has done to them and your family will come back and she will suffer for it.
wow - that is just sad - and wrong (and sounds like my own mother!)
Just FYI, the gingerbread syrup would be FABULOUS in a steamed milk :) No coffee needed!
That is just disgusting. I can't believe she would steal from her own child.
Josh is 18 now so can he open up a new account without her name on it at all?
I'm so sorry this happened.
Sad. Just sad. That's all I got...
At least he has you to teach him right from wrong-and pick him up when she knocks him down. Nuff said.

Poor Josh! It is bad enough when something gets stolen, but when it is family {especially his mother} that steals it is even worse!
What a loser she must be. And how damm lucky is Josh to have you......
I can't believe that! Some people just don't understand things like that! She is so lucky to have you!
Thanks for commenting on mine!
oh my gosh!!! That just blows my mind.
Lower than low.
I am so sorry to hear what your family has to deal with!
sorry, josh. so awful. it's also awful that that happened at all. i can't imagine dealing with it. you are a very strong woman, and he is a very lucky young man. take care.
Nothing like a few actions to show the real interior of a person.
Terrible. Waste of Space was the exact right term.
What. A. Nutcase. I'm so thankful that Josh has YOU in his life to give him love and teach him well. Big hug!
Are you serious? That makes me feel ill. OH MY GOSH ill! Craziness I tell ya!
I had to laugh because we call my nephews biological 'father' and I use that term loosely - we call him the sperm donor. The only good thing about him was my nephew and the really cool wedding my parents got to throw! People need to get their heads on straight!
Now that just sucks. How on earth could anyone do that? My mom's boss says people should have to pass an IQ test before they can have sex, let alone produce children. LOL. Sounds like that was needed here. Except that would mean no Josh. Other than that, though. What an idiot excuse for a "mother"
How did she get a hold of his bank account? Did she ask him for the money? Oh what is Chris going to do? Oh Julie! Poor Josh.
I was just playing a little catch up. And you are so right. You should have pass a test before you become a parent.
