I wrote a blog a while back about whether or not I should attend a Rotary family visit at Uberskank's (BM). I was asked to attend because DH's kid was in the running to be a foreign exchange student her junior year (freshman now). See http://www.steptalk.org/node/45767.

I ended up not having to make a decision about this. Last week DH received a text from his kid. She said the director had called Uberskank (lie, they have been contacting the kids directly as part of the testing process) and rescheduled the meeting for the original date (lie). That if the Rotary wanted to meet with DH, they would schedule it for another time (lie). DH's kid also said she would be staying back at home to "prep" for this meeting (lie, this was a blind visit so there was nothing to prepare).

At any rate, none of this matters any longer. Yesterday, both Uberskank and his kid sent texts to DH while he was out of town. They both told him the kid dropped out of the process. Big shock to me. NOT! Both Uberskank and DH's kid have a saying "When the going gets tough, QUIT!". I'm just impressed it took her this long to chicken out. This was the first time since I've known her to see something new and different through to the end. Well, not actually then end since she dropped out.

Regardless of what Uberskank and DH's kid believe, we are not stupid people and figured out what happened. Uberskank wasn't expecting either one of us to accept the invitation to be a part of that meeting. So she panicked and A) The meeting wasn't rescheduled but had DH's kid send him the text to say it was so DH wouldn't show up. Or Uberskank called the director and rescheduled the visit a day Uberskank knew DH would be out of town on business and couldn't attend. And then kept the kid back all weekend (she should have been with DH per the visitation schedule) to work her over. Had the meeting actually been rescheduled and she showed up at our house over the weekend, I doubt she would have dropped out. DH would have been pumping her up for it all weekend long.

Funny thing, because she had an ace in the hole. She unwittingly choose a country the Rotary hasn't been able to send anyone to in quite a few years. They were salivating over her choice. She had an excellent chance of being selected but I believe she dropped out because she was afraid of failing (thank you Uberskank for working her over).

Uberskank is a selfish, stupid bitch and DH's kid once again shot herself in the foot. DH is bummed and told his kid he would respect her decision but was disappointed and said she probably would have gone all of the way.

Next on the quitters menu.....college!
