So, I got the story. Big Picture is that Munchkin was alone all day and had heard from Toxic Troll an hour before she called DH, with promises from her mother of food and ice cream. It was just taking a while (1 freaking hour).

I get that she wants to be with us, I also get that its a long time alone, but she needs to buck up and understand that creating drama will eventually drive me away.

Im so burned out on steplife, we couldnt even get away for 2 days, 2 nights before drama. Its always drama. Thanks for listening to my drivel!

DH has done a complete reversal on his quest to jump through hoops for Toxic Troll BM.

She asked for this week to do some mysterious ...traveling.... to a place that cannot be named...that exists in Southern California ... that has a mouse and a duck .... and princesses...

And in return we"get" this weekend to do "our thing", which is enjoy our first year of wedded bliss.

So what does DH do, as she is currently driving back to our town?

He asks Munchkin SD13, "how would you feel if your mother went to Disneyland without you?"

Remember Dr Dolittle's Push-Me-Pull-you, sort of an alpaca type creature with 2 heads?

I am experiencing some internal conflict and this time DH made notice and spoke of it. So funny because he sees the outward manifestation of things, comments and then I think about it and figure out the source.

You see, I have a reall good relationship with Munchkin SD13. We have these great conversations, she shares her feelings and all is good in the world. If there is a flare of something, we work it out, work past it, or move on from it. I love her very much.

I need some advice Steptalkers.

What should I do?

I like and enjoy social media, perhaps a bit too much. I do both Instagram and Facebook, while Dh does mainly Facebook. He has an instagram account, however he doesnt use it at all, really, hasnt even made a single post until yesterday, but Ill get to that in a sec.
