OSD, 39 has been living with us for over a year. She lost her job due to gambling problems When she lost her job; she also lost her cell phone.(work cell phone). So, I told her ok I would add her to our plan; but, she was paying her share of the phone bill, internet, and tv. It came out to $100.00 per month. She pays nothing else to live her. Part of the agreement was that I would not have to hound her for her share; and she was to go to GA meetings. She has only attended a couple of GA meetings and that was last summer. She is 2 months behind on her phone bill with August due now.

Here we go again with the mini wife syndrome. Only this time it is with osd. Osd (39) has been living with us for almost a year. She lost her job because of gambling problems. That's another whole story. All in all she is ok. She got a new job and does help around the house. But, I am so tired of hearing I did this and I did that. Well you live here you should do something.Big problem is she is always up in our business. Very rarely do we have any alone time. But, what bothers me the most is she acts like a mimi wife. Sometimes I feel like a visitor in my own home.

I knew it! If I went to the baby shower Ysd daughter would think everything is fine. Sure enough her thank you comes in the mail and low and behold she writes that she and her husband want to visit us before the holidays. And asked when we would be available. So, dh sets it up for Dec. 15th. Remember this is the same sd who didn't even answer our invitations to christmas or easter last year. She has not been in our home for almost 2 years. Gee, what brought this on? The pregnancy.

So ysd and her spouse come to the hospital to visit my dh. The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. I admit I was standoffish and borderline rude. She has not been around for a year and waltzes in like nothing has happened. No apology - nothing. Anyway, dh is almost groveling. At one point my dh says he is cold and ysd reaches over to cover him. No way was I letting that happen. I reached over to cover him myself.
