My MIL is a manipulative B***H!

Just can't stand my MIL! My DH has finally taken SD off of her pedestal in our home. Now all 4 of our kids are important rather than just SD.. not to MIL though! DH and I have been having problems with MIL for quite some time now. After DH came to the realization that all 4 of our kids should be treated fairly and equally, he grew some balls and called MIL to tell her of this revelation. She has always just come to pick up SD to take her on various adventures and for overnights leaving the other 3 kids home wondering what was wrong with them.

The weekend is too close! :(

Only two more days til we get SD for the weekend. I'm dreading what sickness will be brought to share with the family this time! More problems with the MIL again too. She called last week to ask if she could come to get all the kids to take them to the pumpkin patch, when we told her that we didn't have darling SD she said she would call her BFF BM to ask if she could get SD for the event. BM had taken SD out of town and when MIL found this out, her car magically broke down so she wasn't able to come get the other children for the event.

I thought I was just paranoid!

What is it with skids and their unnatural (and highly irritating) attatchment to DH's? I thought that I was just being paranoid but after reading many posts on here, it seems that we can't all just be being paranoid, this must be a real problem! My SD is overly clingy to DH, in an unnatural, unusual and almost sickening manner. It's unhealthy and makes me uncomfortable. She watches his every move, wants to be on him (not near him, on him) at all times and cries when the other kids call him daddy and says "he's my daddy, not yours" Why are skids like that?

Yay, flu time!

So we had SD4 this weekend. BM sent her over with the flu! I'm horrified by this because I don't want my children to get the flu! My children (BS6, BD2 and BS7 months) are scheduled for flu shots in 2 weeks, so aren't yet protected from it and I'm angry that BM would be dumb enough to infect my toddler and infant with a potentially fatal sickness for their age group! I don't understand why she refuses to keep SD home when she is sick! She doesn't work, so getting sick for her shouldn't be a problem. EVERY time we have SD she is sick.

Any Advice from the been there done that???

I have 3 kids and 1 sd (2 of my kids from a previous relationship and the youngest is mine and dh child together) My dh has played the role of an excellent father figure to my children since we got together 2 years ago. More recently we started getting his daughter on a regular basis, every other thursday through sunday. (His ex hasn't quite let go of him and wouldn't let us get sd because I was now in the picture up until court several month's ago when she had no choice but to let us have her) Anyways, like I said he's been an excellent sf, up until we started getting sd regularly.
