"Dad, Mum said she is disappointed that you didn't buy anything for Nuna"

This is what SS14 said to DH last night on their video call. SS14 is in Cyprus visiting BM2 for another week.

Let me back up and explain. Several years ago when BM2 and DH were divorced but both still living in Cyprus, BM2 decided to have a Cypriot Christening in a Greek Catholic church. Mainly because her Cypriot bf and his family's influence. DH was never invited. BM2 told him after the event that he wasn't "allowed" to go because he'd be too embarrassing.

Nuna is a relative of the Cypriot bf. She is the Greek version of SS14's Godmother, appointed at the Christening. Nothing to do with DH and everything to do with her bf, his family and the nonsense Christening that DH wasn't allowed to attend. The only reason BM2 is so concerned with doing anything for Nuna is because she gives out money all the time.

About a month ago, after MIL passed away and BM2 was still super annoyed that she couldn't attend her funeral...she mentioned to SS14 that "remind your Dad to buy a present for Nuna so you can bring it with you when you come visit me." I don't know if it's Nuna's birthday or what but we just looked at each other like WTF and didn't say a word.

Last night DH was talking to SS14 on a video call and SS said to him "Dad, Mum said she is disappointed that you didn't buy anything for Nuna." BM2 was in the background walking about as they spoke.

DH - Well SS14 I have had more important things to deal with this past month with your Nanny passing away. I'm also out of work and not getting a lot of money right now until I start my new job. Plus I have important things to buy, like your school clothes and other things that you need. This isn't an appropriate conversation that you and I should be having right now. So, what have you been doing..."

He knew BM2 could hear him and by the way she was stomping about, she wasn't happy with what she heard. Why in the world should DH every buy anything for any member of HER bf's family?! Regardless of who SS14 lives with, it is nothing to do with DH. It would be like DH asking BM2 to have SS14 buy something for my mother for whatever reason.

Makes no sense, and the fact that she dragged SS14 in the middle of it and is trying to mess with his head. It won't work because SS14 has no idea about social/mental/coy mind games. He doesn't get it, it just doesn't process in his head. Maybe because of his autistic traits. He will never hate DH or me or stop talking to DH or want to live with BM2. He said to DH outright on the call that he misses him and can't wait to come back home.

What a piece of work she is.

LOL try having your skid ask you to buy their BM odds and ends. Chucky used to ask us to buy BM chocolate and wine so he could give it to her. Once he even asked my H to buy BM a birthday present and showed an item she had asked for.

Oh, she's tried that as well. She also tried to invite DH and SS to a hotel she was staying in overnight in London and made it CRYSTAL CLEAR I wasn't invited. She tries everything. DH has opened his eyes to what a piece of work she is and doesn't tolerate it one bit now. He's not nasty but he does stand up to her.

Now, if I could only get him to start parenting Blum 3
