"We have the same dad, Lardo."

Malachy spent the weekend with Justin, and I picked him up Sunday.  We went back to my step dad's to have dinner for Father's Day.  My almost 10 year old neice was there.  Lately she hasn't really been coming around too much lately.  She is being raised by her other grandparents, and they are far

I don't get it. She's almost 10. Who lets her get away with saying what she wants and doesn't want without taking into consideration other people?

When she was 3 my brother-in-law got diagnosed with pancriatic cancer. When he passed away, insted of my sister trying to get custody, her other grandparents kept her. Mike had been living with them while he was sick, and to my sister it just made sense to stay where she was. But the other grandparents don't like my family too much. We are true southerners, hunting and fishing, southern baptist, ya'll, kind of people. They moved down here from Michigan a little before my sister and Mike met. They don't think very highly of us, and have been planning to move back for a while now. The only reason they don't is because of my sister. We went from seeing her 4 or 5
