Bratty SD's bday

NumbSM's picture

Not sure what to do. Bratty, disrespectful, ungrateful SD's bday coming up and I'm usually the one that gets her gifts for our family. Well after proclaiming last week that she hates me, I really do not want to spend my hard earned money on her. I only contemplate it because it would hurt my husbands feelings and probably start an argument. Only a few people know my true feelings about her and he is not one of them. It would crush him if I said I can't stand the bi$&@!!! I'm trying to disengage but also want to be a better person and try to show love and maybe teach her some things that her BM has no capability of doing. I'm to the point tho that just seeing and listening to her makes me want to puke!!!!
She also told me that BM is not giving her a party so she wanted one! I don't have any intent on doing that. Maybe I can do this with baby steps. Lol

Let her dad get the gift and do the party. Tell him you don't do these things for people who tell you they hate you. That's not telling him you hate her it's simply teaching life skills people dont do nice things for rude hateful disrespectful people

I've thought about that but he would go and spend a couple hundred bucks on her and she would use it once and that's it. She so unappreciative!! I guess I can't control everything but she doesn't deserve high dollar stuff!! At least I could control how much we spend. Dollar tree sounds pretty good at this point!!!

The one thing you need to remember is if you plan this party, you are setting precedent. I guess you could make suggestions to DH on what HE could do for SD's birthday... you just may be opening a can of worms that will last for years!
