Munchausen Monologues

Simpleton21's picture

Sorry to be a bit of a blog hog today but I had to share a new update to this crap show.

Apparently DH told SD that when she comes over this weekend she would just be resting and not doing anything because of her injury and SD responded, "why did she say I was doing bad? I'm confused I'm walking really well now.  And my mom is being a tad dramatic about this injury the whole time anyways".  

Hmmm, well maybe BM is being dramatic about the injury b/c SD was putting on such a show until DH told her she wouldn't be able to do anything...Funny how SD is already feeling better knowing she might miss out on something "fun".  

SD also told him that she is going back to school on Monday despite BM just telling him she needed 2-3 more weeks of recovery/healing and wouldn't be going to school on Monday.  

Also before anyone says this is a DH problem....I agree.....I told him he should not be discussing this with SD and that he should just continue the over treatment for the over exaggerated injury.

Perhaps SD is finally getting fed up with BM's BS? I agree with treating her over-the-top until she finally says "listen, I lied for Mom" or something similar.

Oh, I'm no fool like DH, she is only fed up with BM's antics b/c DH just told her she would be lying in bed all weekend with no phone....up until then she was still putting on the dramatics of stuttering and barely being able to walk.  BM is over the top b/c SD is also over the top.

Your husband needs to enforce the protocol and make her accountable. 

Agree. Until she's cleared by the doctor for normal activity, what she does needs to be restricted.

DH should respond back, "that's great news daughter, but to ensure you don't have a relapse or end up injuring yourself further I will be going forward with the aforementioned requirements for your visit this weekend, after all I would't want you to end up with a permanent stutter and limp."

I agree with this 100%.  DH is already home with SD.  I'm still at work.  He just said, "she seems fine now"....no shit...she has been fine the whole time.  She just knows that you aren't going to baby her and still let her do fun stuff since you told her she would be on bed rest so she's magically cured.  I told him he better stick with the over treatment and if he doesn't I will.  She needs the over exaggerated over treatment to at least lessen the amount of these "severe" injuries.  I usually try to disengage and ignore SD while she is visiting but I'm going to be over the top concerned and limiting in what she can do in my presence.  I can't risk having BM blame me for SD getting suddenly worse.  Which is another common thing for SD.  She'll be "recovering" from whatever injury and then suddenly out of no where she gets worse!  It is crazy how often that happens!

I'm just really afraid she will fall and die.  That was a real concern just a few days ago.  We can't ignore that!

as that not conducive to having a concussion heal.  Plenty of water, fruits and vegetables.  No cookies, chips, soda, sweet drinks, cake, pie, ice cream, desserts of any kind nor fast food.  Basically sugar and white flour, white rice, pasta FREE.

That ought to make her think twice about going along with her BM's Munchausen Kabuki theater.

Has DH ever contacted the doctors to find out the truth of what is going on in these situations? Because this is starting to rise to the level of CPS -reportable.  BM is going to keep her out of school for 3 weeks? If a doctor doesn't agree to that, then that's a CPS call.

It's too bad he buys into this nonsense, he could be the voice of sanity for SD if he didn't.

BM did text him a copy of the dr. note for this "concussion".  SD returns to school today despite BM stating several texts before that SD wasn't cleared for school yet.  That is how idiotic BM is with this stuff.  She over exaggerates it to DH and then sends evidence that doesn't even back her own self up!  

I try to get DH more involved but he is to lazy to handle this appropriately....and then he reverts to guilty daddy....like this past weekend.  He totally agreed with me that she should get over treatment for her over exaggerated injury and then SD says "mom was being dramatic not me" he lets SD off for her part in this injury show.  I totally agree, DH could put a stop to this, but BM and SD play him like a fiddle :/
