Attention Whore

I was reading the comments posted to my last entry, and the "new" news was brought up. I guess the real news is that my future SIL is an attention whore. However, that isn't anything new, and probably doesn't qualify as news.

Nic(ass)hole has been trying to steal Jeanette's thunder from the beginning of her pregnancy. It has been very transparent.

Jeanette announced she was pregnant, then low and behold - so did
Nic(ass)hole. Then, seemingly moments later, she had a miscarriage. I don't believe she was actually ever pregnant, but the announcement served its purpose. It gave her attention when the spotlight was on Jeanette, and it lit a fire under Jim. The "happy couple" had been loosely talking about marriage, but once the baby drama happened, plans were made post-haste.

The attention whoring doesn't stop there. Jeanette's original due date was Nov. 1st. So, Nic(ass)hole set the date for her wedding, Oct 10th, just two weeks before. Coincidence? C'mon now! If you think having a wedding just two weeks before a baby is being born is a coincidence I have some beach front property to sell you in Kansas.

What more could this girl do to try to keep the spotlight on herself? Let me tell you!

She shows up at Jeanette's baby shower (a party to which she declined the invitation) and announces she is pregnant! Is she pregnant? Only time will tell, but let's assume for the moment she is. Wouldn't she still have been pregnant the following day? Following week? Was it necessary to make such an announcement on a special day we had reserved for Jeanette? For an attention-whore...of course it was!!

My prediction is she will have another "miscarriage" within a day or 2 of when Jeanette gives birth. Again, attempting to cause a shift of attention towards her. It is really the perfect plan. The baby is due in about 8 weeks. She won't be showing by that time, since she is a bit chubby and it usually takes longer to show. The perfect scenario.

Of course, the other possibility is that she really is expecting. If that is true, I think it is interesting to say the least. When Jeanette first became pregnant Nic(ass)hole had all sorts of nasty things to say. Things like Jeanette can't afford a baby, and is going to end up on welfare and she (Nicasshole) doesn't work hard to support people like her. And...didn't she ever hear of birth control?

I suppose money isn't an issue because her family will support her, but from what I understand Jim isn't really rolling in dough himself. We had to lend him money for gas to get back and forth to work just a few months ago, and just a couple of weeks ago, again he stated he didn't have money for gas. Such dire finances and now they are having a baby? Perhaps someone should ask her "Haven't you ever heard of birth control?"
