very good points. parents have no reaction. once in awhile mild, but none worth mentioning. like a monotone "hey". she seems to do it to everyone. maybe she gets some cause dad treats mom like %#@&#! most of the time. thing that really bugs me is when she picks on the neighbor dave, who's, i dunno, 50 and schitzophrenic (sp?). i mean she is MEAN to him. mom doesn't care enough. i'd smack her *** and send her to a corner the way she is to him. only thing i can do when she gets that way is tell her i don't like her when she's being mean, and as long as she is she's not welcome in my house and i send her home. i dunno. don't think i have the energy to care so much anymore. not that i could tell her mom anyway, she wouldn't understand it.
