For whatever her thinking the RebelJunior doesn't like the second hand cell I picked up for her after cell #3, or was it #4? died on her. After swapping phone with friends, sharing, losing and breaking this is where I decided to end the cell phone follies.
She refuses to use the little K-razr or whatever it is I picked up for her. She thinks she can do better with another phone with another contract from dear ole Disneyland Dad who has been sucked into her rationale. Because she won't use the phone she's been given, she asked her sister to borrow her phone to send some texts.
Of course Rebel refused because she has been aware of the nonsense with the phones from the start of the cell saga. Much affronted RJ told her father, the SU, who then attempted to intervene on her behalf with Rebel. That didn't go well. Given any amount of resentment Rebel already has towards her sister, their father and all things financial, she told her dad in no uncertain terms she was not going to share her phone.
Unfortunately SU chose this as a big deal issue. He started in on sharing and how he shared his car with her and he would say no "next time." And Rebel let him have it. The way she has been known to let me have it. Full force foul language and loud voice.
I heard about all this when I returned home from running errands. SU was quite taken aback by it all. "She wouldn't share," he said "I always share everything, and she wouldn't do this one thing."
I had no idea where to start on this one. "And you're surprised by this because...?" I asked. Again he went on his sharing jag. I think he was more surprised by Rebel's attack and the fact that she let him have it both barrels. It probably was not the right thing for her to do, however this was probably a case of the straw breaking the proverbial camel's back.
With both girls hanging around and within ear shot all I could say at that point was,
"Share? You share what? Your time? Your values? What is that you share? All they see is you share your money. That's it. And this is where it has led. What else could you expect? You haven't really shared much else if truth be told."
The man was still walking around shell shocked a day later.

WoW! While I am not fond of her method of delivery I am happy to read that Rebel stood up to her father and stood her ground. She isn't obligated to share her phone. Especially when RJ could use the one you provided her.
WTF? Krazr isn't a bad phone. My guess is that it is old school compared to what all her friends have. So sad. Get a babysitting job little girl and pay for your own fancy phone.
It may not have been the right time for Rebel to have her say but she had obviously hit her point of enough. It is sad. HE created this. He has shown such blatant favoritism towards RJ that it was bound to blow up in his face sooner or later. Rebel is strong and feisty now and had the strength to finally let him have it.
Is he still walking around all Shell-Shocked today? I hope he is. Did he get RJ a new cell?
*hugs*
