In every life a little jerk must fall.
I once thought it was good for children to have adult connections outside of the family, but after my daughter’s friend’s mother, I no long think that. People have their own agendas, and adults want to meet their emotional needs as well as family needs on your kids.
So much for “mentors” in this day and age.
Can’t be avoided, I guess-my mom apologized to me 20 years ago for encouaging me to “do the right thing” and let the cub spend time with her father-even though she agreed with me that he was pretty much just her sperm donor, and doing the right thing is not exactly the 1st inclination of Latina women when it comes to a man who a jerk-but no good deed goes unpunished-I stick to venganza instead now...
