Xander ,'First Date'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So my SIL's family managed to not call for my nephew's birthday, Christmas AND her brother announced on fb today that he & his wife are expecting this summer and her mother goes all gaga over a grandbaby to spoil, nevermind the 2 she's ignored for the last 5 years.
Now, PJ years ago gave up expecting anything resembling sane behavior from them, but it still pisses her off.
Ooh, that'd piss me off too, sarameg, but the truth is she's losing out more than they are. It's been my experience that, in the wake of not bequeathing my kids much in the way of living grandparents, they've had a wealth of relatives and friends happy to shoulder grandparenting duties.
It's true. She doesn't bad mouth her parents and brother to the kids, but Dominic is catching on.
Just got back from mom and dads. For those of you who have not heard, SNOW IN TEXAS. like on the ground, and staying. of course my car was outside so was covered in ice and snow and doors were semi-frozen shut.
Mac stayed over with the grandparents, unexpected, but nice. I just hope that Bailey will do ok sleeping in his room alone.
I have been kinda strenuously arguing tonight, but I actually applied a lesson learnt from the internet--just walk away (after summing up how absurd you think the whole thing is).
I have been having fun saying "But that's not the truth --you can't alter truth. That's just how it works." People here trust me a lot, but I was also right, so it works out.
sarameg, was she always this way, from the birth of the kids, or maybe the marriage? What set her off?
Very headachey right now *and* I just discovered a dent in my head. How do you just get a dent: [link] ? My mother mentioned a "bald spot" when first she saw me, but that's the first I'd heard of it. I could have been walking around for ages with that...
Weird, ita.
Ooh, that's exciting, msbelle! We had a dusting, but that's it.
She doesn't bad mouth her parents and brother to the kids, but Dominic is catching on.
That's the best way to do it, of course.
that's odd ita, think you would have noticed that before.

Especially since you go to the barber fairly often.
The real weirdness became apparent when Tyler was born, and ramped up to a poison pen letter out of the blue about 3 or 4 years ago ( from her mom, to be clear.) There is really no logic driving that train, except selfishness and Crazy.
Thunderstorms have finally moved out of the area.
I feel like I'm being that bitter mom. I have really tried letting go of my feelings over the bf and go with the "I'm happy if she is happy" but it isn't working well. He left an hour ago and I don't think he will be back til Thurs. not that he talked to me about it, that is just my inferance. See...bitter.
