Update on the Twittering Twit

Patsy's picture

I got home with little time to get to the ball fields. That was the way I planned it so I wouldn't get into an argument with Dh before DD's game. I had the picture I had taken of SD's tweet saying how nice it would be if I would just die in my pocket just waiting for the moment when DH wanted to talk to me. For a minute I thought we would get to the game without any questions, but no DH couldn't hold off.

DH was helping me load the equipment and the so very familiar request came "We really need to talk."
I tell him, "We do, but lets wait until after the game, but for now you can look over this. Don't react or say a word about it to me until the game is over." There was no denying that this was Sd's page because it hade her pictures on the left and her full name on top so I did not feel like it needed an explanation.

The game before us is running late, so I am on the other side of the dug out going over my batting order when I hear FIL's voice. I couldn't help but perk my ears up. I am not sure if FIL saw me or even if DH did for that matter because with the delay of the game we had twice as many people at the field. I would like to think they didn't , but either way it doesn't matter much.

FIL says to my DH, "You know I was thinking about what you said last night and your wrong SD is your priority not Patsy. SD and I talked today and she let me know what is really going on."
DH: Really did she call you?
FIL: No I called her. I wanted to hear her side.
DH: Dad I'll talk to you after the game about it.
FIL: Well you have a big problem with your wife and she is going to ruin any relationship you have with SD.
DH: You don't know what your talking about!
DH is getting pretty loud so I come out so I can be seen. Hoping they will not cause a scene.
By then I see FIL looking at the picture I printed off. I was on my way over to them by the time I saw this so I just pretended I was getting a drink from the cooler. It took all I had not to say anything to FIL, but I refrained.
FIL folded the paper like it was a secret from me....IDIOT!

I had so much adrenaline running through me by then I was so stoked to win this game now. I felt like it was the championship game! I got my girls excited too and by the time I sent them on the field they felt 10ft tall and bullet proof. My pitcher threw a 3 no hit innings! We had three grand slams (one was dd's Smile ) ZERO ERRORS in the field and 4 double plays! We beat the first place team by 13 to 3. When the ump asked if we wanted to enforce the 10 run rule and call the game my girls answer a huge NO, unfortunately the opposing team's coach didn't want to go on.

We were on such a high after that game you would have thought it was college ball! I got so many texts and calls from parents about how much the girls are in love with softball this year! I felt so good. I really needed that! When the game is over and parents aren't rushing their kids off to get home, but instead gathering to talk and gloat about them. NOW THAT IS WHEN YOU KNOW IT WAS A GOOD GAME!

My DH was the first to come on the field and landed a big old fat kiss on me. LOL if people would have really known how much that game meant to me they would have understood the little bit of PDA display. Smile

It may have not have been a championship game but I won so much more than that last night.

BTW DH left me a little note this morning under my coffee mug.

"I'm sorry I didn't defend you to SD. It was wrong and it won't happen again. She knows I saw it and she knows I will not see her until it is taken down and an apology is put up instead. I love you. You are my one. -Love, ME"

It was a good night all around for you! Congrats on the great game!

I hope your DH is getting a special night tonight.

Also, maybe you can slyly ask your SD to post stupid shit before every game, you will go undefeated LMAO!

Well it has proven on here many times that it takes men a few times for something to sink in...how many games do you have to go LOL.

So happy he is doing the right thing and standing up for you to everyone! And for him to come up and plant a big kiss on you like that is just pure romance! Yeah, FIL probably won't even appologize. Sometimes the in laws are worse than the BM's and SK's!
Good for you and DH!!!

The kiss was almost comical. People must have really thought DH and I were nuts! DD didn't even say anything about it. Trust me she is the first one to get on us about what she calls PDA. LOL I have to inform her our living room is not public.

FIL has never really liked me. He thinks I took his boy from him. DH use to visit FIL often, but now he doesn't. He only lives about 2 blocks from us so FIL just assumes I am holding his kid hostage! He never thought it could be because DH got tired of putting up with a belligerent drunk. DH's rule use to be if we visit his dad we have to be out of there by 9 because FIL turns into Mr. Hyde. Well recently DH tells me he doesn't go over there much because his dad turns into Mr. Hyde by five or so now.

