I'm back, because I have something eating at my craw, and I need to vent.

Bailey and her boyfriend, who--have I told you--is also named Bailey are having issues, and it is all because of his mother. First, you need to know that she home schooled him until this year because she thought he would be corrupted by the public schools, which, she perceives, are full of evil.

Now, he attends Prestonwood Christian Academy with our Bailey. They both are Freshmen, who are part of the high school here.

Last summer, he asked his mother and dad if he could begin seeing our Bailey socially. They said that he could so long as they were with parents or in a group.

Then, she changed her mind about a month ago, stating that she only wanted him to "court" girls....but not date them. He asked if he could still take Bailey to the Homecoming dance, which is this weekend. She said he could. Then Thursday, she changed her mind and said he could not attend the dance.

She has now decided her son cannot attend because it is being sponsored by PCA parents rather than the school, and she just does not consider that an "appropriate" environment. She has known this from the beginning.

She also previously told the two of them that if either began "dirty dancing" at the homecoming dance, the other should immediately call her. Bailey can barely dance, much less "dirty dance." I suspect her son is the same.

Needless to say, Bailey is really upset. She has been looking forward to this since school began. Holly had already bought her a beautiful new pair of heels and spent $50 dollars to buy him a fancy garter, which, evidently is part of the tradition.

She has pulled such stunts as telling them not to hold hands after they went to a football game with her parents, and she saw a photo his grandfather took of the two of them holding hands in a picture with his grandmother.

Once, when they were using their I-pads to talk, she watched and told Bailey to change her shirt, because she could see her bra through her shirt.

This woman is either a religious freak, a control freak, or she just doesn't like Bailey. At any rate, Holly and Bevan have finally had enough.

They have decided it is time to have a chat with his parents, as she constantly keeps Bailey crying and upset.
