When DW is getting ready to visit her family she starts using voice inflections, speech paterns, and facial expressions that are a family thing. Beyond the IL clan family tone, inflections, wording, etc... are the additional and amplified version mY SIL uses. DW adopts a few things that are very similar to what my thief assed POS lying weasle of an SIL does though without the whiney "I'm spe.....cial" toddler thing that the POS SIL does.
Well, I was wrong. SD62 did not take DH's $500 bail refund. The 3 of us went to the Courthouse today and they cut a check for it while we waited. They said, "It should have been mailed" but who knows what happened.
SD told me DH kept saying "just tell me the truth, you cashed it, right?". So, anyway, it ended well.
She didn't look good at all, is having multiple health issues, hands shaking. DH was in raptures, "My 2 favorite people!". Altho she and I were lukewarm, he insisted on going out to lunch.
On and on.....
You might recall that DH bailed SD62, aka The Grifter, out of jail to the tune of $500. She was somehow involved with a credit card scam but the charges were dropped in March. So, where's the $500?
One of the rules at our house is "no electronics at bedtime." SS13 puts his various gadgets in the hall and DH puts them away for the night, then puts them back out when he gets up in the morning. There have been instances of SS holding onto one, lying about whether or not he brought it to our house -- or just neglecting to put one out to see if DH notices.
DH FaceTimed with SS12 tonight for our usual twice weekly call. SS is in the middle of state standardized testing in school and told DH he just wrapped up English last week. DH asked SS what the English portion entailed. SS explained that there was reading, comprehension, and a writing prompt about whether class participation should count toward a student' grade. DH asked SS where he stood on that topic. SS said he felt it shouldn't and outlined his reasons.
This situation has a long backstory, but to summarize: XH and I are the only caregivers for his dad, who has a host of mental and physical health issues. FIL is estranged from his entire family except for us.
Im a little shaky right now, to be honest.
SD25 Feral Forger asked Husband for money$ today. He showed me the back and forth. After he responded with "Im sorry but I just had to pay property tax and water heater, I cannot help you", she lashed out and went Scorched Earth like nobody Ive ever seen.
It was over help paying a freaking phone bill people.
I do not have any skin in the game with this company. DW and I are avid customers. Ideal Protein is our core low carb medically supervised nutrition model.
For decades I have not had bread much other than a nibble off of a corner of my mom's magic.
Quick update, and hope you all enjoyed eclips-ing. Several photographer friends got some relly incredible photos and one even did a time lapse series that was jaw dropping. I gardened and planted and enjoyed not watching it.
Thanks for the advice - a resounding series of Dont Do Or Say Anything To Powersulk or Husband about Driving Test, Even If Its Only To Help.
All I can think is THANK GOODNESS I didn't have to deal with guilt riddled Disneyland parents and manipulative breeders sending sick-as-a-dog skids into my space spreading their pathogens.
I was able to successfully avoid the Rona this season without having to argue and seem like "the mean bad guy"
