Ss had chosen to go to a football tournament this weekend,  according to a recent email from bm. Whatever, Thursdays contact  i made sure I stayed out the way ,coz no I was not providing a card or present to get him in the good books.

Ss text dh happy fathers day, which I thought was even more rubbish he couldn't pick up the phone and/or say sorry I didn't give you a card!

We pulled off a nice bbq for dh and his family. Sil asks me in the kitchen where ss is , at a tournament apparently,  eyeroll. 'Oh what a shame you'd think he'd at least want to pop In ?' Apparently not.

So then mil and fil arrive and we have 'wheres ss' all over... bigger eye roll.

Sil then asks dh the same question again directly in the garden .I'm thinking,  hmm does she think I'm lying? Or there's a different story? Hmm. By this point I felt like shouting 'right ss has chosen not to be here, that's quite obvious Is it not?! So can you please put yourself in dhs position and not mention the selfish little twerp again?!'

I made myself very busy in the kitchen and with the kids....
