Just Need to Rant and Rave (Child mentioned)

I need to bitch about this family issue for a minute. It's my sister-in-law and while it bothers my husband as well, it's still his sister so I have to stop myself at a certain point. Alright so DH and I are in our early 20's, and his sister is older than me. She had a baby at 17, and has always had a hard time accepting adulthood and being a parent. All she ever wanted to do was/is party and goof off. She refuses to get a job as well. She's content with being a lazy, hippie sponging off her father while he raises her beautiful daughter. Well, that's always been hard for me and my jealousy of my own child, but over the past two years she has spent several months on the road with her fellow hippies at a time. Her daughter always begs to talk to her, but she hardly ever answers her phone. It breaks my heart to see this poor little girl starved of her mother's attention and affection. And it makes me want to punch something just that she looks at her daughter and sees a curse, baggage, an annoyance, when my husband and I would give ANYTHING to care for her or our own in a parently way. We both want a child so bad, and seeing this destruction of a toddler's heart is maddening and is a horrible thing to do.

I'm sorry, I just needed to complain about this. Sometimes I just can't stand it.

I'm new to gifs, but I have a huge arsenal of memes!
Wish I could make human babies like I make plant babies!

There's a gazillion of them!!

    Ugh, how terrible. I can understand why that would upset you! That poor little girl! I'm glad she has family to be there for her even though her mom isn't.

    I'm so sorry you have to watch your niece go through that. At least she has other family (you, your H, your FIL) that love and care for her.

    The society we live in today is so full of selfish unempathic/unsympathetic people.  It's really sad and frightening, at times I feel like an alien. I'm not perfect but some people shock me with their behaviour. Your SIL will one day regret how she's acted. At least you and your hubby can be there for your neice.