Seriously awesome story!!! I felt like I was there! Yay to you and DH. And FIL can pound sand.

Let's hope precious snowflake SD17 doesn't find a way to talk her way out of this one. She deserves the familial scorn for her public rant.

Enjoy this one, Patsy!

FIL has always been an ass to me. He is set in his ways that what the man says is what goes. He was the only person I have ever met that didn't laugh at the whole dishes story.

You know the one when his son and I first moved in together and his son told me to do dished. I gathered all the dishes in the sink and threw them on the patio and said "There the dishes are done."

Yeah FIL did not think that was funny at all and pretty much hasn't liked me since and that was 16 years ago so I'm not holding my breath.

Don't feel bad. My grandmother never liked my mom. My parents have been married for almost 25 years (my step dad is to me my real dad). A little less than 4 years ago we were moving grandma to assisted living and she proceeds to tell my aunts, dad's sisters, that my dad beats my mom and is on drugs/addicted to drugs and that my mom might kill herself. My dad has never even raised his voice at my mother and the only drugs he was on was his chemo treatments and lorotab. My mom is the last person that would kill herself either, she couldn't, it isn't in her. Come to find out grandma never liked mom and she never even really liked any of her 6 kids.

That so sad sville. I take it you didn't know this when you were growingup. I ask because my DD sees how FIL is when it comes to me and to be honest I don't think she cares for him very much. I haven't asked her but she is 14 she sees what goes on!

svillemomof4's picture

No, none of us had a clue that she hated our mom, heck, my parents didn't even know. Of course it was ok because they lived out of state until we were all grown anyway. She had major issues. When she moved back to our hometown about 10 years ago we realized how bat shit crazy she could be but not for another 5 years. She died almost 2 years ago so at least it is over.
My FIL and MIL didn't much care for me either because I called their precious grand's out on their crap. Plus they treat BM like she is their own daughter, but that is another story. My kids don't see it but then my kids don't spend any real time with them since MIL passed away 3 years ago. I haven't seen my FIL in over a year and he lives 10 min away.
It is sad when the kids pick up on it. You want them to have a good relationship with the grandparents, whether they are blood or not. It is your FIL's loss though, screw him. Karma is a biznitch!

Woohoo, yay for Patsy & Patsy's girls, Good Game. Now onto the rest, I'm sooo glad your DH isn't defending his demon daughter, hey she typed it and put it out there for the world to see, time to own it little girl. I hope your DH stays on the path he is on and I will not be forced to come & hit him with a softball.

Your FIL now I'm zeroing in on him and he better watch out, asshole. How dare he say your the problem, when it's your bitch ass SD that's saying she hopes you die. I truly hope your DH just cuts off contact with him until he can learn to respect you as well.

And hey a little PDA does a relationship good, it let's you and the rest of the world know, wow, he really likes her and they ain't nothing wrong with that Wink

Patsy's picture

HA HA love ya clydella Thanks! FIL doesn’t bother me much these days we have had our rounds and it seems I have come out the better person in all of them. It boggles me that even to this day when FIL needs help he contacts me.

Rising - the truth of it with my FIL and MIL was that they were a little jealous that I took their boy away. My inlaws are divorced and remarried, but stay in very close (too close if you ask me) contact. They spoiled my DH and enabled him to blame others for years. When my DH became close to my family the outlaws felt betrayed. In fairness we are with my family a lot more than his. Strange considering they are just a few blocks away and mine are an hour away. My MIL and DH had a run in years ago that finally put a stop to her trying to pull him from me. She would plan little trip just for Her and her husband and my DH and DD and not include me. My MIL finally got with the program and she agravates me, but I can honestly say I love her.

My FIL just got it from DH but I just don't see him changing his mind about me. That is okay not everyone needs to like me. Just live their life and I'll live mine.
