The SD's 16 and 18 came over yesterday. I came home from work and DH was on the phone with SD18.SD 16 has a drivers license and SD18 doesn't, so SD16 drives them over for visits. DH was asking what they wanted for dinner. SD18 suggested chinese food and SD16 yelled accusatorily from the background "SD18, you know I hate chinese food!" Then SD18  suggested McDonalds and SD16 yelled again "You know I hate McDonalds!!"

Well, this went on for awhile and I felt bad for DH, having two daughters that are so spoiled. He asked when they were coming over and they acted like it was an inconvenience, telling him they would come over in an hour, and basically implying that everyone else could wait on dinner until they got there. Turns out, they couldn't get here any sooner because they were in the middle of a game of Minecraft. Yes. Minecraft. Meanwhile I am hungry, so I start making some veggie stir fry for myself and DH. 

The bickering duo went round and round while DH sighed on the phone. Then he said "Why don't I pick up McDonalds for you and Wendy's for your sister. They agreed. He hung up with them and I asked why they couldn't just pick up their own food on the way over, instead of him having to go out and get it? He said "They have no money."  So, I'll bet now he wishes that he encouraged them to get jobs and maybe had them do chores for allowance, because he is stll stuck catering to them, literally. OMFG. I just can't. Why does he allow them to run the show?  

Sorry, I just had to rant. Now I am going to go unplug their laptop and re-plug in my coffee machine, so I can have coffee. It took me a minute in my sleep addled state to figure out why the light on the coffee machine was off. LOL.

I never wait on those two. They say they will be there in an hour, and they roll in 2 hours later, bickering over who gets to walk through the door first. I started my dinner as soon as I heard them on the phone, being useless. DH asked if I wanted anything from the restaurants, and I said no. He knows it annoys me, and I get hangry so he doesn't argue. LOL. 

I dont think he knows what to do now, short of giving them his credit card number, which I warned him not to do. He doesn't think ahead so he never has cash. Of course, he would NEVER ask them do chores at our house. So, I disengage and let those three worry about their own problems.

If he chooses to cater to them, there's not much you can do except let him experience the inconvenience.  Any chance they will go away to college? Enlist?  Climb on a UFO?   Lol.

Any UFO that abducts these two must be the idiots of the known universe. #NORETURNS/EXCHANGES! HAHAHA. SD 16 might go to college to prove she is smarter than her siblings. SD18 will likely end up living in a van down by river with 15 stray cats. The oldest one is heading for rehab.

but...."YOU KNOW I HATE CHEAP PIZZA!!!"  screams SD16. Yes, they eat a lot of cheap pizza on Fridays when both DH and I work. We make nice dinners on the weekends only.

Darlin', I didn't mean you and DH eat cheap pizza!

Fingers crossed that the day (quickly) comes when he says, "This is what we're having for dinner. If you don't like/want it, we have PBJ fixings or you can pick up something on your way here."

They are too good for PB&J, although I eat it twice a week for lunch at work when I am too busy to make a decent lunch. I saw SD16 make Kraft mac and cheese for lunch, and then eat homemade mac and cheese for dinner. She knew we were making homemade mac and cheese for dinner,but she said there was "nothing in the house to eat." We just went grocery shopping. Her tastes are so limited, its hard for her to find things she likes. Her sister HATES peanut butter, but will dry bread all day. Ew. Whatever. They can eat what I eat or starve.

He could have ordered the food (and paid for it) and had them pick it up. Nowadays most fast food places let you do this they their apps. All I know is my DH may not run out to get SD what she wants but he pulled crap last night that pissed me off. Basically he had told me not to worry about her for dinner. That if she needed to, she could pick something up on her way here after she was done with work. So what did I do? I planned a dinner for just him and I. Well SD got done with work early and probably texted him to tell him and ask what was for dinner so he comes down and tells me he didn't feel like what I had planned. Long story short because princess wanted to eat here he got take out from a restaurant she likes because god forbid we eat one thing and she stopped and got something!

That is so incredibly insulting and inconsiderate! Did you ask him what you'd done to be treated like the unpaid hired help?

 

(As he walks in after getting take out) "DH, here is what I lovingly prepared for your dinner. Now, do you want to eat it or wear it?"

Clear, to the point, and puts the honus of outcome firmly on his shoulders.

Of course, there is nothing prepared for the harpy spawn.

I watched Husband cater and coddle SD23 Feral Forger for way to long. She was a pescatarian the entire time I was living there with her. And every single time he would tell her dinner is ready she obnoxiously ask "is there meat in this?"

She ate eggs too. But it drove me batty. The ONE time I had her make a meal for us (it had chicken in it) she refused to prepare the meat part of the dish. And was snotty.

Guess who now eats out at KFC? Guess who eats meat now there is no one catering to her food needs?

her DL, if I were SD-16, SD-18 would never get to choose what is for dinner.

Second, they can pick up their own dinner on their way over. No one should wait on them to play video/computer games.

Your DH needs to grow some testicular fortitude.  If htey have no money to pick up their own dinner, DH needs to tell them to get some of their CS that he pays to their BM.

smh
