A friend of mine sent me this today & it made me laugh. She was working on a project and was asking a writer friend for a positive, warm fuzzy definition of holidays & this is what she got.

holidays -- that time of year when you spend money you don't have, on people you don't like, for stuff that they will never use.

Youngest SD's wedding is 8 months away...so she is heavy into the planning stages...

SO far her Mom is not placing any demands on her, or being difficult, which is what we all (SD included) expected.

BUT the oldest SD is being horrible!!!!

SD fell in love with this beautiful wedding dress....
oldest SD tell says "I hate that dress!" ....

All the other bridesmaids picked out a really nice shade of blue for their dresses....
oldest SD says "I'm not wearing that shade of blue!"....."I'll make me look fat"

Hello, just wondering if anyone has any issues with BM being intrusive. When Skids are over she has to call at least once sometimes 2,3 times to speak to them(SS15,SD10)then they have to call her to say good-night or whatever...sometime i hear the conversation when they don't go hide...it's like a play by play of what's happening in our home. This woman is so jealous(vendictive/rude etc..) This has being going on for 6yrs,how do you guys handle this??? I'ts even so bad that she shows up at my door to talk to kids drop stuff off b/c kids asked for eg.
