I have been lurking and making a few comments off and on for the past year or so, but tonight I just need to vent a whole host of frustrations about my adult (and I use the term adult very loosely) SDs. If any of you have been around for a while, you may or may not have read my previous blogs. If you haven't, I will sum them up - I find both of my SDs to be self-absorbed little witches who care nothing about anyone but themselves.

In the past year, I have become a grandmother yet again (younger SD(21) had a 3rd baby who has a different father than her other 2), older SD lost her job due to company bankruptcy, broke up with her slight crazy boyfriend (not the father of her 5 year old), got a new job, got fired, dated a guy for 2 months, got pregnant, broke up with boyfriend, thought she had a miscarriage, found another job, discovered she hadn't had a miscarriage, and quit her new job. We found out about the quitting today. Her dad called her to find out when we had to babysit her 5 year old. She said we didn't have to worry about it. He asked "why?" and her response was "what difference does that make?" That infuriated him to the point that he called her back and they got into an argument about her disrespectful attitude and this is when she told him she had quit her job. Now he is hurt that he has put all of his heart into helping get back on her feet. She has also been hinting that she plans to move back to BM's home state because her life here has "sucked." Let's see - she has been going to school, she has her own place and her own car. Yeah, it sucks to be her.

I have had it with these women. The younger one only calls if she needs money. The older one has always been disrespectful, but DH has never been able to see it. She comes to our house when she needs something, period. She barely says "hi" to me, and waits until I leave the room to talk to her dad. Either that or she will start a conversation in the kitchen and stop talking when they come into the living room. I tried pointing that out to DH, but he says it is because I don't talk to her. That is true - I disengaged a long time ago - but even if I try to talk to her, she disagrees with everything I say.

Thank you for reading this if you got this far. I just needed to rant and I can't do that to DH.

God bless you honey! It sounds like these 'adults' need to be on their own, to make better decisions for themselves. You are not welcome in the conversation because you will likely point this out. Hang in there - HUGS
