Let me go on...
She is 18, a real honest-to-god virgin and attractive.
I keep asking her how she will feel if she loses her virginity to a rapist?
You would think that would strike a bone with her, but it only gets her thinking for about two seconds, I can see her brain working, and then she dismisses it.
She also works at a coffee shop and closes by herself at 12:30 am. While cleaning the coffee shop, she opens up all the doors and windows "because it is hot". This is a coffee shop on a beach boardwalk, and anyone that knows the beach, knows that at midnight there is no one around but the bums and low lifes, with the occasional romantic couple. Then she counts the till in the open with all the lights on and all the doors propped open, and walks to her car a mile away (literally) at 1 am to drive home.
She asked my wife to close the coffee shop with her once. I told my wife "no way". My "sis" then asked me why I won't let my wife close the coffee shop with her. I said "because I am responsible for her safety". She asked "well, don't you care about me?". I said, "first of all, I
am directly responsible for my wife's safety, not for my sister in law's. Second, I have told you that you are a fool for closing this place by yourself in the middle of the night with all the doors propped open. Lastly, you are an adult, I have told you it is dangerous, and if you want to endanger yourself that is fine, but my wife is not going to partake in such idiocy".
My wife asked her what she would do if a rapist came into the shop while she was counting the money behind the counter and distracted with her work. She said she would lure them behind the counter and then hop the counter and run away. Yeah, right. Nice plan. Now, how about we get real.
She also goes jogging by herself....at night....
wearing headphones!.
Need I mention that this is in a very huge city with a high crime rate? (She is from Oregon and perhaps thinks everywhere is safe (or safer) like her hometown.
Finally, it gets one step worse: her dad is a police officer of over 30 years! You would think he would have taught her something?
But, I am convinced (I am almost serious here) that it is genetic. Here is why: Her dad is a cop who used to sleep with a gun under his pillow. This was with his first wife. Then, he remarried later to an anti-gun bigot who then had my sister-in-law.
So, my wife got her dad's genes, plus his first wife's genes, and my wife has come along nicely with my help.
My sister in law on the other hand got the tainted genes from the anti-gun bigot mom.
Now, mom and daughter are sheeple, both convinced that "it will never happen to them".
The good thing is, I have taken this sis shooting and she loved it, so she is over her anti-gun silliness, but she is still a sheeple that thinks nothing bad will ever happen to her because "it only happens to other people".
Regarding her sleeping habits, I am quite serious when I say that she acts as an alarm for us. If she wants to sleep in the front room and be the first to get ganked, then hopefully she will scream and wake us up or at least kick the walls if she is being choked to death. As you can tell, I have consoled myself in that I have tried to educate her and I have now given up. If she gets herself killed, it is her problem. My room is very well fortified, and someone can go ahead and come into the home, but they ain't getting into the room without a long fight.
For her benefit, we do live in an extremely safe neighborhood...gated community, strolling security guard, affluent part of town. She may get away with the way she acts, but I am not taking risks with me and mine.
