There is nothing more frustrating than the way DH behaves if there has been a lot of time in between visits with his kid. It turns DH into Disney Dad.

Suddenly I don't exist. And when I do exist, every single effing conversation is about his kid or Uberskank.

This was a weekend where I wished I was single again. There is more to my life than DH's kid and the fact she won't listen to his advice.

All I wanted to do was scream.....SHE IS NOT THE INNOCENT PRINCESS LOCKED IN THE TOWER BY THE EVIL HARPY UBERSKANK!!!

DH....this is for you. If you don't want your kid to act like a victim, then STOP treating her like one.

Okay....got it off my chest. I'm done now.

Know just what you mean about DH turning into Disney Dad and you suddenly don't exist. Then when they go home, Sunday night - oops - looks like I just lost my invisibility cloak and DH suddenly realises I am here. Sad

I'm trying not to let this bother me. But when I replayed a part of the weekend in my head, I keep getting mad.

There are some food carts close our our home. We walked to them for lunch on Saturday. While we're walking, no matter what I did, DH and his kid walked together leaving me on my own in front of or behind them. I felt like an outsider. When I tried to walk with DH and take his hand, he brushed me off and met up with his kid again.

WTF??? He even went so far as to cut me off when people were coming from the opposite direction to get behind his kid, leaving me last. I got annoyed and said, thanks for being a gentleman. He had no idea what I meant by my comment.

I miss living alone and being single.

Next time I would turn around and go somewhere else. You obviously weren't wanted & no way would I play third wheel.

Yes, she left yesterday. Funny thing....the longer I'm an SM, the more I realize the problem is DH. Not his kid, she just has effed up parents.

She wasn't so bad having around. But the way DH behaves when she's with us makes me insane. I hate that he treats her like an honor guest, rather than his kid. And I hate that no matter what I talk about, ship, slips or sealing wax, he says things like "Oh D love sealing wax, I should go buy her some."

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..........
