School ceremony that I am thrilled to be missing

AJanie's picture

SS gave us 2 tickets to his school ceremony Friday. Only 4 tickets allowed per kid.

BM sent me a bunch of threatening obnoxious messages the other day. Suddenly today she asks DH, all sweet and innocent, if I can give up my ticket for her mother to go to the ceremony. If DH ever asked her boyfriend to give up his ticket for one of his family members BM would laugh in his face.

My answer regarding the ticket: GLADLY. HAVE IT.

So it will be DH, her, her boyfriend and mother. I hope they have a f*cking blast. I would much rather work. I would also rather crawl through hot coals.

I asked DH if he has yet to defend me after her outburst the other day. Apparently, he told her to "leave me out of it." Let's see if she listens to his half assed demand.

I am currently 110% over all of these people.

I don't like those things in general but BM is the main reason. She amped up her crazy recently and repulses me more than usual.

Nasty. I also wouldn't give up my ticket. BM's mother isn't more important than I am, to the child, or the child would have given g-ma a ticket instead.

It does irritate me that she can completely fly off the handle and harass me and then ask for my ticket. As if I already don't feel low enough on the totem pole.

Honestly, I am glad to miss it. I hate her, hate her mother and hate her boyfriend. DH can stand there with them and feel uncomfortable.

He could also stand alone...

I recently went to one of girls' dance recital... my kids went too, as did my mother... as well as my ex-h and his parents... we all get along just fine... but I sat with my mom and my kids (because they were on my time) and my ex sat 2 rows back on the other end, with his parents.

Unless the tickets are assigned seating, there's no reason for your DH to sit with his ex.

Well I would be extra b!tchy and keep my ticket and not go or send a cousin or kid instead. To me THAT is a win-win.

She dated a wonderful man for a few years who she decided was "too fat" and left him. Skids called him dad. We still see him around town. He has since gotten healthy, slimmed down, has a beautiful wife and a baby. I would love to send him, just to shake her.

I told DH is I had gone I would have worn a white cotton sundress with no underwear and made a spectacle of myself.

It is best for all I sit at work instead.

Pfffft. I would have *lost* that bloody ticket until AFTER the ceremony. Or I would have gone and played Nintendo DS the entire time.

It will be a cold day in Hell before I do ANYTHING that BioHo asks of me. I am always "Her" or "She" - never "Aniki". Then again, if I tried to call her by her given name, I'm afraid I'd slip up and say what I call her in private. }:)

I am pmsing so the whole thing has me extra bitter. I told DH he should just go with BM and they can have family day. Word vomit.

Diane, my DH (old schedule) had to work until midnight on a Friday. I stayed home so the skids could come over and spend some time with him before they went to bed.

This turned into a semi-regular thing. I overheard him on the phone with BioHo telling her he had to work that Friday night and 'Ho replying, "Well SHE can stay home so they can come over."

DH got off the phone and said the skids would arrive around 4:30 on Friday. I said, "Oh, you're not working now?" He said, "I'm still working. I thought you would stay home so they could come over." I looked at DH innocently and said, "Oh honey, I'm sorry, but I made plans with my sister and I won't be home."

After that, as long as he worked that schedule and had OT on Fridays, I ALWAYS had something I was doing and would not be home. Even if it meant picking up cigarette butts in the entire freakin' county...

I'm a bitch - I would've said NO, I'm going....

SS did give you a ticket, why not... SS might have given only DH a ticket and 3 to BM, but no he thought of you.
Thus sorry BM leave your BF at home and take your mother but not my ticket...

I would simply make sure to sit far far away from her...
