What are your thoughts?
For many years I worked to entertain DH's tremendous group of sociall dysfuction--to make certain everything was perfectly done for them. I spent lots of money, worked weeks ahead of time and never received as much as a thank you by anybody. I grew weary of my own insane behavior-- especially after the insults started being hurled directly to me right in my own home and social media with daddeee saying nothing, his usual self.
It took me too long, but eventually I suggested we "share" the worship celebrations among the entitled broad. I was met with the rationale their houses were too small to do that. This year SD decided to do it in her home that was too small when I was working my arse off. (I disengaged from the whole mess years ago). DH went to the annual service this year in the too small house, again, not saying a single word about the known lie. I asked him had she increased the size of her too small house, he said no. No further comment.
Here is the good thing, I was not there....but how could DH be okay with this?
On the other hand, should just one more lie bother me from any of them? He is scared to death of his own daughter....whom I will never be around again with him....you can see why.
You guys are the experts, what are your thoughts? What would you do? DH will never change so I have said nothing more, and I figure as long as I do not have to deal with being around her, maybe I should keep it that way.

As frustrating as this is
and I totally feel your pain,I would stick with the disengagement. You already know if you mention this further to DH it will just get you no where.
I will never truly get why these men are so afraid of these grown SD's, and why its so hard for them to stick up for their wives.
Be glad you never have to see the entitled, and live peacefully (as best you can) with that!
I would open my own bank account
And keep Family fun’s low by moving money into my account, so SO can not give his kids any amount of money. Also gives you a way out if you need it
I am happy there is no
I am happy there is no requirement for me to ever be around them-- ever......I gave it wayyyyy too good of a try anyway. Finances are all good for me/us and DH is an excellent husband otherwise. Thank you Harry and Dovina for your support.
Perfect depiction and
Perfect depiction and description:
"It is absolutely the most awful exisitence. ESPECIALLY asyour trusted guide that you love with every fiber of your being has BROUGHT you to this nightmare .AND THEN leaves you and crosses over to the side of the ugly little or big nasty monsters .
And THEN you discover after a time that this trusted guide is YELLOW and refuses to do anything to bring the monsters to heel."
Yes, you have definitely lived in my world. Nobody without a lot of experience could ever capture it as perfectly has you did.:-)
Metaphors Somethingwicked~
I just never would’ve imagined so many well-meaning women would find themselves “here.”
When I look at the forum for “Adult Stepkids” it’s in the thousands! That topic alone could fill its own website!
It is both a blessing and a curse to know so many of us are a member of this club we never imagined our marriages evolving into!
canyouhelp, you are so very fortunate your husband is a good husband most of the time. Mine is/was too, however the 1% can be a living hell at times.
I just can’t believe the negative behavior most of these girls are allowed (encouraged? When DH’s say or do nothing, it’s as if they’re stamping their seal of approval on all of it) to get away with, at the expense of not only the wives, but the marriage. It’s really tough to trust and respect a coward. Especially when it’s to put SD in the marital driver’s seat.
