SD has graced DH with her presence
and DH is so excited. It is like he has just seen his long lost lover or something. He hasn't come down from the high of seeing her yet. They have been texting each other for a few days now. He didn't see her or talk to her much for a little over a month.
He told me that she was trying to plan a week vacation for the two of them. I doubt DH is going though. He may think it is a great idea but I am not so sure he would want to go since he would be paying for the entire vacation. We have separate checking accounts so I will not be funding this trip and SD blows her money faster than she makes it. Yes, a 19 year old and her daddy on vacation together. Before Dh's Mom passed away, he would take SD for a week trip to visit her out of state to see her and he would call it a vacation. I guess SD thought the vacations could continue after a few years.
I always thought that when she was 18 years old this little sh@#t show would end. I didn't think she would want to hang out with her daddy every other weekend. I was hoping when she wasn't talking to him much that she had finally gotten a life and would be spending time with friends or a new boyfriend. It doesn't seem like it. I guess he will continue to take her out every other weekend until he is too old to drive.
I think it is so odd for a 19 year old girl to plan a vacation alone with her daddy.
Ugh!
Ugh!
That sounds similar to my ex SD. I remember a few months after I started dating her dad, we went on an overseas holiday (him and I).
When she found out we were going on holiday she sent him multiple texts, like
"shot for not inviting me" (WTF? Why would I invite her along???)
"What about our holiday....just you and me"
She was 21 at the time, not 12, although she acted more like 12.
Thanks for the Flash back!
Sounds just like DH's oldest daughter. Mulitple times asking DH to take her on vacations. She even took an idea I had...a romantic trip to Greece for me and DH...and wanted him to take HER! LOL I guess I should not have been shocked. She found out we were reading a "couple's book" and she decided to start reading it and tried to get DH to be her "partner" in reading. So, I guess vacationing isn't out of reach. SMH
Just to be clear...none of those trips happened. Nor did DH participate with her book reading. He told her, I'm reading that with CajunMom.
I blame the whole "Daddy is
I blame the whole "Daddy is Prince Charming, she is his princess" narrative. I can't imagine ever asking my dad (my dad? Ew!) for any of those things.
Eewwww. That's so gross.
Eewwww. That's so gross.
She sounds like an over
She sounds like an over entitled brat. DH and i both think once sd graduates we won't be seeing her very often at all. Her mother bought her a car, and she's talking about getting a job... I'm hoping that means she won't be coming over on weekends anymore and that I'll be free if her for a good long time.
My YSD and I have gone on
My YSD and I have gone on vacation together.. and had a blast. It's not everyone's kind of relationship, I know.. but we are pretty close and she is a good travel partner. She goes on trips with my DH and I as well. She is engaged now at almost 25.. so I'm guessing these trips with just her will not happen as often.. but we have vacationed together every year at least once if not more.
She paid her way.. at least the basics.. though we would often treat a few things that would have been beyond her budget.
I don't think that it's necessarily bad... and I don't think it's necessarily bad if the partner or spouse doesn't want to go. As long as it isn't them just glomming on to get free stuff.. and true interest in quality time with a parent.. and it's not designed to overtly separate their parent from their partner too often.. I don't think there is a whole lot of harm.
I'm glad that your DH is not
I'm glad that your DH is not about taking her on vacation. It's so sick though your SD needs to get her own life she's 19 come on.
Good gawd
Flash backs of this type of shit show.
These daddio issues SD's always, always try to be top dog with daddio. In return daddio eats this shit up and gives the lil princess that spot.
Stoked to hear though that your DH isnt going on vacation with his 19 yr old DD, alone. I am sure people will think they are some kind of couple , creepy.
At 19 vacationing with my folks wouldve been a Yawn, no thanks. Ill never understand.
