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.

Don't unpack any of her boxes or go out of your way to make her new room comfortable. That's on her to do.

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....
