A Perfect Example Of A Double Standard.

Soo, I told you all about how snowboarding went, as for the rest of Christmas?  Ehh, not a whole lot to report there.  Nobody is pregnant, gay or anything weirder this year.  There was one exception though.

My uncle Rick comes walking in with his "girlfriend".  Mind you, I don't care for uncle Rick a whole lot in the first place.  He is the black sheep of all my mom's siblings, and he has a kid who is absolutely repulsive in more ways than one.  The kid's mom was one of the strangest people I've ever met and when her and my uncle didn't get along, she took off leaving him with the kid, who is probably 17 now.  Enough about the kid, I could write a whole post on why this kid is fucked up.

So, back to the girlfriend.  I don't pay a whole lot of attention to who anyone is seeing in the family, whether it be my uncles or my cousins or whatever.  I just don't care.  I'm not all that close to any of them.  When Rick and the girl walk in, I immediately recognize her, but I don't know from where.  I keep looking at her, trying not to be obvious and I still don't know why she looks so familiar.  It doesn't hit me until they leave.  She was in my class when I went to school over there.......and, she was a skanky whore...

My family seems to think she's the greatest thing since sliced cheese.  Personally, I think she's a piece of shit, who probably contributed to my "ugly duckling" syndrome as a kid.  What does any of this have to do with anything?  Well, back to my title.  My uncle Rick is 47, she is 31. 16 years....  Y'all know that I'm a "to each his own" kind of girl, but why is it that my relationship with Kyle is such a big deal at an 11 year difference, but it's ok that he's got a 16 year difference.  I REALLY WANNA KNOW why it's ok for a guy to date a significantly younger woman, but it's not ok the other way around.  Hell, I'm not even allowed to bring Kyle with me to any functions that my mother is at, because she doesn't want people to talk....

It's all so annoying.....
