Fruits and Nuts
Well, my middle adult step daughter who is in her twenties is at it again. She has been calling the house and calling my husband's work phone approximately (if not more) fifty times per day. He has taken to ignoring her now. I hope he is strong and doesn't call her back, but here is the message she left at the house last night using her snooty smart ass voice on the answering machine. It is transcribed exactly word for word:
"Hi Dad, I haven't heard from you in two days. Anyways, if I don't hear from you soon, I'm going to have to assume the worst, aaaand, um, hum, you know, make sure no one KILLED you or anything. I'll have to call the police and make sure, you know, go out there and make sure you're alive. Anyways, give me a call back so I know you're ok. Okey dokey. Bye"
Two hours later she left this wonderful message:
"Hellooo, is anyone home? Wow, you are answering brother's phone calls, but you're not answering mine? Geehz. Are you just screening them now for everyone now? Is Dad not allowed to talk to anybody? Weeell, that doesn't really surprise me. That sucks. Well Dad, call me back when you're allowed to. I guess. Ok, good bye. Its...God..."
The night before she was calling so much that we had to turn the ringer and the answering machine off at the home phone and we had to turn off my husband's cell phone. I'm pretty sure this is harrassment. She is making us crazy. My husband never did talk to his son last night. She just made that up. I think she is crazy and I don't know what can be done, but something has to be done. Anyone know how to deal with this or has gone through this? Is there anything legally we can to do her to get her to stop this behavior? I don't know that ignoring her will work, I just hope that it does. Thanks.

Yep, daddy needs to step up!
Yep, daddy needs to step up! From reading your other blogs, it really sounds like he's reluctant to put them in their place, but it's what needs to be done. These people are adults, they need to grow up and start acting like it!!!
Well, the phone calls have
Well, the phone calls have ended for the moment. It is best to go to the source. I've been telling my DH for a few weeks now that his daughter is working up his middle daughter and older son. Sure enough, the older daughter called him today to rub in her rudeness about what she has been doing to me and told him, "Soooo, how is RB feeling right now?" Not sincere, just showing that she is trying to make me crazy. So, after he let her get that out of her system, he told her to tell her sister to knock off the phone calls. Sure enough, no more phone calls today since the older sister told her younger sister to stop it. They are really something else. Doesn't mean that there won't be any more phone calls though, it just means they have stopped for the moment. When I logged the calls that had come in she was making those calls every minute!
