I'm a rude bitch... apparently?

Alas, Boomers be boomering...

My aunt forwarded me MY OWN MOTHER'S Facebook post last night. I don't use Facebook; haven't in about five years. I only still have it because you need an account to use the messenger function.

She sent me some swill that my mother had posted about Velveeta Voldemort. I DO NOT talk about politics with my mom. I refuse.

Since 2015, it's like she isn't the woman who raised me anymore. Everything the taught me and instilled in me to value goes against what she believes politically. But here is the kicker, she boasts about not following politics. How "he's a good man because he put his hand over his heart when the pledge of allegiance was recited." 🙄 IF I ever have to check something on Facebook (i.e. someone tags me specifically in a post or something) I IMMEDIATELY snooze my mother for 30 days. I haven't organically seen a post from her on years. If I could unfriend her without hurting her feelings, I would. Bottom line is my mother KNOWS not to bring shit up to me because I will have facts and logic and we all know they hate facts and logic.

BUT back to the boomering, my aunt forwarded me the above post as I was driving home. As soon as I saw it (don't text and drive, folks), I sent her the following reply. I was polite but firm.

I texted my sister a screenshot and told her to be ready to hear how I'm a "rude, evil, Trump-hating bitch" from my aunt.

Not even 15 minutes later, as my sister and mom are eating dinner, my sister texts me and said my aunt was on the phone with my mom "as we speak."

So yeah. That was my Tuesday. Also, note we normally have a chill relationship, my aunt and I. See the above message? I reached out to her on her birthday because my uncle died in July and I knew she would be missing him.

So yeah, I'm a bitch for making boundaries. Go figure that it's this that makes her cut someone off and not her shitty sons who take advantage of her, have a crap ton of children to dump on her, live up on her without paying rent or contributing, and draining her dry over their legal troubles.

Yay, family.....
