Even if you dont celebrate in your country, I am THANKFUL for YOU.
Startng tonight, off for the next two days and then the weekend.
Got started with a work review and a raise.
Ive got TWO Thanksgiving dinners, my family and then DH's considerably larger family. No purchase (which is good because the stores are CRAZY busy) no prep, just show up and eat and hang and leave.
Then a nice little dinner with a friend.
No plans other than to sleep in, and lounge.
I'm sorry but I just want to scream this ! Every freaking year, every holiday BM has to find a way to bug and or start drama ! That is about the only thing she is consistent on. This year since I guess SD is not getting anywhere on her texting DH wanting to be picked up tomorrow, enter BM. She started sending DH SD15 Christmas list unprovoked. SD had already sent DH her list weeks ago. Normally I have finally gotten to the point where I am not affected by BM or SD but DH is constantly complaining and I ask him what is going on? And he is like it's this damn list !
So there has been threads on this before. I am sure it has been discussed on the forums as well. What are your methods to keep feral skids ransacking household goods like a plague of locusts? What are your cost cutting ideas?
Some choose the hiding method such as hiding in the veg bin as skids are naturally averse to anything that grows from the ground and that requires picking.
DH has not talked to SS18 the Golden child in almost 3 WEEKS. DH is livid because SS is talking about hating college, and we know it's 99% because of his Jr-in-HS gf back home. SS is across the country and has a ton of friends, is in a frat, and this college is amazing for his major. There are HUGE opportunities that he could never get anywhere else. But, a month before he left for college he decided to get super serious with his gf here. WHY. Prior to that they would go weeks without seeing each other.
OSD28 just walked into the kitchen, started rummaging through our refrigerator and pantry area and took a BIG chunk of my homemade breastfast bars then started to walk away with it. DH called after her, "Those are homemade" to which she replied "It looks like it" and then closed the door.
Byatch!
Does she know she is getting under my skin? Lord have mercy, this one is going to be the death of me. I'm not saying anything to DH. No "thank-you," no, "They're so delicious I can't resist ... thank-you so much!" This woman child needs to leave!
I have decided this year I'll be taking a much needed step back from getting SD 15 a lavish gift. She already sent her Christmas list to DH in which she asked for her usual lululemon outfits, skims and such. I think DH gave her cash last year since he opted out on giving her skims and that stuff. Of course, SIL loves to spoil her with lululemon since SD was about 10.
Hi everyone. I created a post a year ago then wrote to admin to have it removed from fear of what repercussions to come. I am so scared to make the right choice and do not know what to do first.
I've lived with my fiancé and his 2 kids boy 8 girl 7 for 2 years, though I've known him/his family since I've been 5. His house is a few hundred feet from his mom and dad of which employ him, babysit, cook, cut his lawn (you get the picture).
Please read history blogs to see what I'm facing. Hubby will not change. He works most of the time we have sd unless it's the weekend. Saturdays are a break cause he takes her to hockey for approx 6h a day and I'm home with the 2 Littles. But I guess it's not a break really, just a break from them.
A few weeks ago my SO told me his family was having Thanksgiving on Saturday the 23rd. He said he didn't want to go, though, because his mother would still be visiting family out of the country. His brother and his wife are best friends with his BM2 and really screwed him over by feeding her information on her last ex-parte attempt. So he said he wasn't going.
In my last blog post entry I discussed how DH and I were in the process of going no contact with MIL. We have gone (mostly) no contact since April with a few slip ups on DHs side entertaining her threats (like she's going to get us evicted from our rental, take custody of SS, get DH fired) and harassing him via texts/calls. Since then, she has been blocked on both of our phones and social media accounts. MIL has tried other ways to "get to us" through sending gifts to the kids through BIL or trying to relay messages through her boyfriend to provoke us to let her see SS.
