This makes me laugh, but it's really not that funny.

I have an elderly neighbour (age 73) whom I've beeen friendly with over the past 8 years. During a recent visit in her home, she told me a bit about her stepmothering experience. Her husband is 15 years older than her, he was a widower when they married and she helped raise 3 skids. Nowadays, she and husband don't seem to have such a great connection with skids who are now in their 50's, they also have 2 biokids (now in their 30's) from their own marriage. Mrs Neighbour actually invited me over there to help her delete an e-mail from her inbox. I guess, given her age, she's not that au fait with working a computer. She was receiving a house guest and didn't want him to be able to read this particular e-mail. So, this lead to a conversation about guests in our homes/privacy, quite step-related really. Which lead to her telling me that her SD50+ had recently asked her father (Mrs Neighbour's husband) to give her some money to help pay for a new house. The father declined. Then SD50+ replied how unfair it was that his wife (Mrs Neighbour) had been given so much by him and yet she, daughter age 50+, didn't have that much in comparison.

Does this sound familiar???? Just put some grey wigs on these entitled SD's and it all sounds the same. Maybe it never ends.................
