The weekend started off on a great note: I invited SO out for a prime rib dinner at our favorite location, compliments of ME. As we were starting out our evening, Winona SD18, started whining about how hungry she was, to which we replied "there is LOTS of food here, cook yourself something!"

Sidenote: Winona SD18 has a very specific diet whereby she doesn't eat meat, except maybe eggs, and fish. Pescatarian who prefers sushi.
She came right up to us as we were leaving and whined how she was CRAVING sushi and just HAD to have some. We said no. Of course. Sushi is expensive and SO was trying to scrounge so he could make his rather large truck payment.

Then we got into a discussion of her sitting her grandmother in SO's place, and how that would be a great way to earn her rent for staying with us full time now. Whine whine whine. "Grandma is sooooo annoying with her constant demands and she forgets all the time". Shes blind too, and never wears her hearing aid. But super sweet. Still, Winona complains. SO stands strong and sais, "well I put a roof over your head, and pay bills, this is the least you can do for me."

Then. SO explains to me that Winona SD18 has stated that she is "willing to help out more with household chores". I say "great! She can sweep kitchen floor and clean bathroom!!!"

Winona complains and whines some more. States that she doesn't have to start right away, because she has "all night to do it!" that SO should just "shut up about it!"
Nice! He explains to me "that is just how she talks." OK.
We go out to our favorite place - the airport, enjoy a perfectly cooked prime Rib, some adult beverages, then dancing!
Then home. You might wonder, did Winona, who had all night to clean a very small bathroom, in fact clean the room? Heck to the no. So at midnight, when we arrived home, SO woke her up. She sprayed Clorox. Hopefully now she knows we are serious about helping out. Probably not.
Sunday, she was all attitude again (I charged her for a coat and purse=$2.00 lol). passive aggressive too. So I opted out of a shed-building trip to a nice beach, because I did not want to be around snotty SD Whine-nona anymore. 10 minutes around her and I get pissy.

I ended my weekend reading a book in the sun, sipping chilled wine and then watching a sunset (alone), missing my SO, and promising myself that I would not let Whine-nona mess up another beautiful day, that I would not avoid activities because of her, and that I should definitely schedule time, purposely without her. It is not my problem she has no job, no activities, no friends to hang with, no ambition. WE are not responsible for her entertainment. I get no joy out of her having fun. Her voice still grates on my nerves, her demanding sushi gets my feathers ruffled, and how we are to cater to her food needs, still. Yikes.

WE are hoping and praying that her and her mother make up soon. I know it sounds bad, but really, Whine-nona needs to get out into the world. I am at the point where I told SO that my ultimate goal is to get my own nice place, separate, because he has to take care of kids, for several years, and pay for college. He can visit me on his off days, and we can go back to being happy. I wont worry or feel resentful of him spending money on Whine-nona's college, and wont be concerned over her lack of job or license. I told him it was the only solution, because she will always be his daughter. He did not like that idea at all!!! LOL.
