B!TC# IT OUT!

[Shimmer Mermaid]

So my step mother has always said
"Youre just as pretty as your sister, just in a different way."

My sister is very pretty, wears makeup often, does her hair, etc etc.

If I'm walking about the house, or just going to their house, or running into town, I don't feel like it means I should wear makeup.

As I've gotten out of the house, got married and such, I feel more and more degraded when she says it.

I just dont like it. At all.

She probably doesn't mean for it to be hurtful. Try telling her how it makes you feel. When I changed my hair color back to brown from blonde, I had several people mention how much better I look with brown hair. I loved my blonde and it hurt when they said it, but I had to remind myself that the people saying it care for me and wouldn't hurt me on purpose. Sometimes people say things and mean well but don't realize it's hurtful.

Shimmer, forget her. Why do you care what she thinks of you? To paraphrase a favorite movie, 'she has no power over you'.

[Shimmer Mermaid]

That movie doesn't happen to be full of goblins and a sexy David bowie in a very revealing outfit does it?
And it has gotten to the point of her saying it more and more often. And making a point of saying it for no reason.

[PearlieMae]

Gee? Maybe? hubba hubba!

Without trying to figure out why she's saying such things, don't bother wasting your energy on it. She's toxic. Tell her to go piss up a rope.

Awesome Labyrinth reference! And good advice

[Shimmer Mermaid]

"Piss up a rope"? That's a new one.
Me and her got into a "creative discussion" yesterday about whether my 16 year old sister should carry a pocket knife when she goes off by herself to the store, or gas station. She thinks it's "not ladylike" and I think it doesn't matter if someone is trying to assult her.
I carry I knife in my bag at all times just in case. And I've had to use it more than once. She literally said "my grandkid will NOT be carrying a pocket knife at a young age" (talking about my baby due in September) and I said "well luckily YOUR grandkid is 27. My father's grandkid however will get a knife the same time I did growing up."

She told my father I was being rude and to tell me to be nice. He laughed and said, "she's grown, married, and pregnant. I'm not telling her diddly squat. Don't start something you can't finish."

I almost died laughing

Your father is a legend! At least someone's got your back!

We really need to plan this thing out and crowdfund it.

There must be a way.

Update on an earlier bitch I posted about being impatient about feeling my baby move;
Last night I had stomach ache, and had my hand on my belly, with a small amount of pressure because it hurt.

I felt him or her move last night. I put my husbands hand in the same place and he felt it too. It was really relieving.

Whew, now I can rest a little easier.

Yay! Is this your first? That's always an exciting moment to feel movement. Just wait a while and you'll be saying "stop kicking me in the ribs!" lol

Yes my first, and I'm very excited. I am really looking forward to finding out the gender

[MerMaiden Lissa]

My sister-in-law just found out she's pregnant and I'm kinda jealous. I am not having any more kids though because my health makes it hard to take care of the one I have...and he's 8. I can't imagine trying to take care of a baby now. Congratulations though :-D

whether my 16 year old sister should carry a pocket knife when she goes off by herself to the store, or gas station.

mermaid knife! hehe
heck, why stop with a pocket knife? strap a sword to your hip (or back, depending on the size). if people can open carry firearms, why not swords?

[Hydra1337]

Depending on the state I think you can legally open carry a bow and arrow. I prefer guns personally but imagine how bad ass you'd look walking down the street wearing a green hood carrying a bow and arrow set.

Shimmer could put in a braid and be all Katniss Everdeen on peeps

My dad bought me a giant pocketknife when I was 16 to keep in my purse at all times. XD
