Teen Angst

Little Miss has gotten herself into some trouble with her Little Man. Seems she was online chatting with an ex-boyfriend’s best friend and Little Man found out. Here’s the thing, I’ve told Little Miss time and time again that exes of friends and friends of exes are all off limits all of the time. There is no exception to this rule. I don’t care what they tell you on soap operas or teen melodramas. It’s crass, disrespectful, and always leads to problems.

But she didn’t listen to me. She and her Little Man were fighting so she decided to go online and found her exes best friend. I don’t know what they said to each other initially, but I ended up putting an end to it because I had issues with the fact that he was a friend of an ex and her beau was surely going to find out. We got into a big argument because she didn’t understand how she could possibly be demeaning herself by talking to this boy (”Hey, baby, why you don’t wanna call me?”) I had huge issues with it all and made her get offline.

So today her blunder has come to fruition. She is trying desperately to explain to her friend why she was talking to this other boy online. Of course, he found out because he knows both the ex and the friend of the ex. The ex’s girlfriend was calling the house harassing Little Miss until I called the police. Anyway, I hate to tell her that the tired “Told you so” line, but what do you tell her when she’s reaping exactly what I told she would reap?

I hope this time she learns her lesson. I’m always telling her that whatever you put out into the world will come back to haunt you (or reward you, if it’s good). I strongly believe this because I’ve always found it to be true. Little Miss, though, is one of those people that has to find out the hard way. And she doesn’t want to find out by doing good and getting good in return. Sh’s more interested in seeing what she can get away with and how long she can get away with it. It’s very frustrating. She wants me to comfort her, but I don’t think I can.

I’m sure she’ll work it out with her Little Man. I just wish she’d realize that her life really doesn’t have to be as hard as she keeps making it.
