Update ...

I went to see my nephew, he's doing well and I obviously spoil him! He is bruised and sore, but up moving around like a typical 10 year old... He has problems getting into his bed (loft bed) and has been sleeping on the couch. They didn't x-ray his hand, looks like his thumb may be broken, its all black and swollen. He's got scrapes and scabs all down his left side and he said to me "Aunt Monica, I have 3 holes in the top of my head" and sure enough, we looked and found the extra 3 holes/sores.

After I knew he was alright and saw for myself that he was going to be fine... I found my niece. Abby and I had a heart to heart. She ran off up to her room when I got there and told my sister that she didn't want to talk to me. My sister told her to suck it up and listen to what I had to say. She didn't have much choice but to listen, I had her cornered.

Now, I remember as a kid, if ANYONE told me they were disappointed in me, It totally tore me up, to this day, I hate to disappoint anyone or even the thought of them being disappointed in me.

My Niece stood there and listened to me talk. I told her that I was upset and disappointed with her and her actions. I tried to explain to her that rules are in place for a reason and that she has a lot more privledges than we (me and my sisters) ever had at her age and that she is allowed to do more than what I allow Austin to do. I have NEVER dropped Austin off at a skating rink and picked him up at closing time. Austin doesn't even go down the street to play unless I can see him in either the front or back yard. I explained to her that her actions and decisions she was making effect more than just her ass. I told her that we were all afraid she'd be pregnant or worse by age 15. With that, she lied to me and told me that she didn't have a boyfriend. (I found out that was a lie 2 days later when talking w/her Mom) I asked her what I could do to help her to quit making such bad decisions, what I could do to help her do better. She stood there with a blank stare .....

Would you believe she had the nerve to be jealous that Alan got that basket of goodies, she was upset that when she made her claims against JT she should have gotten something like that. I told her that she DID get that and more... SHE was GIVEN ALL of the possible SUPPORT from EVERYONE around her.

One day .... She'll get hers ..... What comes around goes around .... right???
