glad to have the company
.
I'm the middle child, but my older sister was six years older, so apparently there's so much time between us it's like having another first child. That and the fact that my older sister had mental health issues meant I was clearly the responsible one.
here are the things I've said that sound like mom:
"if you can take them out of the drawer you can put them back in"
"I can't have anything nice because of _fill in the blank_ (bunnies, kitties, kids, husband )"
I'm holding back on many of the statements, including "we all have wants, needs, and desires that go unfulfilled"-this is a killer and should only used for those past kindergarten. it's just too depressing
.
scary, scary, scary...
