So I got into it with a good friend of mine last night who lives 2 houses down............Here's what happened.
Her husband calls me and wants to know if my son Jesse who is 9 and his 2 year old daughter are at my house. I said no they were at your house, he says they were playing in the front yard and they are not there now. ( keep in mind I live in a very rural area with maybe a total of 10 cars driving down my road in a day and we know all of the neighbors).
I get off the phone with him and call my husband who is on his way to pick up my 12 year old from football to make sure he did not have them with him. He did not.
At this point both my friend and her husband are walking through my front yard yelling for my son and their daughter. I go out side yelling for Jesse as well, and then run back into the house to grab my shoes.
They start around the back of my house to check in the backyard. I go into the kitchen to head out the backdoor and I hear my friend screaming at my child at the top of her lungs (keep in mind that they are about an acre away from my house at this time and I am in my house) she is screaming at him he was not supposed to take her out of the yard.
My child is now bawling his eyes out because he is being screamed at. That's it I had it.
I walked out side and asked her where the F%&$ was she at and why the hell was my 9 year old watching her 2 year old. She claims she ran into the house for a minute to get something and when she came back out they were gone and that it was Jesse's fault for taking her in the back yard. She said I told him not to let her go past the tree in the front yard. I asked her did you tell him how far they were allowed to go in the backyard? She said no. I said then it's your fault. And why they hell would you leave a two year old in the care of a 9 year old? And you had to have been in the house longer then a minute for them to get where they were at. (Their yard is a little over an acre like mine and the neighbors in between.)
My boy's love this baby and would never let her get hurt they watch her like a hawk all the time because her mother has a tendency to not keep a close eye on her when they are in my house visiting. I usually end up watching her with my boy's.
Anyway she was still standing there trying to blame my 9 year old for her lack of responsibility, when I finally looked a her and said of course that typical let's not take responsibility for our own actions let's blame the 9 year old. Well she took off running to her house bawling her eyes out as well. Why? Because I spoke the truth and she didn't like what she heard?
Most of you know the issues Jesse is already dealing with well after this he locked himself in his bedroom crying for about 20 minutes. I had to get the key to get in and try to calm him down and tell him it was not his fault.
Was I wrong for going off on her? And yes I was screaming at her like she did to my son.
Funny thing is her husband was trying to speak to her rationally while I was screaming at her, because he knew that I was right, and we stood there talking about it after she ran off crying.
Her husband calls me and wants to know if my son Jesse who is 9 and his 2 year old daughter are at my house.
