My annual rant about FSD

I am so lucky that I don't have many negative things to say about FSD. I think being hundreds of miles away from her helps.

She turned 19 on Monday and FDH sent her flowers and a gift card to her choice of store. It was Disney Dad level gift card, her exact words were, "OMG, I can buy like, 100 things!'

So it was a nice gift.

What does she do? She posts on Facebook saying, "By the way, it is your daughter's birthday in case you care."

Um, WTF? FDH logs on to Facebook about once a month or so. He uses it mainly to keep extended family updated on his Mother's health condition. In fact, the last time he posted it was about FMIL's hospitalization two months ago.

So here FSD posts this crap on his wall where his entire family and members of my family can read it and think he is a deadbeat Dad. He can delete it but the damage is done once everyone reads it.

It just really makes me sad when she does that, she did it last year, too. He just isn't on facebook, just because he does not post on your wall doesn't mean he is a crappy father.

So, next year she will be able to buy zero things with her birthday gift.

Frankly, I think he needs to call her up and talk to her about this. He could call her out right on FB so people will know that he is not a deadbeat, "Yes, I know it's your birthday which is why I sent you a card and a gift. You're welcome." But, it's probably obvious to people that he does not consistently use FB so I would ignore it, as if I had not seen it.

People hopefully are not thinking anything about it except that maybe she's a brat.

Ask her to send a photo of the flower display n then post that shit on her FB page.

I'd show her up ~ dumb selfish bitch

She's a woman now and childish things like big birthday gifts cease. A token card from now on maybe twenty bucks for a restaurant if he still feels divorce guilt. Me? It would be zero.

in my case sds adults call dh every day to just chat. they are always asking for money. they are in tehir twenties and talk to their father every day? when they were in teens they refused to talk to father when he was out of state. or they would refuse to talk to him for months on end. it was humiliating to listen to him leave messages on the voice mail whining and begging them to call him. bm poisoned them against him and he tried to make up for it with disney behaviour.
