It's early and I can't sleep. I keep thinking about how things went wrong last night. It was supposed to be a happy reunion but it didn't go that way.
With some advice from here, I also prepared cake and snacks for my husband's daughters and their family. My son was here with his three kids and because of strength in numbers I invited my other son and daughter with their families to also spend time together with us on Friday evening. It was a lovely house full of family. My husband was surprised that I invited all my kids and grandchildren. He wanted it to be a night with only his kids. He never told me my kids weren't welcome so I invited them too. Although he shrugged it off, I know it bothered him. It is not fair because why must he fuss over his children and mine be left out? He did not tell my children could not come, so I invited them, but afterwards he seemed all right with it.
Everything went well up to a point.
My stepdaughter (who owns the house) arrived with her husband. There was this big show of running and hugging my husband! Her yelling, "Dad!" when she got out of the car and my husband was in the driveway. All very pretentious in my opinion! She was friendly but reserved with me. At least she brought me a huge bunch of flowers. Her husband was carrying snacks and a gift for my husband. No gift for me. We talked a little bit about our wedding, her trip to visit everyone and her dogs. She was at least interested in me, asking about my children and grandchildren and charity work. Her mood would change when she met her sisters and their families. She seemed genuinely warm and happy to see them again. With my children, the distance and reserve was back. It was like watching someone switch their moods on and off. At least her husband is a very friendly and happy chappy! He seemed to get along well with everyone.
All of children (except for this step child know one another) and were talking to each other. My step daughter seemed more interested in her own sisters, especially her four nephews and nieces. She had gifts for them all, individually wrapped. When everyone had left last night, my husband gave me the parcel his daughter had left for my grandchildren. There were sweaters for all 10 of them. At least she got the sizes right but did not even bother to wrap the gifts. It was just put together in one gift bag with no further effort.
It was warm enough last night to entertain everyone on the patio. At one point I asked my stepdaughter to go with me and went inside. I was going to tell her that we didn't need a meeting today over the house, because we had decided to buy our own condo without her help. We were in the den and my husband who noticed that we were walking away joined us. Stepdaughter was surprised at our decision but said ok. She asked if we knew which estate we were looking at. I told her no, not yet. She only asked if three months would be enough time for us to make an offer and move? My husband told her yes. Stepdaughter said she was meeting with a realtor later on Saturday and would let her know about this. She wasn't even interested in the details of how we were going to purchase the condo. No offer to help with the down payment, nothing. I am sure she was glad we were getting out of HER house.
My son (who stays with us and is moving out soon) had walked past at this point. He came into the den. He told his stepsister that he didn't like the way she treated me. He said that forcing my husband and I to move was causing me a lot of stress. Stepdaughter was rude to my son! She told him that she was not prepared to discuss her business (not my life or home!) with him because it didn't involve him. My son told her it did, I am his mother and he did not like all the unhappiness stepdaughter was causing. It directly affected him because he was also living with us. Stepdaughter said she was not talking to a drunk and that he was not invited to be part of the conversation. My husband asked my son to please leave the room. My son said he wouldn't and told her to get out and leave because she was an unwelcome trouble maker. My stepdaughter got out her phone. I thought she was calling the police! She must have called her husband because she said. "Wait for me at the car now".
My stepdaughter kissed my husband good bye, ignored my son's attempts to talk to her (by yelling "Dont put your damn hands on me!") and said good bye to me with, "Thank you for allowing me to visit." She walked out and left. No thank you for the evening, or the snacks or nice meeting you. Nothing. At least she didn't cause a scene or cause further trouble.
My husband said nothing further, he went outside with her. Shortly afterwards, he came back to the party. Said nothing to no one about his daughter's blow up in the den. About an hour later everyone had left, except my son and his kids who were staying over.
When we went to the bedroom my husband was angry. He told me that he didn't understand why I had brought up the condo with his daughter. There was going to be a meeting about it. Last night was just supposed to be a fun family get together with his children and I had spoiled it. This isn't true! I tried so hard to make it a pleasant evening. It wasn't my fault things went bad.
I am so unhappy this morning. My husband is still sleeping and after arguing last night, he hasn't spoken to me yet. This whole situation makes me so unhappy.
You know what? I think you've got it pretty damn good. I mean, my god, she brought you flowers but not a gift, like she did for DH, HER father. GASP! She had a bag with ten sweaters for your grandkids but they weren't wrapped. The horror! I mean how did you survive that attack on common decency?!
