SD, BM and that entire family are just so ignorant

So I guess SD19 broke it to BM's mother (the person she's closest to on that side of the family) that she is dating loser boyfriend 26 with at least six kids with at least three women. I mentioned before he is black, and now you'll understand why. BM's family has always been racist and told SD she is NOT to date anybody black. Of course she immediately goes out and jumps into bed with every black guy she finds (I'm exaggerating, but you know what I mean).

Just random SD crap

DH and I are watching the Super Bowl and he brings up the idea of getting a family portrait taken. I must preface this by saying we only actually have one of those, taken when youngest BD now 6 was 1. Why? Because Dh can't bear to have a family portrait taken without SD19. And I can't bear to have her in it after the way she has treated me and our two BDs, plus the fact that she's never around and when we schedule she doesn't bother to show up and DH won't do it without her.

Having my own kids has really opened my eyes to the dysfunction that was/is DH and SD

DH and I have been dating since SD was 5, married since she was 8 (she is now 19). I am not exaggerating that every single thing was a battle/uphill fight. And now that I have kids of my own, this is really brought home for me.

BM's mom sent us a Christmas card?

WTH?! DH didn't tell me, I found it laying around this morning, addressed to MR. DH and family, and mailed to our old address (we moved seven months ago and BM's mom knows this).

Inside is a handwritten note about how BM's mom asked SD19 for our new address but "I guess she forgot." And it is signed:

BM's mom and dad, BM's brother and his wife, SD19, and BM's brother's two kids.

DH continues to disappoint, guess I have to learn to live with it

DH honestly gives me no credit, and my head is about to pop off with how little he must actually think of me.

So DH actually got up the nerve to refile taxes after BM claimed SD19 when it was our year (last year). We got a check for $3100, which I opened and which DH openly admitted he didn't intend me to see. More on WHY later.

For how long do you buy Christmas gifts for your children?

DH and I are having a disagreement regarding Christmas and SD19.

In his family, they rarely got gifts and certainly not after they were grown and out of the house.

In my family, we stop giving gifts when children turn 18, reasoning that they are adults. We do an adult gift exchange in our family where each adult picks another adult's name out of a hat and spends a reasonable amount of money (like $25) on a gift for them.

So DH asks me the other day "What are uggs?" I about choked. I knew exactly what was going on.

OMG, so funny!

Just randomly the other night, BD9 asked me why DH and SD's BM did not stay married to each other. I told her that was a question for her dad, so when he walked into the room she asked him. I knew this would come up eventually, but I don't think he thought about it for a second before that moment.

Biting my tongue about the damn double standard

BD9's school offers shopping to buy presents for people for Christmas. She was very frugal and had a long list of people for whom she would buy $3 presents. Total was less than $20. As she has little opportunity to earn money beyond chores, I am still financing her Christmas present giving. Usually she makes presents for people and I buy the materials, which costs a minimal amount (less than $20).
