BF's sister called to say that BF's niece is graduating from college and the party is this saturday.
Can anyone GUESS what his response was??
That's right!
"Well, I don't know; the skids MIGHT be coming over this weekend"
Once again the skids coming over has trumped this most important celebrating of actual ACHIEVEMENT!!!
This is at least the third time he has put his own sister off like this when being invited to a party, etc.
Last time his sister got on the phone, very upset that he didn't come over and wanted to know if I was keeping us from coming!!! (nothing could be further from the truth; i really like his sister and she likes me)
She actually SYMPATHIZES with my plight and the fact that he continues to put his slackassed ungrateful brats ahead of everything else!!
I've decided I'm going the party even without him and actually show that celebrating achievement is more important than enabling DULLARDS!
I was actually going to
I was actually going to say.. Hey bf's sis.. he might not be able to come due to skids (although, why does that matter?? couldnt the skids go to the party too?? or no because its not all about them??).. But count me in. I will be there for sure. When and where?
You can't take those HELLIONS
anywhere. They'd wreck the place and the party!!! They are completely ultra high maintenance and if the days plans don't revolve around them and are not FUN FUN FUN, they start pouting, whining and disrupting everyone, turning everything into a complete disaster and demanding their father's 100% attention. They would not play with other children in attendance other than to cause bodily harm to them.
And BF ALWAYS wants me to be there when skids are there b/c it adds to his delusion that we are all one big family!! Nothing could be further from the TRUTH!
I just called Sis
and left a message that i would like to come and when/where is the party?
BTW one time i mentioned to the skids
that "auntie [insert BF's sister's name]" is having her arm operated on.
and the skids said "WHO??!!!"
Skids ONLY KNOW BM's family and both BM AND BF like to KEEP it that way!!!
BM has BF SOOOO p-whipped that he has been convinced by BM and her family that HIS side of the family is NO GOOD and a BAD INFLUENCE on skids. WOW! "Kettle, Pot on line 1!!!" BM and her family are a bunch of lazy, win at all costs even if it means cheating, underachieving, pretend-to-be-important, lime-light-loving, slackers!!!
BF's family is just a regular hard working family that doesn't put on airs like BM's family (except for BF's older alternative lifestyle brother who fits right in with the BM's family; he's REAL GOOD at putting on airs and pretending to be "high class)
Will she and her new dh be
Will she and her new dh be back from their honeymoon to turn the skids over?
Perhaps taking them out in public to his side of the family.. and then HIS family telling him those skids are no good and spoiled brats will get him to open his eyes and realize that he can no longer guilty parent, as his children are suffering because of it.
I cringe when I have to bring the skids to my family events. But I do, and I make sure they behave or that their father is ON them... They have gotten better over the years... they now know what MY expectations are (which are HIGHER than DH's).
Have a great time at the party, sans bf and the skids!!
Crayon - good for you!! If
Crayon - good for you!! If he wants to sit around waiting for his kids to maybe show up that is his problem. Go to the party and show your support for your niece !!

I told him last night that I was thinking of going
His response: "well, i'm not interested in going; besides we have excavation work to do around the house here"
Me: "wasn't the neighbour supposed to be helping us out with that?" (after BF foolishly gave away two industrial generators in exchange for excavation help)
BF: "oh, he can't; his equipment broke down" (now i know this is a fib b/c BF has not had a chance to talk to neighbour at all; in fact i got home before he did last night and he was definitely at work)
So the upshot is that I have to spend even more money to rent equipment so that BF can haul dirt around while i watch any skids should they show up!
I called "sis" up and explained what was going on. She told me where the party was and that I was more than welcome to show up with or without BF. She also told me that skids told BF's traiterous brother that they don't like coming to daddy and crayon's house b/c all they do is WORK!
This is an utter lie, yes we do some work around the house but then there is tv, movies, games, playing outside. AND when they come over they do as little as possible, quickly lose interest (as in 5 minutes into the chores) and start goofing around.
"Sis" confirmed that BM has no expectations or rules and lets the skids do whatever they want when at home; something we already knew.
I would tell bf too bad.. I
I would tell bf too bad.. I spoke w/your sister, and I am going. I deserve to have fun once in a while.
I would call the neighbor up and ask him when he is coming over to hold up his end of the barter arrangement, or when can he return those generators.
Men!
As for the skids and their complaints. Too bad.. its life kiddos, not everything is fun. DH now makes skids clean their rooms up CORRECTLY each weekend they are here. No not doing it. Its like their ONLY chore.
Party down!
Crayon you do deserve some fun, and some real life support from BF's family sounds good too . . . I hope you get to go! Sis sounds great!
I cracked up too at, pot, kettle on line 1 - I have to use that on my DH, thanks, ha ha!!!!
