It is one person. My busybody aunt. And this has only started since I have become seperated from my husband. Joey is adjusting pretty good to the sepeartion for the most part, but I tread carefully because I want to ensure that what I do/say is in his best interest.
Here is an example. I haven't talked much to Joey about starting a new school because the school I wish to enroll him in (around the corner) may not take him because he is not Catholic. So I don't want to get him all gung ho about going to that school untill I am sure he will be attending it. (I will find out on Monday) Joey wants to go to his old school, with his old friends, which is not possible because we moved.
My aunt was over visiting my mom while I was at work and told him that he must go to that school. I found later that she had him in tears over that. Then Thursday night (at another uncle's house) she kept hammering at me over the same thing. And "why does Joey not want to do things that her grandkids do, like play baseball or dance". "He needs to do kid things".
blah blah blah bugger off you old hag.
Well he does do kid things, but things that he likes to do not things that others tell him he should like. I am a pretty lenient mom, I have never forced him to do anything he has no interest in. Don't get me wrong, when he joined soccer last year and he didn't really like it I made sure he finished the season, I didn't let him quit. But like he said to me he wants to take karate, not baseball.
I walked away, because my mommy lion instincts are in full swing right now. However, I don't want anybody to get the misconception that I will allow them to walk over me or Joey.
