The sense of Entitlement Never Ends
So I was accused of never blogging the other day. That is mostly due to the fact that the skids are long grown and for the most, emphasis on most part, DH had my back through the worst of times.
so on to the sense of entitlement.
DH and I were chatting while waiting on vet services and he mentions an earlier convo with OSS. The jist of their talk was that OSS had driven with a Friend to the outer banks. The area they wanted to acces is currently under lockdown and only permitted home owners can enter a particular county. The friend had a permit that belonged to someone else. You can probably guess where this is heading.....they were not only turned away but they were fined! How awful, how wrong, they put a lot of money into the local economy there, the permit holder has property rights and he can lend it to whoever he wants, this is too much government intrusion, blah, blah blah.
i was pretty stunned by this, as it is very unlike DH. I simply replied that we are in the midst of a pandemic and that locality was probably trying to manage spread so as not to overwhelm the meager local medical facilities. That's when the fight started.
DH suggested that I only felt that way because it was his son. Hmmm no DH I feel that way because we are in the middle of a pandemic and I am worried about you and others like you who have significant health issues and I think this is one time maybe for folks to stop doing what they want and do what is right. But whatever. He just wouldn't let it go, again very unlike him. So before I could stop myself I reminded DH of the countless times OSS had to pay fines over the years because rules don't apply to him. I reminded him we agreed that until there is a vaccine there would be no visits with Skids & gskids BECAUSE they will not follow social distancing guidelines. How do I know DH? Because it is all over their freakin social media. The lot of them are giving the big middle finger to their state guidelines. They are some of the most selfish, self involved, self righteous people on earth. I never comment on their antics unless DH brings them up to me. Not my finest moment. After a few hours of pouting, ok reflective contemplation on his part, he actually told me I was right, and that for all his positive traits OSS could be a selfish idiot and that this was just one more example of that. Yup DH u got that mostly right because all your kids are that way because BM raised them all to believe they are special snowflakes and you could never bring yourself to stop that. This is what happens when kids are raised with every whim indulged, given everything they ask for and never asked to work or sacrifice for it. This is what happens when kids are nerver, not once, made to put others before self, never asked to do something for someone else when it is inconvenient or uncomfortable.
Ughh this so seldom happens But it is still such a disappointment when his first reaction is to defend a grown a** man.

Im so proud of my kids for
Im so proud of my kids for following the guidelines, even when they don't agree with all of them. They believe in the greater good. The skids on the other hand don't know how to follow rules because as you said they don't apply to them.
Gives me hope for our collective future
Even my knucklehead son is following the guidelines. He gets that his actions impact others. Both my kids are kinder, more civically mined than the skids. I wonder why....
