Puke's birthday

over step's picture

DH informed me last night MIL will be coming over next Saturday when Puke(sd15) is supposed to be here to take us all out for Puke's birthday. *Sigh* Thanks for the warning. That gives me a week to prepare myself to fake being happy to be celebrating Puke's birthday. How do you celebrate someone who IMO does not deserve it after how she treats her dad? I need to find a way to make this entertaining for me. Don't have a clue how but there has to be a way.

Oh, I have no filter when I drink so I don't think that would be a good idea. I may blurt out something I shouldn't.

Take your phone with you and live text the whole thing to us? THAT would make it much more interesting!!! }:)

Oh I second this. It could be like Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone. "13 presents?!?! Last year I got 15 presents?!?!"

Oh that's just nasty. My condolences. I'd rather rip my ears off than deal with MIL.

I can't comprehend that scenario. I am blanking out from shock :jawdrop:

It's okay, not everyone has a unikitty. I am decidedly jealous of all you non-unikitty card carriers.

ovrstp- u can have my unikitty... she can pas puke out and take her under her wing and into her home, and love her and hug her and kiss her and squeeze her and keep her for her very own!

Don't know. DH said something about dropping it off at his mom & dad's farm. He won't be taking my car then (mine gets better gas mileage over his SUV). No dogs allowed!

Oh boy. He's certainly not setting himself up for trouble by taking on the task of finding someone to watch the dog during puke's visitation. Nope.

/sarcasm

Here's a thought. Why doesn't your DH make sure that the owner of the dog (BM) figure it out?

He's lowering a boundary to be nice and now the expectation will be from now on that it is his problem. And he did it to himself.

"I feel the SKIDS treat DH poorly and it makes me not want to do a single thing with them."

I just expressed this sentiment to DH at our therapy session the other night. I told him that it physically hurts me to see the way they - okay, mostly ASS- treat him and then they expect him to do EVERYTHING for them.

Like ASS, for example. IF that little fucker goes to college, I fully expect DH to want to pay for it. If that little brat was MY kid, and treated me the way ASS treats DH? That little bitch wouldn't get one thin dime from me.

I told my DH during our "come to Jesus" talk that puke treating him so poorly makes my blood boil.

He said something to her a while back about helping get her a car when she turns 16. I say good luck finding the money to finance that cuz I won't be giving a penny. Besides her mom will have to agree to pay the insurance since puke lives with her. I think the car is on the back burner for now. DH doesn't appear to be very motivated to do this.

I doubt she goes to college so we'll luck out there. If she does, it'll probably be a 1 or 2 year thing. She can get try to get grants (good luck on that with the grades she's making) or get a student loan to pay back herself just like I had to.

I honestly don't know how anyone survives a meal out in public with anyone wearing a hoodie (up), earphones, or with a cell-phone that isn't turned off/on silent and NOT IN SIGHT.

I'd leave. Or murder the perpetrator.

Oh she has zero manners. Slouching in her chair or puts her feet on the chair with her knees up against the table. Doesn't hardly use her napkin. Eats with her mouth open. Points at people as she's making fun of them. Is on her phone the entire time. Then only takes a couple bites of her food saying she's full after drinking at least one glass of soda. Not to mention the outrageous outfits she wears (we live in a small rural town so she sticks out) and then complains when people stare at her.

I am so embarrassed being seen with her.

Maybe you should don the hoodie and just spend your time mirroring her! Disguise yourself a bit though in case you see someone who won't get the joke (other than DH, lol). But seriously, that would be fun! Complain you're full after your glass of wine, or maybe you should order highballs to go with your new feet on the seat attitude. Make sure a couple of deep-fried appetizers fall back out of your mouth. And take a lot of duck-face selfies (or pretend to at least!) Wear really big pants and a really big hoodie and walk like George Jefferson!

DH and MIL have decided that the 4 of us are going out for lunch at a restaurant they chose and DH is going to get pizza that night.

Thinking I'll make her a dessert that she will undoubtedly not like cuz she doesn't lIke anything we make. Really put my "heart" into. Then when she doesn't eat any DH will see I tried yet again and Puke was ungrateful yet again. I will shed a tear and fain hurt feelings which I will then retreat to the master bedroom for the remainder of the evening.
