I'm still laughing over DH's kid's hypocrisy!

Trip out of state with DH and his kid wasn't so bad. However, there was a moment of are you freaking kidding me for me the first day.

We were nearing the end of our trip and stopped for dinner in a town about 3 hours away from where we were heading last week. We all sit, order, go clean up and get back in time for our dinners being served.

Then DH's kid starts talking about her friend, who lives close to where she lives. Apparently Uberskank and this friend's father dated for a while and it didn't end well.

So DH's kid goes on and on about how badly this friend treated Uberskank. Uberskank would walk in and say hi, friend would ignore her. Uberskank would ask her a question, friend would ignore her. Friend would glare at Uberskank, sigh and roll her eyes when Uberskank said anything and would say mean and snotty things to Uberskank. DH's kid continued telling us how awful friend was to Uberskank and she doesn't hang out with her as often because of how horrible she was to Uberskank.

My jaw hit the table. Out of the corner of my eyes I see DH's shoulders go up to his ears. He knew I was going to be straightforward and honest. And oh boy was I!!

I looked DH's kid right in the eye and said "Kid, for Halloween do you want to be the Pot or the Kettle?" I called her a hypocrite. I asked her why it bothered her that friend treated Uberskank that way, but it was completely all right for her to treat me the EXACT SAME WAY. I told her neither she nor Uberskank (I said her mother, by the way) would get any of my sympathy on this and quite frankly after what they put me through, she got exactly what she deserved.

DH didn't say a freaking word the entire time (and his shoulders didn't go back down for about an hour). His kid's eyes got huge (more or less not realizing I figured her s**t out years ago) and said she was sorry she treated me that way.

Seriously?? I was stuck between wanting to wring her neck and laughing my ass off.

The rest of the dinner passed without any other confrontations, but she didn't bring this friend up to me or her dad again.

Glad you gave her a dose of reality, shame DH didnt jump in even with the odd word of support for you. PERFECT opportunity to demonstrate to skid that he is on YOUR side on this subject, and hopefully that would discourage her from pulling that BS again!

DH didn't say anything because he knew better than to say a freaking word to her about it.

DH let her treat me that way. He received custody shortly after we married and for 18 months her behavior was nonstop. DH didn't do a damn thing about it until after I sat him down and told him I was moving out and planning on filing for divorce.

(His explanation in a dopey voice) I thought if I ignored her behavior she would get tired of it and stop.

No you gigantic dumbass, all you did was give your kid a huge green light to treat me like crap for nearly two years.

It was only after the sit-down with DH that he finally started dealing with her words and actions. Six months later she was back with Uberskank because DH was imposing rules and making it difficult for her to continue her bad behavior against me.
