Why did she say that!

[1stluvispooh]

Last night my daughter had brownie meeting. The parents were also having a meeting since they are bridging to juniors next month. Well there happens to be another mom who well for lake of a better phrase always has something negative to say or tries to make herself sound superior mostly because of her religion (No I'm not bashing her religion, trust me.) Any way I was walking to the car with a friend my friend said "When mom A said x I just wanted to say "well thanks Debbie Downer." Why did my friend say this because now when mom A says anything negative, which will be the next time we get together I'm going to be biting my tongue not to say Thanks Debbie Downer.

Why not say it out loud? Sometimes that's all it takes to make someone know that you are onto their ways.

I know it's not easy for most people to do that, but, much to my Mom's dismay, I've always been very comfortable in speaking my mind when someone tries to negatively affect me.

Or you could call her "Nancy Negative"

I usually do to. I guess I just don't know her well enough but trust me on the verge.

DH has one brother whom I adore. Best BIL ever. Then there's the other brother. Yes, he's smart, but heck.....so is the pleasant one. The unpleasant one is the most arrogant, condescending, intellectual snob you will ever meet. Not only WILL he argue with a fence post, he MUST argue with a fence post. There is no conversation so trivial, so unrelated to anything within his realm of experience that he will not kill himself in an effort to show he knows more than you regarding that issue. (Anyone remember the infamous "beans in the pie crust vs. fork-hole poking" disagreement? This from a man who has never baked a pie. )

Years ago, he got all superior and it irritated the crap out of me. In a way, he's a bully, just not a physical bully. The others are used to his obnoxious behavior and simply endure it, but in my family, we call people on it when they act like that. So I went all Julia Sugarbaker on him....which apparently, no one had ever done before....and everyone was left slack-jawed and speechless.....including him. Later, my DH said, "I know he can get on your nerves and he's not that nice, but that's just the way he is." I said, "The way he is, is an ***hole and if someone in your family had explained to him what an ***hole he was years ago, he might have straightened up before now." And I was dead serious.

Sometimes, you've got to call it what it is. And if she's a Debbie Downer.....Well, maybe if she was made aware of it, she'd turn the dial down a bit.
