O.K. Folks....join in on this conversation -
My 18 yo neice is here with me now. She says that she feels like Barack Obama is evil because of what she heard from her mother. What do you tell her?

2. That depends.
Does she (Do you...?) believe everything her mother tells her without question?

5. Crap
She just left. So I was sitting here feeling pretty good after a shot of patron when my 18 yo pregnant niece come over to pick up something but doesn't tell me that her 24 yo boyfriend is in the car waiting for her so I'm talking to her and she tells me this shit. Then he comes to the door because she took too long. I didn't realize that he drove her over here. He hates me more than anybody because I told her when she first discovered that she was pregnant that I would support her no matter what she decided. He is a grifter felon who doesn't like to work due to back problems and lives with my niece and her Christian Republican family. Oh, and she was picking up my electric bill because she says she lives with me instead of her family so that she can get financial aide.

9. Wait...18 year old, unmarried pregnant niece from her Christian Republican
family? And the soon-to-be pop is a felon grifter? Oh, and she's lying to get financial aide?

That's quality child rearing come full circle, I tell you.

Time to start second-guessing momma, deary.

13. It won't happen
Frankly, she isn't that bright, but could hold down a low stress job. When she was young, I thought she would never fully be able to take care of herself but she is doing better that what I had feared so for that I am grateful. However, this guy found a girl with a low self esteem and has shut everyone out of her life except for him and she loves it. My sister now has 2 extra mouths to feed and he is a cocky mother fucker. My friend and I call him "Duke" from the "Dukes of Hazzard".

I think he seems like someone who is truly Christian...a rare thing to see these days.

6. She couldn't tell me shit!
She said that there was something in the Bible about him and something about that guy who predicted the future blah blah incoherent shit. This ex-meth addict from a small town in Tx found himself a meal ticket. Weirdest thing...my BIL is a real hard ass, but a complete wuss with his daughter who has Tourettes. She can be HELL ON WHEELS when she is upset, so they have always given her what she has wanted.

7. "Your mother is not telling you lies
she is just misinformed".

And then inform her as to what you know and let her decide.

8. She isn't registered anyway
and her BF can't vote anyway. And they have a huge Confederate flag hanging in their bedroom in my sister's home. He is learning the plumbing trade but can't get a license yet because he is on probation, supposedly from being in a fight. Oh, and his teeth are rotten due to meth. My niece hasn't done a thing since she graduated because her Dad told her that she could rest until she had the baby because she had some cramps. They think that she is going to college after she has the baby. They are delusional.

12. I know
but I don't want her here with that guy and they have no where else to go. I almost let them move in with me but then I found out more about him. Supposedly, they are moving out soon anyway, but I doubt that they would make it.
