Hi,
I blogged here some weeks ago and asked for advice about my husband's birthday dinner and should I include SD. She and I have been estranged for several years now and last time I included her in a dinner she was rude to me in front of my guests. Your advice to me was to be nice and have DH invite her since it was his birthday. FYI - DH asked if I would personally invite her but I said no on that one: I personally invited her last time, she was rude and DH did not stand up for me.

But anyway, followed your advice, took the high road and SD cancelled at the last minute - big surprise. :sick: Her excuse was that she was sick - which I don't believe for a minute. However, I still am glad that I heeded your advice because I ended up looking like the good guy.

Thanks - steps!

These young women are so damned stupid because their parents ALLOW them to behave this way. The last time SD disrespected me, I told DH and he said since he didn't see the behavior he couldn't address it. My response - maybe you should believe your wife and stand up for her. DH just doesn't get it and continues to enable. If he won't stick up for me - then I will. I disengage and draw clear boundaries and the next time (if there is a next time) that SD is rude to me I will call her out regardless of who is in the room.
