Today was an awful day. Awful awful awful… It started good. It was happy in our house. I was getting ready for my laser appointment, my girls were talking about the best way to make curls last and hold. My oldest daughter was hopping into the shower as I was running out the door to make my appointment. She was getting ready to go to her boyfriend’s grad this evening. He is at a different school then her. They decided pretty last minute about her attending, they weren’t dating when the tickets went on sale. We spent the past few days finding her a dress (she wanted to save her dress for her grad). She picked nail polish, how to do her hair, etc.  She was supposed to be picked up by his mom (who lives in town) and they were supposed to be meeting him & his dad (& step mother, brother). My youngest daughter is amazingly talented when it comes to hair styling. She did a practice hair style the day before. So, while I was at my appointment, they did her makeup and then her hair (which was incredible!!), but it took a very long time. When I got home they were just finishing her hair. She was beautiful, excited and glowing! She got her bag ready, for going to the after party, “normal” clothes, etc.  Then she got her dress on. The neighbours all wanted to see her “final look”, so she showed everyone. Then I took a bunch of photos of her. Then we came back home to make sure she had all she needed, because his mom was supposed to be coming right away. We were talking and waiting for his mom when my daughter’s boyfriend texted her saying that his mom didn’t  have a spare ticket for her anymore!!!! Yes, that’s right, you heard me, there was no longer a ticket for her!!!!!!😱😱😱 Apparently his mom told him that she decided to use the ticket for his stepdad. Just like that!!! Can you even believe it! My baby at the door, dressed to the nines, waiting to be picked up for grad – and through a f-ing text his mom decides, at the last possible second, that his stepdad should come to the grad, not his girlfriend. But it’s okay because “she’ll do whatever it takes to make sure she (my daughter) gets to the after party!!” Because, yes, that is what you spend 5 hours getting dressed up for, a bloody party!!! This afternoon, around 12:00, he said that his mom told him that she’ll pick her (my daughter) up at about 5:00, then at about 5:15, his mom decides “nope!!!” REALLY????? Wtf??? So, for anyone who’s watched those teen movies where the girl is waiting for the prom date and he never shows…well, I just watched my daughter endure that and it was AWFUL! My heart was aching for her and my blood was boiling! I was so so angry at this woman. I mean who the hell does that?? I did wonder if he was making that up, because he got cold feet or something, but apparently no. That is just the way she is! This is to be expected…  Normal behaviour for his mom! One of the reasons he chose to move in with his dad…I’m still a bit speechless about the whole thing! I know it may not seem like it, but wow! Wow! I know he was embarrassed and shamed and felt super bad. He apologized a lot, but, that doesn’t take the sting away, or make it better… I just can’t imagine doing that to a young girl! (Not to mention, your own son…). There’s more to say, but I’m going to stop before I let the mad take over…the 🐻Momma Bear🐻is rearing up🐻RARW🐻
