*rolls eyes*
So after months and months of silence and non-response, SD18 called her father today.
Was this to check in, see how he is, maybe see how her little sister is? Of course not. Was it, as I had predicted, about money? Well gee, yes yes it was.
She wanted to know if she was financially responsible for her own co-pays. Or is DH responsible for those. Sorry SD, you're an adult, CS is over, and you've made it excessively clear you want nothing to do with us. Your freaking medical bills are Your problem. We are still providing you with health insurance even though you apparently want us to be no part of your life, the rest is on you.
So DH was apparently very clear, her bill, her responsibility. Then told her she didn't have to go right away, they could chat a bit. And this is where I roll my eyes. SD starts Bawling. She doesn't want to talk to DH. Ok, whatever. But WTF are you crying for? DH ended the call very soon after. Then he's asking me what the crying is all about. Um, manipulation. Though why she thought crying would get her anywhere is beyond me. DH is pretty over her trying to be the victim of everything.

She's lucky to still have
She's lucky to still have health insurance. So glad your DH did not fall for the tears.
I don't know what is with these kids, thinking they can basically tell their dads to eff off, then expect them to come to their rescue.
My SD found out the hard way that if she wanted to act like her dad was not needed in her life, she could go on with her bad self and live that life without any help from him. He'll give her advice, like, "Get a job," but that's it.
Well in SD's world, DH Owes
Well in SD's world, DH Owes her. College tuition, car insurance, medical bills.... He should Have to pay. When the court told her (or BM technically) it wasn't happening she went on FB to extol to the world about how her father had written her off. Yep, of course. All his fault. Nothing to do with the fact that SD wants no relationship, won't return emails, respond to cards or letters.... Nothing to do with not having had her phone number for 4 years. Nothing to do with no longer having her home address. Never mind the fact that she never once Asked for any help with college. Nope. All DH's fault.
This sounds just like my SD .
This sounds just like my SD . And of course, it's about money. Except in my case, skids (21 and 18) could care less about bills. Only stupid, responsible people pay those.
Well, if you are my SD, the
Well, if you are my SD, the taxpayers and BM pay her bills. So, guess who's ass she kisses? Not the taxpayers'.
Of course, she kisses BM'S
Of course, she kisses BM'S a**. Taxpayers can't cut her off. My SKIDS' attitude (learned from guess who) is that money should not be spent on bills and that Daddy should be forever an ATM because that's all daddy is good for.
Good thing your dh has
Good thing your dh has realized she's only calling for $$$ too many of them keep handing it over because they think their kids actually give a shit about them and just happen to call when they want money
We actually talked about this
We actually talked about this a few weeks ago. That yes, SD would reach out again at some point and it would be about money. DH didn't really Want to believe it, but he is an awfully smart guy. And he is thankfully not so deluded as to think SD cares about him after all the crap, the eff offs, the social media slander, bad mouthing him to the family, and her incredible nastiness around her sister's birth.
When we talked about it, he admitted it was a possibility and that he was unwilling to have a "relationship" based on him being an ATM. So thankfully, he was prepared.
I do feel a little bad for her on some level because BM took her to the ER for every freaking sniffle so the girl is used to it and likely has No idea what her medical bills have cost all these years. Oh well, BM should have prepared her better since DH and I are so darn evil.
She sounds like my SD. Only
She sounds like my SD. Only difference, mine is 30. I'm just lucky that she lives in the other side of the counrty.
