I’m Not Nice

Jealousy is no more than feeling alone against smiling enemies.
~Elizabeth Bowen
Last night was my son’s Pinewood Derby. My ex showed up ten minutes late with his new baby of a girlfriend. Now don’t get me wrong here, I wasn’t jealous of the two of them together. In fact I wasn’t bothered by them at all until my youngest ran over and sat on her lap. Where he stayed for the rest of the evening.
To make it worse she kept looking over at me and smiling like she knew exactly what she was doing.
I was not impressed.
I am still not impressed. The girl is twenty. She’s not a mother, she’s a damn nanny.
I wish I could be nicer, like the ladies over at The DHX. Must read their blog more often for tips.
