Why I aught to...

I've been cranky lately. Three is not helping out. I usually am at my parents' place over the weekend, mostly because 1) they ask me to, and 2) I want to be around people. Three is a tomboy, at least she was until she realized her boyfriend was going away...soon. He's going out of state for college. Now she gets all jazzed up and cares about how things fit. Freaky. He called while we were on our way, to let her know when he had some days off. She was lovey-dovey, and I was making gagging sounds.
Then she got me pissed. Her comment of, "You're just no where near ready for what I have", made me want to laugh and then deck her. This KID is telling me she's ready for a lasting commitment, with both of us knowing that neither of them have ever gone through any really tough times. Oh, you were grounded for two weeks and couldn't see your sweetheart, my heart bleeds for you. Try moving into a house and the big bread winner loses their job and refuses to even look until they feel they have had enough of a 'vacation' when really they're spiraling into a depression that changes your relationship. Just wait til the first time your honey cancels on you, rather than being his usual whipped self. I know how much of a control-freak she is. I know I am going to get a phone call asking me to pick her up because he's acting weird.  They are in their early twenties, when personalities, likes, dislikes, etc become more stable. She only in the last couple years got out of her horrible teenage phase. She's telling me that's she's more mature, more individually formed, and more stable than I. To add insult, she quipped, "I at least have my life in order. I'll get my degree, make lots of money, we'll live in Florida...."
I'm curious to see of she can make it through the time needed for them to finish their degrees. But at least I got to voice the fact that I have known a long time that my job is not going to be my source of happiness. I'm not wired that way. To understand it, you have to know my father. He changes jobs like changing underwear. I grew up understanding that it's the people I surround myself with, give me joy. A job is a job (I just want one that pays more, lol). Guess that's why both of us have gotten burned, trusting bosses/coworkers/friends...
But Three is staking everything on their jobs. I don't remember the last time she went out with gal pals, or anywhere not involving family or Mr THS. Their relationship better work out. After all these snide comments she throws my way, I don't know if I have sympathy for her. She better get accepted to the school she wants, or else she might break knowing her master plan will be off.
So I sit here with a shovel to dig her out if need be. But if she keeps being stuck up, I might bonk her on the head with it. Sucks to be the older sibling.
