Entitlement

I post about this alot.  Because it DRIVES. ME. C R A Z Y!!!

I've been frustrated often, but also VERY blessed to have had to WORK for everything.

I take advantage of Veterans Day perks because I gave 5 years of my life to the military, served honorably and left with an honorable discharge.

I bask in Mother's Day accolades because I have had 6 little humans that I created come out of my nether regions, and I have nurtured them for weeks, months, and years.

I dictate who comes into my home and how they behave in my home because in a joint effort with My Husband, I pay the bills, keep the home, and clean it.

And it's going to happen.  This Mother's Day, my BIL's girlfriend is going to be applauded for being the mother to 2 cats in the EXACT same sentence as I'm going to be acknowledged for having 5 kids.....Not 6 kids, 2 cats, and 5 chickens.

It's FINE to have the best.  IF you earned it. But don't EVER expect to have the best because your cousin does, and they should share.

If I am not happy with small, or used, that's my prerogative.  As long as I am willing to make the sacrifices necessary to have better.
