OSD is catching on

OSD always sends DH OSGS's T-ball schedule. This morning she sent out the family text of his schedule and actually included me in. I was shocked and showed DH and he just laughed and said I guess she's finally catching on.

Ever since I was told I wasn't invited to Christmas year before last DH has had very little contact with the Steps because he refuses to go if I'm not invited too. I guess OSD is finally catching on.

LOL The gifts and seeing DH. YSD will be the one to freak out if I come to anything. YSD was the one to decide I wasn't allowed at Christmas and bullies the rest of the steps to go along. But YSD also doesn't have kids and caught a rich husband so she doesn't worry about the presents and loves to be in charge. It will be interesting to watch.

Oh we won't be going to any games anytime soon! DH's birthday party (milestone birthday so I'm throwing him a party) is the end of April at our house and we'll see how they act at that first. My turf first to see how they act then I will thinking about maybe going to a game with him.

:jawdrop: :jawdrop: WHy are you inviting them?

I simply would've said, sorry I'm not allowed at Family events, this is my house I don't want them here, they can have their own party for DH a day later...

I thought about not inviting them but I know if I don't they will use it as justification not to invite me to stuff. This way their crappy behavior is all on them and they can't blame me for it!

Congratulations to you! Your dh has boundaries and has your back as well! I'm gobsmacked! I think I'll book that trip to see the Loch Ness monster now and, wait, is that Sasquatch rustling in the bushes! Oh, my what magical sightings this morning!

It only took 10 years and being banned from Christmas and making him go to parties alone with BM's family for him to wake up. Thankfully he hates going alone to stuff. Really that's the only reason he finally realized they were being crappy and stopped going to stuff.

I too had an OSD who wouldn't include me on texts...told DH that texts were "just for family". Unfortunately I don't think mine is smart enough to catch on, and she always has to have her way. No loss for me at all, but her father isn't going to be younger and healthy forever.

If more of our DH's stood up to their adult kids, then yes the skids might just smarten up

My OSD also doesn't include me on texts - my DH has stood up to her - but she continues to exclude. I guess she's making her point, her texts are for "family only" of which I'm not in her opinion, so it is what it is - but at least she knows DH does not support her views or actions, and that goes a long way to making me feel supported!

And, it works two ways

When she expects the next round of gifts for herself or her children - guess what - her FAMILY should buy them. And since DH isn't really working right now/I'm paying for pretty much everything, guess her family is going to let her down!
