Came for Gifts - Exit Stage Left

So unforunately I was correct. StbSD13 showed up for 40 minutes to get her gifts and left. Her father was there for three days and that was the only time she bothered to show up. He did force her to call me and say thank you for the gifts, which was something new - it made me happy and seen. I stayed home alone and had Christmas with the doggies. It was quiet and I watched A Christmas Story five times with a bottle of champagne. Today is his birthday, so I planned him a special dinner to try to make up for some of his angst.

I hope everyone had a low key holiday like me, but I'm sure I'll get some entertaining reading. I'm watching for NotSoBradyBunch's wager breaker!

Wow... he got 40 mins out of

Wow... he got 40 mins out of 3 days. That is disgusting. I hope he doesn't bother next year.

We left most of SS's presents under the tree from us and sent a picture that says they will be here waiting for you.

He has already said he will

He has already said he will not be wasting his time next year both to me and to her directly. She could have made slightly more of an effort. The good news is she will disappear now for awhile until about a month before her birthday, so heres to three months of some peace I suppose. I'd rather take no peace and for her to show up for him but that's like wishing for a unicorn right now.

SD 16 that lives with us did

SD 16 that lives with us did the same to her mother & BMs family. Got her gifts early and came home. Dont feel sorry for BM...she made her bed now lie in it. She has destroyed rhese children. Some day she will appreciate your husband for his efforts or she's an ahole and there is nothing you can do
