Hateful - Nasty - Mean - Horrible...

Traci called Brad this afternoon.  I don't know how the whole conversation went, but it ended with her telling him that he's UN-invited to his cousin's birthday/Eagle Scout Graduation party next weekend.  Really?  She has the power in that family to UN-invite people to other people's parties?  Amazing!  I wouldn't have the nerve.  Of course, she got Brad all worked up - which I'm sure was the intention all along.  Why can't she just leave it go?  If she can't say something nice, just don't call.  We're getting through the days without her.  No problems - no meltdowns - no arguments.  We're doing okay.  Then, she calls and we've got a sullen kid for most of the night.  Thanks, Traci.
