Update on SS22's crap in my spare room...

DH called ss22 tonight because he had some mail here. It's a paper he has to fill out because he doesn't have liability insurance. I could hear ss yelling at dh on the phone all dh said was, "you wanna shut up so I can explain this to you for once in your life?" He goes on to tell ss that he HAS to fill this form out or else they will revoke the registration for his car. SS argued about it with dh. True to form.

So anyway... dh gets off the phone and said that ss said he was going to come and get this letter. I said, "Good... then when he comes he can get his crap out of my room." DH gets crappy with me and says, "He can't get his sh**!! He doesn't have anywhere to put it!" I said, "then I guess I will pack it up myself." DH just huffed and walked away. He said something else about the letter as he walked away and I said, "Well, if you would quit enabling him and let him deal with his own crap, he will eventually fall flat on his face and THEN he will learn. But I guess YOU will have to learn the hard way, too." DH says, "I DON'T ENABLE HIM!" I said, "ok dear... make sure he leaves my house key when he comes to get this letter." Not a word after that.

Story of the last 11 years of my life. SS does stupid crap to cause all kinds of problems for himself and dh has SOME excuse. SD pitches her baby fits and cops her attitude and dh has SOME excuse.

Being disengaged sure makes this easier to deal with, doesn't it??? LOL

SD17 quit coming home every other week nearly a year ago. Some of her crap is still here, obviously stuff she didn't want or she would have taken it all to BM's. I'd like to pack it up take it out with the trash, but I'm sure SO and SS13 would pitch a fit. But why is it still here? She's not welcome to come back. And this sounds really childish, but it pissed me off when they refer to that room as SD17's room. It's the guest room now!

I'm thinking that maybe I will just box it up and stick in the closet. If she ever does show up (probably at Christmas expecting gifts), I'll set it by the door and casually say, this is your stuff, you should take it back with you. If she doesn't, then it's going out with the trash.

LOL I've given up on the punch bowl. That bitch is expecting me to fight over it, and she can KMA! Besides, if I brought it here it would just end up broken by SS13.

I'm actually considering by myself a very nice one, wrapping it up, and opening in front of my mother on Christmas Eve. After all this, I'll still think of my GGrandma every time I look at it Smile

Make it expensive and beautiful - make it waterford!! I am sorry that you do not get that bowl - if I lived closer to you I would fight for you or at least steal it from SIL - but you make a good point about SS13 - if it gets broken then all is loss.

PS - your avatar scares me - what is it from?

Pack it all up and put it in a storage unit in her name. Have the bills sent to BM's house. }:)

We have moved skid crap to our new house and it's all out in the garage in boxes. The move was the only way I could get it out of the actual rooms in our old house. Heck I even got my SIL's wedding stuff from her marriage a gazillion years ago out into the garage finally. She's been divroced forever - easily 14 years and she still has all her wedding stuff but I'm not sure why it's in our house.

Bag it or box it and move it to the shed, the garage where ever you have space. Set a deadline and be done with it
