DH's SD and her husband started a GoFundMe page asking for money medical bills. They owe $3000 and she is asking for.... $5000!! Why? So they can spend money on the kids!!

The youngest is in daycare.
The oldest is in 1st grade.
SD is a SAHM.
SD's husband makes close to 6 digits.
They go out for dinner/drinks 2-3 nights a week.

Am I the only one here who thinks this is a bunch of SHITE??????

I disengaged last year and I do absolutely NOTHING for the skids. No baking, no cooking, no laundry, no picking up after them (unless it's on the living room floor and then it is picked up and placed in the trash). I haven't been in the skids' room in MONTHS. Last night, I heard an annoying beeping sound and tracked it down: smoke detector in the skids' room needs a new battery. No, I did NOT change it. I informed DH and he will take care of it.

I had an unusual Mother. She was a rebel when it wasn't COOL for a woman to be a rebel. She secretly climbed trees my grandfather was logging to she could "ride 'em down". She joined the Air Force when women who joined were all considered to be lesbians. The AF is where she met my Dad, they married, she became a housewife and mother, and they had 5 pretty darn awesome kids!

I'll start with some wine and cheese...
