Among Friends

[Catty2]

She sounds like an unhappy, nasty person and you were her target for the day.  I think you handled it very well.

i think that you did the right thing.  people do not have the respect that they once had.  they were guests in your home and you elected to welcome them but you do not have have to put up with rudeness in your own home.\

i had a neigbor who came over to visit me me one day and he exposed himself to me while we were chatting.  i had him leave         and told him he was never ever  welcome in my home again.  he said he was sorry but that did not cut it with me.  he knew what he was doing and i do not have to have people like that in my home. and neither do you.

i just feel that people today have no respect     and anything that they want to say or do goes.

we did to getback to basic manners

@I am stillkeeper of the   Good for you.  Everyone needs to learn to stick up for themselves.

You are a good person, and one who is an angel to all the animals that you help and provide a safe place to live.  Bless you for all you continue to do.

Shame on her - she must be unhappy and trying to spread her misery around.  

You did the right thing.

@I am stillkeeper of the , I am blown away at the churlish behaviour of an uninvited guest not just in your home, but sharing a meal at your table.  I think you handled it well.  LM

I think we share sisters--Mine acts as badly as yours appears to. 

I've gone beyond caring and just ignore now.  If others are around I'll ask her to leave when she becomes obnoxious.  Nobody needs to be abused, and she can embarrass herself with her friends, not mine. 

You can pick your friends....

When you've done everything you can to keep peace and it isn't working - change the game. You asked her to leave -- changed the game. So proud of you!

Good for you, I sense she may have some envy regarding your life. Hope she thinks about how she acted and is embarassed.

If she has any class at all (which I doubt) she should apologize to you.

You handled this very well and you are 100% right. We as adults don't owe anyone explanations on how we live or how we choose to live and spend our time. As long as we are paying our own bills what we do is our business. We all get to write our own books. We don't write the first chapter or the last but we certainly write all the chapters in between. That is the wonderful gift about life is that we get to decide how we live it and so does everyone else.