She tried. She tried and it wasn't enough for you, so expect her to stop trying. You seem to have an opinion of yourself as a kind and gracious person, but all you did was ignore what she did do and focus on what she didn't do. You project all of your own negative qualities that you can't accept about yourself onto SD. In my opinion, she is the victim here. She was classy and gracious the entire evening, and that must have burned your britches something extra, since you want so badly to blame her for everything! Nope. SD's a pretty awesome lady. You are not.
Then, you pull her aside to tell her about your and your husband's decision to move... without your husband? What was that attempt at a power play? And, guess what, she was gracious in hearing the news. And then you're her complaining that she didn't offer help with the down payment?! I thought you wanted her out of your housing situation. She just can't win with you, and you get some sick satisfaction out of it.
Then, your adult son confronts her, defending your honor and you let it happen. My god was that ever immature and classless. I don't blame her for not wanting to feel attacked by a third party over a matter that was none of his business. Yes, mommy might let her adult son live with her in a house owned by SD, but sonny-boy's opinion of the matter is irrelevant to SD, as it should be.
Then she left because of the drama, and said "thank you for allowing me to visit" and THAT WASN'T ENOUGH FOR YOU?! My god, woman. You are impossible.
"At least she didn't cause a scene or cause further trouble."
Yeah, but you and your son had that covered, so no big deal.
When we went to the bedroom my husband was angry. He told me that he didn't understand why I had brought up the condo with his daughter. There was going to be a meeting about it.
You're lucky your husband is talking to you because he's 100% right on this one. What you did was designed to cause an argument. You felt belittled by SD's financial decision that impacted you, so you decided to SHOW HER who is boss. I feel embarrassed for you.
"Last night was just supposed to be a fun family get together with his children and I had spoiled it."
I agree with him. You made the entire evening about you and your attempt at power plays.
"This isn't true! I tried so hard to make it a pleasant evening. It wasn't my fault things went bad."
It was your fault, and you did not try to make it a pleasant evening.
Here's the step by step drama you caused:
- invited people to your party without running it by your husband.
- focusing on minutae that SD did wrong, and missing all of the things she did right.
- whining about SD's thoughtful gifts as if they weren't enough for you (and where were the gifts from your darlings? Nonexistant? Yes, let's overlook that because SD brought things out of consideration but they weren't up to your impossible standards)
- she talked to her sisters. Guess what? She was told it was a get together for her family and she was looking forward to seeing them. Of course she spent more time with them.
- that ridiculous power play of pulling her aside without your husband
- not stopping your overstepping hostile son from attacking SD over something that was none of his business.
You should be unhappy this morning, but you should also be looking toward yourself as the source of your unhappiness. You did it to yourself because of your own ego. Don't expect a good relationship with your DH's kids in the future after you pulled all of this garbage.
Your SD is not difficult. You're just upset because she isn't stupid enough to let you and your pack of money grubbers take advantage of her and her father.
Hopefully your husband opens his eyes pretty soon and sends your greedy butt packing.
This can't be real. I always thought gold diggers kept their true intentions hidden. When did it become acceptable to let the world know that you are only in it for the money?
Why did you bring up the condo with his daughter? I think you should have left that to your husband or at least for the "meeting". It does seem as if things were going fine until that point.
And your son needs to mind his own business. I get that he is concerned about you but the sale of the house is not his business to comment on. He was way out of line, right down to telling your SD to get out.
Obviously, I don't know the true reason your DH's daughter is selling the house but you are taking it very personally and I believe you are letting it overshadow everything else when it comes to this woman.
Of course, she is going to feel more comfortable and relaxed with her own sisters. So what that she didn't individually wrap 10 sweaters. Yes, she's going to naturally be more interested in her own nieces and nephews.
For the life of me, I do not understand why you think it is her place to offer to help with the down payment for the condo that you and your husband are going to buy. In one of your other blogs, you don't even feel it's fair that your husband ask YOU to put anything towards the purchase. Seriously, what are you thinking?
In your first blog, I disagreed with those that called you a gold digger. You love your home, don't want to move, but seemed okay with the two of you purchasing your own place.
After a couple more blogs, I still don't think you are a "gold digger" per se, but you sure seem to think that you should be taken care of by others.
All family events do not have to include both sides. Sometimes events with just husband's side are fine, just as events wife's side.
If both sides are included a step who has not seen siblings in a while is going to spend more time with siblings than others.
Your son was wrong. He stepped into a conversation he was not part of and did not leave when husband asked him to. That was disrespectful to your husband.
You did not say how much son had to drink, but stepdaughter felt he was drunk and said so. She is correct not to converse with a person who has been drinking who is not a party to the event under discussion.
