It's Something Different Every Day with the SKIDS
So periodically I check SD22's Facebook page to get a "temperature" on where things are. My DH was telling me that she was "warming" back up to me. I didn't believe him. This week I sent over with him a stroller that went with the carseat that I had already given her. The woman that I got the carseat from gave me the stroller to go with it. So rather than giving it to someone else, I told my DH to go ahead and take it over to SD22.
Even last week I was shopping and saw a cute diaper bag that I knew she would like and thought about getting it -- very glad I didn't get it.
So anyways, this is the same SD that told her dad about a two months ago that if she got married that she didn't want me at the wedding --- she is also preggers. She was living with us when she found out she was preggers. I was very supportive of her, more so than anyone else. Helped her get set up on state medical, etc. No thank you, but whatever. I didn't expect it. So long story short, she made us out to be the bad guys, we gave her two options, and she chose to move out. So the story she tells everyone is that her dad kicked his pregnant daughter out. And she tells us that this is what everyone is saying. Again, whatever.
So now, she tells her dad that she is now not talking to her biological mom and is never having anything to do with her every again. Again, whatever. She's said that about my DH. She's said this about her BM before. I'm not buying it. So my DH is telling me SD22s "story" and boy what a story it was. I was so irritated by the time he was done -- about all this stuff that BM allegedly did, that I actually looked at him and told him that I didn't believe a word that SD said. I told him that BM probably didn't do any of that, and I thought that SD22 was probably a little bi*** to BM and step dad and we don't even know what SD22s conversation was towards them. I'm betting that if its been anything like her conversations with us, they were awful. Plus SD posted a nasty, horrible post to BM on BMs FB page shortly after their fight. Weird thing though -- they're all still "friends" on FB. So I'm not buying all this "warring".
So to why I'm posting. After my DH gave her the stroller....he made it sound like SD was "warming up" to me. I wasn't buying it. I checked her FB page (she's not one of my friends, but I can still look). She happened to put that she had registered at babiesrus, so I thought I would look to see what she wanted for the baby because my DH is getting excited about having a grandson. I didn't realize that on that site the person can post who the grandparents are. SD posted the grandparents as the father of the baby's, and my DH as the grandparent. SD didn't list me or her own BM. This was done right after I gave her the stroller -- among ALL the other stuff I've given her and done for her.
I told my husband to quit trying to "soften" her up and to quit telling me crap that she is "warming" up to me because she is not. I told him to quit making me feel bad and asking me to try to be "civil" to her -- his comment was that he just wanted us to "both be civil" to each other. I nearly blew a gasket because I have been civil to that little brat. I couldn't believe what I was hearing out of his mouth. Then he says last night that he doesn't want me going to her FB page anymore....and I told him that it helps me to know what the reality is, not what "his" reality is. I told him that I'm not doing shit for her anymore. NOTHING. I don't want her or the baby coming over her. I don't want to babysit the baby --- because what I see happening is her using that baby as a weapon to manipulate and use us. He says "what am I supposed to do if I'm going to babysit" --- I said you can go over there. I don't want her here.
I've had some issues this last week of wanting to leave again. The younger two have really been trying me and my patience. They purposefully do things to irritate and anger me, and my DH does NOTHING. Nothing. There's a shock.
Thank you all for listening, if anyone reads.

maux and snickersgal ....you
maux and snickersgal ....you both are so right. I didn't believe it when he told me. She hasn't changed in all these years, why would she change now? Only because she wants something from us/me -- and that would be $$$$$$$/presents for her soon-to-be new baby. Sheesh! My DH tires me out. It pissed me off when he said that he wanted us to be "civil" to each other. Seriously? WTH!! What have I not done that is not civil to her, except when I'm reacting to her outrageously horrible behavior? Good grief!
I'm seriously thinking that I don't know if I want to keep up this charade. I was unhappy from the start of this marriage, I'm unhappy now almost 5 years into it. Why would anything ever change. He is blissfully unaware and/or ostriching that things are so wonderful in our marriage. Wow! Blows my mind. I hardly ever want sex, but yet he thinks things are fine in our relationship??!! hmm
