When even the skids aunt doesn't want to see them

Things have been good in step land and with DH. Little things here and there. But for the most part nothing that directly involves me. So that is PERFECT.

Early Friday morning, SIL drove through our state on her way from one base to another base. (she is in the Navy). She got there at 2am and told DH she was leaving at 8 or 9 in the morning.

Well I was off for my birthday. BS was taking me to the movies (saw Ghostbusters, it was really good) so at 10:40 I knock on the guest room door and tell her It's almost 11, BS and I are heading to movies soon but she can stay as long as she needs and to just lock the door when she leaves.

Well about 30 minutes later she asked if she could go to the movies with us and take me to lunch for my birthday. She said that she didn't want to travel in the storms (we had bad weather and same where she was headed) and was hoping for it to clear before she headed out and plus she wanted to celebrate my birthday with me.

So off to the movies and lunch the 3 of us go.

When we were done it was close to DH being home from work so she decided to stay just a little longer to tell him goodbye. Plus my sister, mom and nieces were coming over for my birthday so we all visited and had a nice time.

So DH comes home. Makes some joke about what was she still doing there. Acting a little annoyed that she was having a good time with me and my family.

Well then DH says "You should have visited your nieces and nephew."

SIL responded "I dont have their numbers, well YSD but she is out of town I think, and plus I wanted to go with Zero for her birthday."

DH then mumbled something under his breath. I looked at SIL and said don't let him make you feel bad, he hardly sees his kids. And she said "Oh I'm not, I'm not even that close with them."

It irked me. Like HELLO if SIL wanted to see your kids, she would have. But she didn't, so don't make some smart ass comment about it. Even the skids own blood isn't jumping through hoops to see them. And then it's my birthday and DH is making some stupid comment about the kids, well it is my birthday and I thought it was nice that SIL wanted to spend it with me. But of course the skids trump anything. (eyeroll)

On a side note she said that YSD texted her on her birthday (YSD's birthday) in April and said "It's my birthday." She's 17. WTF. Who does that?

OSD is separated again from her DH. Which is a good thing since he is a drug user and abuser.

SS has court tomorrow for his second DUI and spent the weekend in the DUI class/jail thingy that they do. I'm pretty sure he will be going to jail tomorrow since his first DUI sentence was probation with jail time suspended if he didn't get in anymore trouble and then like 2 months later he gets another DUI.

She should have called him out and said "Oh great idea, Mr. Zero! Why don't you and I go together, we can go right now!" Promise your DH would have been stuttering and stumbling and coming up with excuses because HE doesn't even see his damn kids, so why would he expect someone that hardly knows them to make some grand effort. Pfft.. movies and lunch with you guys is wayyyyyy better than PBR's and Pall Malls with the skids in the hood.

I just asked Paint if Mr. Baby might have an extra pacifier she could stick in her man child's mouth... I'm gonna see if she has an extra one for your butthead too Blum 3

... and p.s. SD18 was just here for 4 weeks and the only person who made any kind of effort to see her was MIL (because she's a weirdo) not even SS17 could be bothered. None of her (so called) "friends" who were wailing and sobbing when she left 1.5 years ago, made an effort to see her either. I think that speaks volumes....

YSD17 was trolling for birthday gifts/money. IMHO.

Happy birthday, zero!!

Thank you!

That is my thought too. What 17 year old texts her aunt who she rarely sees and tells her it's her birthday. SIL made it sound like the text was very random and annoying. LOL.

I have a nephew who lives on the west coast - I've only seen him a handful of times and we are not close at all. When he turned 21, he emailed EVERYONE: aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins... It was like a chain letter. "I'm finally 21 and can do as I like, about to graduate college, blah blah. And I LOVE YOU SO MUCH." Uh huh. Riiiiiiiight. Trolling for stuff.

Oh wow! I would be super annoyed. What is wrong with kids these days? Seriously?

Happy Birthday! I recently had a bday too, went away for 1&1/2 weeks to get away from SD & her mom.

What's wrong with your SIL wanting to hang out with you on your bday? That's a bit weird. SIL can do what SIL wants to do. Why does your man need to have an opinion about it? It comes off a bit like he's jealous, just not sure what he's jealous of. That SIL spent so much time with you on your bday or that SIL wanted to be with you & not skids. If it's the later, I'm pretty sure it's ok for you to get a day! If it's the former, that's what the rest of the day can be for & he better not be a sourpuss about it on your day!
