That was a set up!
Yesterday my sister, niece, and cousin were talking about my nieces upcoming shower on the 15th and mention the date on one of my Facebook status. I am friends with the steps on Facebook but don't usually post stuff that they can't ruin. My sister and niece live in same town as SS (about 2 hours away). Normally during shower or other girly things with my family I will drop DH off with my BIL and I go with my sister afterwards we meet up for dinner. DH and BIL are really good friend and are usually more excited to hang out then me and my sister. Well this time BIL is going to be out of town (that wasn't mentioned on Facebook).
Anyway a few hours later SS calls and ask DH what we're doing on the 15th that he was wanting to bring OSGD over for a visit. This is the same SS who told my DH I was dragging him around by the ba$$s when DH went on trip with me to see my BS graduate from the Army Boot Camp instead of going to GS's birthday party. I do no believe that it was coincident that SS happens to call DH to see what we are doing the same day as shower just after it having been post on Facebook. The steps have done this before when they find out we have plans and throw a fit if DH doesn't change plans so he can hang out with them. So DH being clueless tells SS that it was great timing because we were just discussing what we were doing that day and he had planned on staying home but he could ride with me and drop me off at sister then come see SS or SS could still come down for the day. Surprisingly SS got off the phone really quickly once he found out DH was free and made no plans to see him. It will be interesting to see if he calls back and makes plans now.
I honestly think it was a set up. SS was expecting DH to say that he was busy with my family and then SS could throw a fit and play the victim. I do not think SS had any intentions of coming to see DH otherwise he would have made plans with DH once he found out he was free that day.
and what's even better it's
and what's even better it's in SS town }:) }:) }:)
Now that's funny
Now that's funny
That is exactly why I blocked
That is exactly why I blocked my SS's, BM and her SO. It never failed when DH and I would be tagged in some activity on FB the SS's would start blowing up Dh's phone asking for him to take them somewhere or they would unleash fury on him for not taking them places. Of course they forget about the 15 times prior to that we have asked them to go do fun things and they either refused or would agree to go and just not show up.
Every year we take a vacation with a group of friends. Last year, BM actually cancelled OSS's graduation party in June and rescheduled it for July, when she knew we would be gone. Even after DH asked her NOT to schedule it at that time. The SS's also agreed to go to my parents for Thanksgiving....when we went to pick them up, they were asleep and lied to BM saying they told us they weren't going.
Now I block them from everything so this crap doesn't happen
Sounds like SS's plan
Sounds like SS's plan backfired. I can't imagine phoning someone up, asking what they are doing on a certain day, then hanging up without organizing some sort of arrangements. Just weird. SS unintentionally set himself up, and now if he doesn't come through he will look like an a$$. No pity for self-inflicted wounds. Just hope your DH sees all of this for what it is.
As other posters have suggested remove the skids from your FB account.
Please let us know how this all turns out.
Ahh the Facebook bullshit.. I
Ahh the Facebook bullshit.. I see it routinely with my situation. One of my SDIL's is a straight up Facebook whore. In everyones business cause she has no life. Makes it a point to tag/like/love everyones kids/ events , etc. My BGS has always been excluded. The part that bugs me the most would have to be Fathers Day. My SDIL likes to put this big fabricated bullshit post - probably every year to my husband who is not on Facebook. And the only relationship she has with him is when her hand is out for money or she needs our garage to get her oil changed. My sister-in-law saw the post this year and was like - aww did you show him? I was like- no cause its fake. Her response was- play nice. My ass I will.
