You know your not family when----
I think it was Jeff Foxworthy that coined the phrase " You know your a redneck if" This is my list of
"You know you're not considered family if"
Pictures of the holiday's that your husband is proudly showing do not include you because you were not invited.
The people in the pictures are unfamiliar faces. DH explains these are the sd's and children of his daughter's new husband. This one is the latest boyfriend of his other daughter, That one is the grandson of DH's that you took in for a year. Oh, that's right. You don't recognize him. He is a grown man now. And by the way, this is his girlfriend and their child. And that older matronly female, that's DH's ex that he divorced over 30 years ago.
The checks written out to "family" came from the joint account. That single miniscule gift DH returned with was obviously personally meant for him.
When all the family holiday photos are placed on Facebook by DH's children and DH's sister from out of stste comments "Nice family pictures, Where is the wife?" their reply is "she doesn't come, no great loss."
You are never contacted by the family members to be invited. The mystery of intent for you to be there or not is left as a mystery. Will DH show up with you? Would you like to spend the day hanging out with their mother and her family? Does the over night place to sleep that they offer their dad when he comes to visit become an uncomfortable situation of " NO ROOM AT THE INN " when you include yourself?
Well, I think it is obvious---You know your not family when----

As the years have past and
As the years have past and with all the baby daddies involved with this group it will be interesting to see how the next generation deals with these same situations. The same circumstances and problems will come up and in some cases have. Other people in their lives have the same ability to mistreat as they once did. Should be an interesting show to watch in the future.
what a dumb bitch. i wouldn't
what a dumb bitch. i wouldn't even hang it up. although on the flip side, i make one for myself every year, and you know who's not in it! }:) but i have also made a photo book for fmil, and i put her damned annoying face in that one because it was the right thing to do.
Do your DHs stand up for you
Do your DHs stand up for you to be included in these things? I know it's no great loss and that we as SMs can't waste a single moment taking any of it to heart or letting it affect us....but DHs should be demanding respect for us and teaching these rude, thoughtless people that they must treat us with respect.
Got to echo this ^^^ WHERE
Got to echo this ^^^
WHERE THE F*CK are your DH's when your skids are doing this?!!! :jawdrop:
Not invited to holidays and then badmouthed about it? Given "family" calendars and not included in them? Passive aggressive much?
Oh, right I forget DH is too busy bolting to the mancave at the first sniff of skids raising the battle axe at the SM to consider the protecting the vulnerable. Better the SM than daddykins eh? Sniveling weasel comes to mind. Sorry.
...every time you go to sit
...every time you go to sit down at a family gathering- everyone around you gets up and leaves within 60 seconds thus leaving you sitting alone.
...the most significant thing anyone says to you is "hi, how are you" and once they've done their obligatory duty of being polite to you they don't speak to you the rest of the day.
...when you are foolish enough to host the "family" gathering yourself-no one ever offers to help you clean up (except dh and your own children).
...no one ever offers to bring anything to these family gatherings that you host and see no problem with you buying and cooking and cleaning up after the lot of them.
