Do I have to meet the new baby?

DH and I have been married for 10 blissful months. We met 1 1/2 years ago and we are just crazy about one another. My 20 yr. old daughter loves her step dad and we visit her in college (Austin) frequently. BD is a joy and is an honors student who just aced the LSAT!! The problem is mostly with SD (30) from hell and occasionally SS (35). The SD is married to an illegal alien, has two children with one more on the way and is a constant source of pain. She does not immunize her kids, discipline her kids or really take care of them. They are so embarrassingly misbehaved that we can't go anywhere in public with them. The problem started before I ever met the SD. The BM was the local slut who ran around on my husband constantly. This is a small town and everyone knew about it and it was quite painful for him. In fact, once the school bus driver called DH to tell him to have his wife move her vehicle out of the middle of the road as she was trying to steer the bus around it while the BM was having sex in the car with one of her BF. Needless to say, the break up (10 years+) ago was not pretty. When the two children were older BM told them the reason she had to move out of town and get a divorce was because my DH had too many girlfriends. DH had to set the record straight some years ago and let them know that she followed one of her BF to Oklahoma to live and took the SD. Yeah, she is a Jerry Springer white trash piece of work!!! DH was so smitten with me when we met that he called his daughter to tell her he wanted her to meet me that he had met the love of his life. That, needless to say, did not go well...she was cold, rude, never offered me a seat or a bathroom or a drink after a 6 hour drive!!! The situation only became worse as time went by. The first weekend with my fiance, SD, along with a cousin (by marriage) of DH decided they would pay us a visit and stay at the house. I was never asked, I was told they were coming. The cousin is a foul-mouthed nosy strange duck. She is always in everyone's business and was so jealous of me that the SD and cousin were finally told by DH to leave if they could not treat me better. Cousin apologized but SD never did. Cousin (who I think is not-so-secretly in love with my DH) planned to host a surprise 60th bday party for my DH and his cousin (married to the foul mouth) on DH's bday. Never told me until almost last minute. DH and I already had plans to move BD to sorority house (only time we could do it) so I told the cousin and SD that we needed to change the date. They refused and said they would host party without me coming. I finally had to inform DH of the plans and he had to have a talk with his daughter. She lied and said I knew of the plans all along as the cousin had told me (total BS). Cousin had been talking to DH before I was in the picture about her marriage woes to DH's cousin and how she wanted a divorce...I am thinking now she was really trying to make a play for DH. YIKES!!! I kept trying to be nice to both of these idiots and actually asked the SD to be in our wedding and I paid for a nice Vegas trip for all. SD just never got any better; she got DWI and I insisted upon helping her financially. I gave SS and SD tons of money thinking I might be able to buy their affection. SD continued to speak horribly about me to other in laws and I finally blew my stack when she made up a lie which was told to a niece in law. DH called SD and told her that she needed to explain why she said what she said about me. He handed me the phone and I asked where she had heard such a story. She first said her dad told her, then she said someone else told her and finally she had the nerve to say that she thought maybe she had heard it from me????? This was all in the same sentence, I never said another word but just handed the phone to my DH. I told DH I will not have a relationship with her or the cousin again!!! He totally supports me (LOVE THIS MAN) and knows if he wants to see these two, it is without me. He refuses to do it though which makes me feel guilty!!! This SD is having another baby with the illegal (she can't afford the first two and gets money from us, although not like she used to) We pay for their car insurance and occassional car repair bills and that is it. She had the nerve to ask her dad to pay to have one of her tattoos removed as she was "tired of it." I know, right?? The dilemma is, she is about to give birth and i DO NOT want to meet the new child; does this make me a bad person?? I have a ton of other crap to write about this white trash family but was tired of moaning for the moment...ha!

You do not have to meet the baby. You actually don't have to do anything you don't want to do. Choose the battle you want to fight, and go from there.

Thank you, I feel better. SD will be having the baby at her home with mid-wife; she is beyond weird, so I know she will want money from us...not getting it from me!

I don't know as it was years ago but I DO know that the bus driver saw as she called my DH and told him about it...isn't that so sad?

It is pretty hysterical; DH and I laugh at all of her past antics. She would lose her wedding rings all of the time as she would take it off when she went to a bar. She has slept with everyone in TX, OK and Arkansas (where she now resides.) DH said she slept with everyone but him; not sure those two are his bio kids!!!

Nope does not make you a bad person at all. I wouldn't want to see that baby or her, or any of the other children or SS. After the way they have treated you, why would you want to be around them? Enough is enough. And yes, she should be paying for everything herself -- she is a big girl and capable and able to take care of things herself.

What I don't get is why can't these step children be happy for their dad? I simply don't get it?!! You obviously make him very happy. Their mom is a fruit cake and she didn't want to be with him, and they have been long since done .... what the heck? Good grief.

DH and I bought Bon Jovi tickets and invited SD and her illegal to join us for the evening. SD informed us that her illegal husband was uncomfortable dining in the places where we like to dine so we needed to choose another. We paid for several hundred dollar dinner at Ritz in Dallas time before and he was miserable. We ALWAYS pay so I say we get to choose where we dine. We live in a small town so we don't have great dining options; we dine nice places when we have the chance. I NEVER want to go out to eat with those two again!!! BTW, SD refuses to take birth control as it is a "chemical" that she doesn't want in her body. She just now weaned the 4 yr old off of breast feeding...she is weird beyond belief!!! She refuses to use a microwave as she feels it is harmful. She is a chiropracter and quite simply: nuts! I wish her worthless illegal would get deported and she along with him. Wait, did I say that out loud? She is horrible to her lovely father and such a manipulative user. When she had the last child at home with midwife, they took pictures of the birth and passed them around at the family Christmas; talk about hugely embarrassing and disturbing...yikes!

My DH just now finally was able to talk his 35 yr. old son into removing pictures of his ex in the family frames all of the grandkids have at his mom and dad's house. The piece of crap son didn't even have a pic of his own dad, only several with his slutty mom. DH's mom died in April, before she passed, she was in ICU. His kids brought their mother to the hospital and she sat with the entire family through the ordeal. My DH and I went into another room and he let his kids have it later...they are the WORST! My 53rd bday yesterday, never a card or call. They expect me to send them gifts but never reciprocate. The foul-mouthed cousin came to the funeral and met my mother for the first time. She licked her face like a dog when she was introduced; I am stunned an amazed by the trailer trash mentality of all of them!!! The night before, DH invited (unfortunately) the foul-mouth and his cousin to dinner with us at the Country Club, her language (f bombs constantly) was so offensive, I had to apologize to all of our friends when the cousin(s) left...eek!! HELP ME!!!

BTW, this SD has naked pictures of her little girls using the toilet on FB; isn't their a law against that type of posting???

I wish it were a typo; you got it correct the first time...she LICKED my 70 year old mother's face as if she were a dog!!! This woman used to call my DH on a daily basis until I told him how disturbed I am by her. She is the nosiest person ever; asked me how my sex life was with DH the first time she met me. White trash nasty piece of work!!!

Now that I have disengaged; I find it quite amusing...just wish it didn't hurt my sweetie so much!!!

I'm sorry that you have to put up with these crazy people!!!! You sound like a very nice person and, no, you don't have to meet the latest future felon. My SD33 just had her 5th baby with the 5th loser and I'm stepping waaaay back. I quickly became very fond of the first 4 and she uses them like weapons against me. I haven't seen them in months and months even though we live in the same town. It breaks my heart, but I realized after that that if something happened to my DH I would NEVER see them again anyway.
