Baiting

I honestly think Susan does tis because she gets bored. We have a bin for recyclable material and a bin for non-recyclable material (all households in Ireland operate this system). Putting the right stuff in the right bin is encouraged but not enforced.

I’m not sure how much actually gets recycled but in any case I’m religious about what I put in each bin. Susan is not, not even remotely, she just flings whatever into whatever bin and doesn’t give a hoot. Until she does that is, every now and again she’ll accuse me of getting it all wrong. It’s farcical. I’m certain that she does this just to pick a fight because she wants a fight.

I have learned not to feed the troll.

Attacking me loudly while Emma is asleep is another #baiting technique of hers. She knows I’ll react to try to stop her from waking Emma. She generally wakes Emma regardless of course, sigh!

Straight up Gaslighting is another #baiting technique. She’ll accuse me of:

• Not telling her something.
• Telling her the wrong thing.
• Accusing me of being in a mood.

And so on. All of these things are just indicative of how she just will not leave me alone. It’s exhausting beyond words.

Bating. Trolling. Causing trouble.
