(The people who leave me feeling the most frustrated and taken advantage of.) My son was befriended by a guy at his school. He has MD (duchenne) and appx. five years left to live. I know I sound callous when I say his mom is really good at playing the heart strings. I had an uncomfortable run-in with her in the summertime and she hasn't called on me since. <br /><br />I'm wondering if this is a tactic that [they] try with everyone i.e., prospecting "suckers", or if is a personality trait they easily spot and capitalize on.Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150573665283919209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-18232826906848416562014-10-28T13:57:45.716-04:002014-10-28T13:57:45.716-04:00What statement analysis has taught me: you can...What statement analysis has taught me: you can't avoid a liar, at best you just spot them sooner. I have also learned that there are a lot of liars in my midst! Even if I can't pin point something per se, I go with my intuition and navigate by/around potentially toxic "friendships". <br /><br />Even as recently as this summer I was duped by a very good liar. When you are a stay-at-home mom, like I am, it is not uncommon to have 'fake friends' who are expert at hijacking your time. Be it to pick up the slack for two working parents, i.e., being the go-to for drives to and from activities I have signed up my kids for and which they purposely choose for their kids so that they can impose upon me in the name of "you're going there anyway" - which has inevitable turned into "free daycare" an hour here and there, to 'picking my pocket' to bankroll their altruistic endeavors that involve traveling to exotic destinations which also includes picking up the slack for the other parent staying behind who now has to be mother/father/chief bottle washer, taxi, etc.<br /><br />My biggest worry for my kids these days is that they end up someplace they are not suppose to be because of a friend's need to lie to be away from their parent's prying and controlling parenting style (their ability play my kid's loyalty to the hilt and manipulating them into 'lying' for them.) This situation has recently happened to a friend's daughter - different school/neighbourhood. <br /><br />Recently one specific girl I know had a sleepover at another friend's house and she stole five make-up brushes, a lipstick and a mascara. She lied about taking them but then once her mother got involved she coughed up "3" brushes and took a pic of them and sent the picture to her "friend" to show her that she had "only 3" brushes. The victim's mom asked me why would she only admit to three brushes and send "Emma" a picture of them? I said because technically she wasn't lying about taking five brushes, a lipstick and mascara. She only had **3** brushes so she wasn't lying - and which she returned via the mailbox when she knew they wouldn't be home. The pic taunting "Emma" that the others were now hers. A few years ago, this same girl tried to steal an expensive bracelet from my daughter (I caught her trying to walk out of our house with it hidden under her coat sleeve). Since then anything valuable gets locked away when (they) come and boundaries to bedrooms are respected. Her brother gleefully burned me with his sparkler one Canada Day. I was lighting a circle of kids' sparklers, he reached through the circle and purposely burned my hand. He was eerily 'happy" to witness my shock and pain. He laughed thinking I wouldn't challenge him. My son was really upset. I sent my son and others off and firmly held the fire bug by his shoulders and accused him of burning me on purpose. I informed him that he might be able to get away with that sh!t with his parents, but that if he ever tried to burn me or anyone in my backyard again, he and his family would be asked to leave immediately and he would not be welcomed back. Ever. His sister (the Kleptomaniac) has bouts of pure rage that her mother admitted to. The mother manipulates people with her orchestrated 'friendliness' so as to keep her kids socialized/in the fold. I believe in my heart that these two kids (a product of a lying mother and an indifferent father) are sociopaths or psychopaths in the making. I could go on and on. Suffice to say I'm glad we moved and now live "too far" for it to be convenient to be called upon to "pick up the slack". Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150573665283919209noreply@blogger.com
