Just venting

We're moving! It should be such an exciting time but I don't think I'm excited b/c SD will still be there and now that it is a much bigger house I'm afraid she'll be there more often. SD came to our house for 30 seconds while we were packing. Why? Assuming just to be nosey b/c sure as hell she isn't lifting a finger to help us. So as she is leaving I told her she needs to pack up some of her stuff. She storms back into the house grabs a couple of boxes and I hear her complaining "I don't have time for this shit". She took a whole 2 minutes, and somewhat threw stuff in a box and left. As she is leaving I hear her say "i'm done" and DH says "ok thanks for doing that, I love you". Ugh thank you for taking 2 minutes out of your day and lifting your precious fingers to pack YOUR stuff. I wish I could take her boxes to BM's and leave them all there never to come to the new house!

That's what I would do...tell her she can either pack her stuff or say good-bye to it, her choice. Anything not packed is not going.

Haha I tried that. When we were getting ready to list our house I gave fair warning that her room needed to be cleaned, like spotless clean. I asked, I asked again, I told, and I told again. The day before the realtor was scheduled she came over did 1/2 the job and left. My husband who is very neat said it passed his inspection. The next day I opened her door to find she didn't dust, the hamper was overflowing and her desk was a disaster. I took everything off the dresser and desk and into a garbage bag, I then dusted and took all her clothes from her hamper into garbage bags and off to the garbage they went. My husband found them and of course took them out. I told him I gave everyone fair warning they were going in the garbage if she didn't take care of it.

LOL! Thanks a good one:) Except my husband would probably go out and buy her new. If not grandma would.

Your husband thanks her for helping for 2 minutes. :jawdrop: I agree with Dovina don't make things to comfortable for her.

My husband would have thanked her just for showing up and not doing anything. I already try to make her life uncomfortable so she will leave. My husband knows this b/c he has made mention how he can see that I have disengaged and don't do anything for her. Why should I? I've tried, I have bent over backwards to this brat for nothing but disrespect.

If he is going to thank her for doing nothing, you should get a new diamond ring for all your hard work. Wouldn't that just piss SD off. }:)

mmm make sure some of the shit gets lost with the move, her new room will not be her room, she's not living there permanently, she visits, thus it's a guest bedroom....
