Poor hubby, his mother did not have cancer but apparently did have surgery to repair more than one hernia caused by her cancer surgery last year and how did DH find out about this? On FB of all places. Apparently talking to his mother at Christmas was not good enough and she decided to "punish" him by not telling him about her surgery but instead her sister posting it publicly on FB.

Marrying a single dad with two kids is hard enough but it sure gets tougher when DH's mother and stepfather keep sticking their noses in our business. I had thought when i married DH that his mom and stedad liked me. I had also thought that my DH and his mother were somewhat close. I would push us to get together with them at their home for dinners and such. His mother would sent me nice birthday cards and was always nice to my face.

SD19 moved out recently because she quit college and we were going to charge her rent. She is now living with her BF's mom and dad. She made sure to mention to DH that she would be stopping by on her birthday (hmm wonder why). So, she stopped by to see me on Friday night (DH was at work), I gave her a big hearty Happy Birthday and then followed up with "sorry I didn't get a chance to get you a gift but we were so busy over Thanksgiving", so she left to visit DH at his job. He told me later he did the same thing, I big hearty Happy Birthday, sorry no gift, too busy.

My SD's birthday is this Friday, if you have read my previous blogs you will see that she just up and moved out after she quit college and we asked her to start paying rent. She is now at your BF's parents house. She mentioned to DH on her way out that she will be stopping by on her birthday, of course, she wants some $$$. Every single year for my birthday, she does nothing but this past year (Oct) she said on my birthday "oh, I am going to get you something but i haven't gotten it yet", I laughed it off thinking yeah right, like all other years past.
