DH gave SD18 money for Christmas. He told ME he bought her two pairs of expensive pants, but then he showed up with this GPS and I asked where it came from and he said he bought it for SD for Christmas. I told him I thought you bought her pants. He said, I just gave her cash, she told me that was what she was going to buy with it, but she bought this instead. She can't use it in her car, so she gave it to DH.

This is getting to be such a constant thing, I question myself as to whether/how anyone can actively lie THAT MUCH.

DH just informed me that SD18 gave him her old cell phone (iphone). I asked why. DH has a phone, SD's is less than two years old and, I'm assuming, nothing is wrong with it. And SD18 is so money hungry, no way she'd give it away for free. DH says SD18's contract is up and she could get a new phone for free.

But here's the kicker. I was checking DH's texts and found one where he told SD18 he'd pay her $50 for her old phone.

SD went to live with BM two years ago. Before that, she was with us about 70 percent of the time. Not long ago I went into her room and found my hairspray that I'd been looking for forever, expensive salon stuff. SD17 had taken it and been using it. It made me mad, so I started looking around and found other stuff of mine, including a Palm Pilot that had been given to me by my employer for work use. It had been on my desk and disappeared one day. I decided I must have just misplaced it, although that is not like me.

I know this gets hashed around on a regular basis on StepTalk, but I need some help. DH needs to rewrite his will, which he wrote when it was just him and SD. Problem is, I'm trying to figure out what is "fair" to everyone. Sometimes I just question how the man's mind works...
