And no one is surprised, yet someone is running out of reasons
Seems like DHs excuse/reason facade is cracking.
He again invited YSS and OSS over to help with a project (and pay them). He assumed they were coming in the morning because YSS has to work in the afternoon. There was no actual confirmation from them but DH still went out this morning, before I even got up, and got groceries to be able to feed them lunch and dinner.
Guess who hasn't shown up all day? YSS and OSS. DS asked where they were because he thought they were coming (because of DHs statements). And DH didn't have any excuses, he just said he didn't know why they weren't here.
Now, if DH didn't get a confirmation from them then he shouldn't have assumed they'd show up. I will give them that, that DH makes assumptions without confirmation and it causes problems because he's then upset when it didn't go as assumed.
Still surprised there was no excuse/reason. (Though if I were a gambler I'd say one is coming in the next few days when someone texts him an excuse/reason and he will use it as a defense of their lack of manners.)

It's not their fault!
You can be positively sure that whatever excuse is made, like a ufo abducted them, or foreign terrorists held them hostage, that it is definitely not their fault. Not only is it not their fault, but it's a GOOD thing that they made the unfo fly away or they saved America by neutralizing the terrorists.
And you thought they wete just lazy and thoughtless. Aren't you ashamed? Lol.
He needs to take a page from
He needs to take a page from my DH's book and stop even asking them. If they are like my SS, they don't care about money anyway because BM gives it to them, or they don't do anything outside of the house to need money.
I know
Things were calmer when he wasn't trying to squeeze love out of his kids. I asked about tomorrow and got my head bit off so I gave him back what I got. Told him he has no right to raise his voice at me or take out his anger at his kids on me and to cut it the f- out. Years and years and it's no better only less because they aren't around as much.
That isn’t love but your husband jumping through hoops
to get the tiny leftover crumbs of temporary affection in exchange for money, pampering at exclusive or expensive restaurants, shopping, free holidays or favours... lets not forget possible hands sticking out for money!!!
yes my husband did this everytime when he dropped his daughters at the train station as they loved about 1.5 hrs from us they had their hands out waiting for the customary cash handouts of $50-100.
You know even after a whole day of quality family time which they perceived to mean they could rant on non stop about bio mum and stepdad, they needed to be rewarded not only with a posh dinner at an expensive steak reataurant but thee needed to be rewarded financially for their time of treating everyone like shit!!
the time hubby took his kids alone to a food court in shopping mall for lunch, daughters went awol for like 4-5 months. Maybe this was hubbys way to test their true intentions because they never got a fancy steak restaurant. They eat poor people food/junk so really the steak restaurant is where they get to fake how upper class and rich they are when they lack any manners or class!!
And now we are cajoling them
Into coming. "Please, I need the help."
At least he listened to me about not playing his whole hand right now. He was going to do a long text about how he could drop off OSS at BMs since YSS would bed to get to work. I said that would probably result in OSS figuring out a reason he can't come at all since the implication is he's stay longer to work longer. Play that card in the moment only if you need it.
