The Return of Disney Daddy

He’s backkk. All week DH has been planning non-stop for all the special things he’s going to do with SD15 and the boys (SS9 and SS7) while his grandma is visiting next week.

SD15 is going to be flying back for a long weekend (he’s letting her miss school. I hate when parents do that) so she can be here when his grandma is visiting. It’s been over 8 months since SD15 has been here, but I won’t let her in my home until she apologizes so DH is bending over backwards trying to make plans that don’t involve anyone being in our home or SD15 being anywhere near me.

I swear, he puts only 1% of this effort into any sort of planning for our anniversary, my birthday or Valentine’s Day. And I have no idea where all this money is coming from.

He’s used to doing this sort of thing, since he usually only saw SD15 once a year in the summer for a week and planned a big vacation for them. I could deal with that back then, but not after how disrespectful she has been. She shouldn’t be getting any sort of rewards and I’m absolutely livid he won’t stand up for me.

Any time DH started talking about the planning, I’ve been walking out of the room or remembering I have laundry I have to do. He tried talking to me again this afternoon about it, so I immediately left to go do laundry and he went storming out and slammed the door (must be genetic and where SD15 gets it from).

Instead of addressing how disrespectful she was and all the problems we had last year, he’s planning on doing all sorts of fun trips and outtings with his kids and grandma so they can pretend there aren’t any problems and his daughter is a perfect angel.

He refuses to acknowledging what a hateful little bitch she is and he only wants his grandma to see his daughter as the honor roll student who was just named Student of the Month at her crappy high school who volunteers to help rescued horses. :sick:

SD15 hates his guts. She’s told him over and over again she wants him out of her life, and all he keeps doing is chasing after her. It’s pathetic. But he keeps going to insane lengths to try to win her over, including a trip to Disneyland and other tourist attractions in Los Angeles. And possibly they might go to the Grand Canyon, which his grandmother hasn’t seen.

What really bothers me is that DH doesn’t care how disrespectful SD15 was to me. If anyone else had treated me that way, I would expect my husband to stand up for me. But he won’t with her. He calls all of this a “personality conflict” between SD15 and me. He completely ignores her behavior and can’t understand why I’m so upset about it.

While Dad is out entertaining SD I would have spa appointments lined up, lunches out with friends, etc. Plan what you want to do and let him know how relaxing and great it is to be out of SD's drama.
