Steps came home on Sunday night and as soon as she got in the car osd12 was in damage control. Sickenly sweet, animated and very interested in what we did over the weekend. Our lukewarm reception told her we were not pleased with her. Silence all the way home. She asked Dh if he was mad at her and it said that was an understatement. He sat osd12 down at table for a talk about the accusation she mad to SD about having work for everything she gets. She tried playing dumb, " I still don't know what you are talking about," through the whole conversation, blamed her SD for blowing her statement out of proportion, said mom didn't A's where the shoes came from so she didn't tell her. At that point I had had enough, I told her that her mom said she was told by osd12 that she worked to buy the shoes, and they were a gift. She then tried to say they cost more to make it look like she contributed to the cost. I told her I can show her the bank statement for the purchases if she would like.

She made an interesting comment. 2 or 3 times during the conversation, "why would I lie about dad, it isn't worth it." I think if you turn that statement into a question, you can hear her mother asking her that and she turned it into an excuse. Needless to say, she stormed out of the room.
The next day dh told her that she put her sister and brother in jeopardy because everything is about her all the time.

So over the week, no acknowledgement of the event from her, she has been hugging me and telling me she loves me..This means one of two things, should wants something or she is plotting my death.

I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him." - Poe
