Not so bad
Surprises do happen. I have two out of three kids home for the holidays. Including new grand baby. Trying to not step on DIL toes as she navigates new motherhood.
Husband is another story. SD refused to come for Christmas this year. Again x 18!!!! 18 years of excuses. Never spent a Xmas or thanksgiving. But wait she plans on coming the 3 day weekend in Jan. Husband showed me her pitiful text. "How sad I feel that we are not together. We are LONG overdue for a holiday together. I already bought my plane ticket. Can't wait. But it's refundable if anything comes up or changes."
anyone betting odds on her actually coming in January????
If she does it's clean sheets and towels on the guest bed. That's IT. no special guest status anymore.
happy holidays everyone.
"But it's refundable if
"But it's refundable if anything comes up or changes."
What a weird thing to add about a trip one is supposedly excited for.
Hurtful
She called yesterday from her in-laws. They are same distance away as we are and yet has never spent a Christmas with her supposedly beloved father in 17 years. DH was very nice asking her about her in laws and their Xmas eve and Xmas day parties and what gifts she got for all her in laws. Meanwhile her father sits here alone. I just don't know how an adult child could be so clueless and not consider the feelings of their parent?! And she's only been married a few years. Clearly there are issues related to me one can assume that since I've been in DH's life she will Not participate. Remember after we were married no contact for years. I guess I understand it but why the fakeness? Like her parting comment. "Oh I have to spend Xmas with you next year dad".
really?
Time for the "You have not spent Christmas with me in 17 years."
Lather, rinse, repeat every time she opens her full of shit lips regarding the holidays.
Time to stop letting her get away with her delusional IL bullshit and bare her ass. Each and every time.
The one to rub her nose in her shit is her daddy. If he does it and keeps the message forward, overt, and continuous and starts drawing in her ILs, she can cry and whine but she should have to live the stench of her bullshit. DH should speak with her ILs and mention that she and her DH have not done Christmas with him in 17 years, it is time, and he would appreciate their support in giving that message to their son and his shit spawn of a bride.
Grrrrr!
