Bitchy? Is that one of the seven Dwarfs?

So many things I would like to talk about....I'll start with this.

My family is clearly fucking dysfunctional...always has been. No surprise there. But here is the newest bit of dysfunctionality (a word? maybe, maybe not).

I am adopted as you all know. I also have four sisters - one who was born to my parents and 3 who were also adopted at different times from different biological parents.

The biologically-born sister is the one next up in age from me. We'll call her Bitchy.

Anyhoo, Bitchy has decided (and told my mother) that when my mom dies Bitchy should get a larger share of the inheritance because of all she had to miss out on by not being a single child. You know, what with my parents adopting all of us extraneous children she didn't get the life that she deserved.

I have issues with this.

Firstly, I don't know whose family she's been livin' in but there is not going to BE an inheritance (the more I look at that word I think it should have an "e" instead of an "a") We are not "an inheritance" kind of family.

And secondly, I was adopted when she was 4 or 5. What the hell makes her think that my parents should have consulted with her on their family plans and would she feel the same way if all the rest of us had been biological? I think she would because she is a bitter woman who thinks that life owes her.

My youngest sister, we'll call her Red, was considering not coming to Xmas dinner because she has a hard time with the snarky comments that Bitchy makes (never around me though).

I actually asked my mom what was the big deal and my mom informed me that Bitchy had, among other things last year, said to Red that my daughter, Potatie was a little chunky to be eating like she was.

Hell, no.

You did NOT just insult my child's weight, you big-mouthed, cankle-owning, selfish, money-grubbing bitch.

Christmas is going to be quite interesting this year.

Too bad I didn't have a web cam - I'd let you all watch.
