Stepmums Beware
Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
I just received the following Google News Alert for: Stepmother
Daughter breaks mum’s hip in death-bed bust-up
Death-bed bust up?
According to the story, a disgruntled stepdaughter broke “her stepmum’s hip by throwing her to the floor in a hospital bustup …” Poor stepmum is expected to walk with a limp for the rest of her life.
The story says, “relationships in the family had been strained.” Uh, apparently.
Wow. Have all our stepdaughters gone mad? Have we driven them criminal-crazy?
Here’s my advice. The next time your stepdaughter asks to borrow your favorite pair of designer shoes– for God’s sake, let her! Think about it this way: if you say no and then she throws you to the ground and you end up with a shattered hip, you won’t be able to wear them again anyhow.
