Michelle Antics...
Over this past weekend one of the wife's sister's graduated high school. For the celebration, the parents took her out to dinner at some lodge in the mountains. It was a big shindig... they made reservations, flew in the girl's real mother from New Jersey, had her brother in town from Oregon... it was going to be expensive. Since all those people were invited, they invited Michelle as well.
Michelle showed up at the house moments before they were getting ready to walk out the door. When she came in the house, she saw her brother's girlfriend holding the kid... this pissed her off. This was a defining moment for the evening. It turns out that Michelle doesn't like this girl. Reason for that: Michelle wanted her brother to date one of her "druggie friends." For some reason he didn't want to... so he started seeing this girl instead. For Michelle to walk in and see this girl playing with her kid just set her off. She continued on with her little tantrum stating that she wanted the kid to wear the clothes she brought... and... use her diaper bag. The mom decided it wasn't a fight worth fighting because they needed to hit the road. Michelle then dressed the boy in a shirt that said, "Mommy's little metal head" which was pulled from a black diaper bag with red bats on it. I'm not making this up.
OK, now everyone's ready to go. In car one we have: Mom, Dad, Uncle Jerry, the boy. In car two we have: The brother, the girlfriend. In car three we have: The sister that graduated, the other sister, the girls' mother. In car 4 we have: Michelle (still with no car insurance). At this point, the mother had gone in and fetched a second diaper bag just in case... (they didn't want to have to rely on Michelle).
While this "convoy" wound its way toward the mountains, Michelle peeled off into a bank and start frantically looking around in her car. No one else stops, no one cares. They continue up to the lodge and proceed on with their evening. An hour and a half later, Michelle shows up, and she's twitching. You guessed it, when she pulled over, she was hunting her stash. She was on her meth and started giving everyone a load of noise... including the waiter. I don't know what she said or did to him, but they didn't let her order any food. I guess it didn't help that when she walked in, her brother's girlfriend was feeding the boy.
Because the kid was getting the attention and she wasn't, she took the boy and started trying to pretend to be his mother. It was clearly an act. I'm going to quote my wife here, "She treats that kid as an accessory... she wants him to be a reflection of her." Good point... that explains the stupid shirt he's wearing... Anyhow, no one was buying her little act and she again got mad at everyone... this time, because no one is treating her like a mother... Yah... you read that right.
The future: Her brother and his girlfriend are talking about marriage... Once that happens they were also talking, again, about taking custody of the boy and raising him. Hopefully that works out. I know the mother-in-law is hoping for that to happen (for a couple reasons). Michelle again said that she's moving to Maine... claiming that it's going to happen in a couple weeks. She said, "I don't care if I only have $3, I'm moving to Maine and taking 'the boy' with me and you'll never see him again!"
