Moral polar opposites!

Do you have any idea how mad it can drive a person to be married to someone who is his moral polar opposite?  Okay, maybe that’s stretching it a little, but still…..

Mama just called me, asking if we have a spare heater in the house.  My sister Joyce just moved into a house, and she has ONE heater for the whole house, so she’s cold.  There happens to be one heater that I don’t think is in use….checking with Stacy to see for sure.  

Laurie got all bent out of shape about it, when she found out, which was right after the call from Mama.  Laurie says that she’s tired of Joyce taking and taking, never contributing anything.  While I understand (and even agree) with that, this is not about something trivial.  This is something important, AND we have a two year old nephew living in that house, too!!!!!!!!  He’s not there right now, thank God!

When things like this happen, I immediately think of our grandchildren.  If THEY were in a bad spot…like our nephew Hunter is….would I want someone who holds a grudge against their parent to deny my grandchildren something that they NEED?  Hell no!  I pointed this out to Laurie, but she doesn’t seem to think it’s the same.  Well, IT IS the same, except, of course, it’s my nephew and not my grandchild!  He’s my MOTHER’S grandchild, though!

I’ve always felt Laurie’s moral compass was out of whack, and this just confirms the thought.  I’m HOPING she comes around on it, because if Stacy isn’t using the heater, I’m going to give it to Joyce, no matter what Laurie says.  It’d be really nice if she’d agree with me that it is the right thing to do.
