The Moral High Ground

Can I just say how much I love being able to take the moral high ground?  So I'm not perfect ok?  But I get such satisfaction knowing that the person arguing with me really doesn't have a leg to stand on.  Or maybe the people who pick fights with me (or do I pick fights with them?  If so it's not intentional.) are just a bit lacking in the intelligence department.  I'll be honest here.  I don't really argue with anyone other than The Ex and his moronic girlfriend theses days.  And I only argued with her once and that was because she butted in to a row between The Ex and me.  I don't know her well enough to pick a fight with.  She claims otherwise though.  This very day she claimed such to my lovely boyfriend.  Unfortunately for her, he not only knows me very well, but he was present at the occasions to which she was alluding, and included in the Facebook conversation.  Also my boyfriend is not a moron.  My standards greatly improved after The Ex.  And a couple of other rather large errors in judgement.  I like to think I have at last learnt my lesson.  He has a degree in physics.  Not that I'm meaning to brag.  As someone who couldn't hack A Level physics, I am generally in awe of anyone who can actually manage to get a degree in the subject.  Much intelligence is needed for such a feat.  And he shares my liking for honesty.  She is no more honest than The Ex is.  I believe some interesting conversations are ahead.  I wonder what she'll claim next?  And I can't decide if I'm more cross or amused.  I am enjoying the moral high ground though.  Generally I don't have to tell lies about others to win a row.  I might exaggerate the odd detail now and again, but I never tell outright lies about anyone.  And definitely not to people who know the person in question better than I do.

I just hope my daughter comes to appreciate mine and my boyfriend's honesty over her father and step-mother's lies.  I'm becoming more and more scared that she's ging to end up more like them, which is possibly silly.  But I'm not sure.  Like I said, I may be an honest sort, but I'm not perfect and she knows this.  Hell, she's nine and thinks she knows better than I do.  But I love her, and I want what's best for her.  I'm not sure the same can be said about The Ex and Step-Mum.  Hell, Step-Mum criticised me for being capable of considering any money spent on my child a waste, even it was spent on something she didn't need and was consequently not going to wear.  Financial responsibility is lost on some people it seems.  Oh well.
