Janice had never been more pissed at her daughter. She had to slam the phone down in disgust. Her daughter, Erin, had just called her to break the news. Janice's grandson, Erin's son, Danny, had proposed to his girlfriend. Just hearing this made Janice slam down the phone. How could Erin be this stupid? How could she let this happen?
Danny had come from a long line of sluts. Erin had always been a little slut, and Janice had been the same. Janice had slept around quite a bit in her younger days, resulting in her pregnancy at the age of 15. Her parents were very strict, and forced the boy responsible to stay by her side and eventually marry her. As her friends graduated high school, Janice was the married mother of a three year-old little girl, Erin.
Inevitably, Erin's father left Janice. He was too immature to handle the responsibility of being a parent. But Janice was. She had learned her lesson. Having a child that young made her realize the error of her ways. She knew she had to grow up fast to be a good mother to Erin. Her parents had disowned her after getting pregnant, and with her child's father now out of the picture, she was on her own. Janice buckled down, worked hard, and got through the next few years putting a meal on her daughter's table.
She had learned what not to do from her parents in relation to raising a child. Her parents were very cold and strict and just plain sticks in the mud. In that environment, of course she would rebel. So she vowed it would be different with Erin. She would be a good mother.
Her treatment of her daughter was strict but fair. She wasn't as cold and heartless as her parents had been. She let her make her own mistakes, small ones, but she also reinforced the important things. She didn't want her daughter to be a young mother like she had been. Janice was resistant when Erin reached the age when boys were interested in her. Janice made it clear how much work it had been to raise her as a single mother. She did not want her to repeat the same mistakes.
In her own opinion, Janice was doing a great job as a mother. And how did Erin repay her? She got knocked up by some dumb jock when she was fifteen. Janice was furious with her. Janice had done all the right things with her. She had poured her blood, sweat, and tears into giving Erin a good life, and Erin just ignores her like an insolent little bitch.
It was at this point that the rift between Janice and her daughter formed. Janice tried to be as supportive as she could, but Erin suddenly thought she knew how the world worked. Janice tried, she really did. She wanted Erin to stay with her during the pregnancy so the child would have a positive female influence in her life, but Erin wanted to live with her burnout boyfriend, who had left his parents home to live by himself. Janice just knew that this was a mistake and she tried to put her foot down, preventing Erin from leaving. But she didn't listen. At six months pregnant, Erin was out of the house, living with her boyfriend, and for the first time, Janice was alone.
Janice cut her daughter off. If she thinks she could get by on her own, then that's what she'll get, Janice thought. She had been working for so long. And she had been so focused on raising her daughter, and being a good mother, that she never took time for herself. Now there she was, thirty years old, single, and alone. A thirty year old grandmother. She had sacrificed her own personal life for her daughter, and her daughter repaid her by abandoning her. A permanent rift had been created between mother and daughter, a rift that Janice would never forget.
Their relationship remained strained by the time Erin gave birth. She delivered a beautiful boy, Danny. He was the first boy in a long line of girls their family had had through the years. Janice tried to play a large role in his life, but Erin would never let her around. Finally, Erin and the boyfriend decided to move across the country. Janice was furious at her daughter for this. She just waited for the day that she would come crawling back, baby in tow, admitting that Janice was right.
But that day never came. Janice was not surprised, though, when Erin called her letting her know her then-husband had left her. Shocker! But Janice was surprised when Erin didn't beg to come home. It seemed as if she was too proud to admit she was wrong. Two can play at that game, Janice thought. Janice would not beg for her to come back. If she wants to be on her own, she would be on her own.
They corresponded occasionally, but for the most part, Janice had moved on. Not having a daughter to support freed her up in way. She was now able to pursue her personal life, and this did not present her any problems, because she was spectacularly gorgeous. Having a child had not decreased her looks one bit. In fact, it had only added to her attractiveness. It did not take her long to settle down with a good man. A good, rich man.
Janice had married him quickly. For the first time in her life, she was financially set. Her new husband insisted that she didn't work. He was old fashioned in that sense. He was fifteen years older than she was, and liked to live the good life. He had a nice house, nice clothes, and nice cars. He wanted her to enjoy this life. Janice did not fight him. Quite frankly, she felt like she deserved it. She had been working hard for almost fifteen years. Now she had something to show for it.
Unfortunately, not all good things last. Janice's husband passed away after about fifteen years of marriage. All of his riches were left to her. Janice mourned for a good while before finally deeming it necessary to move on. Just because her husband had died didn't mean she had to spend the rest of her life mourning. He wouldn't want that. So, Janice moved on.
It was the unwelcome loneliness that followed her husband's death that made her realize she wanted to reconnect with her daughter and grandson. She had visited sporadically through the years. Janice had been taken aback by Erin's parenting style. She was one of those new-age, hands off parents that did things the opposite way they needed to be done. Despite this, Danny was turning into a good young man. He had a good head on his shoulders and would turn into a good man as long as some of Erin's tendencies didn't get passed onto him.
This was why she was so mad when Erin called to tell her Danny had proposed to his girlfriend. Erin knew what a mistake it was to get married so young, having experienced it herself, and seeing her parent's divorce so young. He was only 18! If Erin were any sort of mother she would try to talk him out of it. But no, she was excited. She was supportive of Danny's decision. Stupid woman! This little slut that Danny was marrying probably wanted to get into Danny's pants. Wanted to get a good young man like him locked down. If this little slut gets pregnant, that would ruin what could possibly a great future for him. Janice knew she had to do something about this.
Janice knew that Erin had never exactly raked it in. She had done just well enough to get by. Janice had offered to help, but Erin had resisted. She was too proud to accept help and give her son a better life. Also, this young girl that Danny had proposed to, LeAnn, did not have a lot of money either. This gave Janice her plan, her way to get involved in this wedding, and try to talk Danny out of this foolish marriage. To do what a good mother should. She calmed herself, picked up the phone, and dialed her daughter back.
"Hello?" Erin said.
"Darling, it's me. " Janice said. "Sorry I hung up."
"Are you mad about this? Why aren't you excited? Danny's getting married!" Erin said naively.
"Honey, you know how difficult it was being married so young. It didn't work for you, and it didn't work for me. I just... do you think this is a good idea?" Janice asked.
"Of course! He deserves it! He's such a good boy. And LeAnn's a sweet girl. They'll be so cute together." Erin said. Janice couldn't help but exhale loudly in annoyance.