If this was a family party, I have no idea why you even brought up the condo. The condo/ selling the house/ moving should be a discussion for the involved parties. That would be stepdaughter, your husband, and you. No one else (except step daughter's husband) should be involved.
Why should stepdaughter give you money for a down payment? How much are your children giving you for a down payment?
Well, I knew the 'visit' was going to be a hoot, but even I didn't anticipate you would confess to your own behavior being so bad.
Wanna know how the evening would have ended at my house if my scenario new husband of eight months pulled the stunts and tricks you did? His ass would have been escorted off the property along with all his uninvited guest, his son facing legal charges of laying hands on another, and the divorce papers would be being drawn up as quickly as possible this morning And I wouldn't worry about what he thought he might get out of the divorce as my ass wouldn't have been stupid enough to marry without a pre-nup from hell.
Don't give up your day job. Your writing career won't get you far. Have a good day, Jilly.
Lovely advice. A bucketful of apologies, thank you notes and gratitude that DH is still willing to have you by his side. Your behavior was over-the-top, but I've been known to act without thinking as well so I'm not going to criticize you today.
I went to make breakfast for my husband as a peace offering. When he came down from his shower he was ready to go out. He was meeting with his daughter and did not invite me to go along. All he ate was a slice of toast with preserves and drank some coffee.
Many of you are very harsh and siding with my stepdaughter. She did not have to leave last night. She could have told my son to shut up because it's her house.
Yes, it's did not go as planned or as some of you would plan, but it was a difficult situation. It is not my fault she argued with my son over the house. When I was telling her about our plans my stepdaughter could have said "wait till tomorrow". My husband joined us, he could have said same, but no it is my fault because I brought it up. If things went well would anybody thank me? No.
My husband is off to have a bite to eat with his daughter to smooth things over. I am not invited. He said because I did not think a meeting with his daughter was necessary it didn't mean he agreed. Now he is discussing our business with her and I am not invited. Why does he need to smooth things with her? The blow up was between my son and her. They should smooth things over between themselves.
For your information, this is my real life. I am not fake. If I was fake I would tell you about how drunk my stepdaughter was and how she cursed me out of the house. Maybe this is the kind of drama you like. I only want to share my story and get help and advice. Already, I have been helped with choosing between the condo options because of posts here. Yes, some people are rude to me, but this is their lack of manners. Other people have been giving me good advice.
Get a big girl job.
Stop looking for others to support you.
Stop trying to paint your SKs as awful creatures.
Tell your kid's to take a few tips from your SKs.
Preserves made me laugh out loud when I fist read it. Unfortunately I was on the subway at the time and people started giving me the crazy lady side eye.
The poor dear, having to put up with such a nasty SD who lets them live in her house and asks if three months is enough time to move so she can call tell her realtor how long it'll be before it can be sold.
No way can this be a real person, I just can't believe it. Jilly, if you are real, you are just so unbelievably clueless! Are you some kind of princess that's had her butt kissed her whole life? Let me get a fan and some grapes while you lie on a velvet chaise. You're so delusional I just have to believe your someone's bored BM just trying to get a rise out of everyone.
LOL I just came in from a fun day estate saleing,to this fun gift of a post! One question I have is this- how old is your son? Does he know the roof over his head belongs to the person he yelled at AT A PARTY?
The crazy man is in his 30s. Old enough to be able to afford his own apartment instead of mooching off of his mommy's new cash cow's (I mean husband's)daughter.
Having read your previous blogs, I think your stepdaughter behaved like a lady and both your and your son's behaviour was utterly appalling. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Get off your a*se, take responsibility for your own life and upkeep and behave like the adult you are supposed to be.
I assumed one of the other sisters gave her a heads up about the sizes.
But I'm wondering why someone would give sweaters as gifts during the summer. The way kids grow, the damn things may be to small by the time it's cold enough to wear them.

Let me get a fan and some grapes while you lie on a velvet chaise. You're so delusional I just have to believe your someone's bored BM just trying to get a rise out of everyone.
Get a life.
I hope Jilly sticks around
I hope Jilly sticks around all summer. The last day of school was yesterday.
I need a good drama to follow while school is out.

The crazy man is in his 30s.

I wrote the thank you note
I wrote the thank you note and took it to my stepdaughter's hotel. She was not there.

I am thankful to those of you who have sent me messages of kind words or posted kind words here.
I know everyone is not hateful.
Wishing everybody a good weekend and peace with their own step situation.

Having read your previous
Having read your previous blogs, I think your stepdaughter behaved like a lady and both your and your son's behaviour was utterly appalling. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Get off your a*se, take responsibility for your own life and upkeep and behave like the adult you are supposed to be.
