Money-hungry SDs will NOT be happy
BioHo trained her daughters well. What are men good for? Getting a bay and money, money, MONEY. The ONLY time the SDs call DH is when they want money. Other than monetary requests, he never hears from them.
Yesterday he told me that he will not be able to give any of the skids the usual gift card (y'know, MONEY). He hasn't worked any over time since summer and is still paying off the medical bills from his hospital stay. So that means the ONLY gifts are for his step-grandkids. His kids/skids get N-O-T-H-I-N-G.
Call the Waaaaaaaaahm-bulance!!!

Once my sister had her child
Once my sister had her child that was it for the rest of us. My grandparents no longer gifted us anything and for the rest of the family the focus was her child and now children.
Completely normal progression. They can cry all the want but they don't "need" gifts like the grandkids do.
DFTT, I agree the focus
DFTT, I agree the focus should be on the kids. The SDs are 21 and 24. All they care about in regards to DH is money. The first 3 Christmases that DH and I were together, they never came over and never called. It wasn't until their brothers (who spent EOWe with DH) got Christmas gifts that they started coming. The first year, the gifts were from me because DH couldn't afford them. The second year, DH had money and their Christmas was more lavish, but he bought nothing for the SDs because he knew they wouldn't come. It was only AFTER they said they were coming that DH got them gift cards.
I will go out on a limb and ASSUME that the only reason they started coming was for the money.
I don't even get gifts now,
I don't even get gifts now, lol. My grandparents sent stuff for the skids for Christmas, I got a card... Saying merry Christmas and that was it. My parents so far have only sent stuff for the skids as well... But that's fine, my parents paid for our flight back to see them and my little sis before she moved to Europe...
That's the reality of life, the kids get it all.
PAI, in the past, my parents
PAI, in the past, my parents bought gifts for my skids, but they KNEW those skids. This time 'round, my Dad met the boys once 5 years ago (once was bad enough), but he has never met the girls. And I have no desire to subject my Dad to those freakin' twunts. DH is family because we're married, but his kids/skids are NOT
Works for me, because we have
Works for me, because we have the Skids full time they've met them and skyped them quite a bit. They're my parents' first grandkids, so they're reveling in that. LOL
That makes sense.

"Call the Waaaaaaaaahm-bulance!!!"
LOL!!!! Stealing that one!
My DH mostly recognizes his
My DH mostly recognizes his kids for what they are. For years he'd send a check in OSD's birthday card. She'd never call to say thank you. One year he didn't send a check. That year she called to say he forgot to put in a check.
Another time she called to ask for money to pay some bill. DH said 'you only call me when you want money'.
Her answer was 'that's why I'm calling you now'
He'd finally had enough. She didn't get the money.
Glad your DH finally wised
Glad your DH finally wised up!! I hope that one day soon, my DH will do the same. The SDs, like their mother, care only about money. They have no other 'use' for DH.
