What is the best excuse DH ever made for his adult child?

Ok....so....what is the very best/worst excuse you've gotten from DH/SO to explain his ADULT child's bad behavior? I know there are some GREAT ones out there, and we can all use a laugh!

I'll go first:

When we first met, DH had to go and get SD(19 at the time) from BM's house because "she couldn't find her way to the house". WTF????? She GREW UP in his house, made quite a few trips back and forth over the years, and is too dingy to find her way home? Good Lord, I was thinking she was mentally handicapped or something! I really think it was his excuse to see BM--because at that time he was still her slave, too.

Wellllll, she has PMS. But, not once ounce of sympathy, compassion or understanding when I have it once a month.

I have to tell you that might be a real story. I am directionally challenged at night. If the sun isn't up, I have no idea what direction I'm driving. I was at a crystal party and had to drive home at night. I was lost on the same road for hours because I couldn't figure out the direction and didn't know what side downtown Orlando should be on if I wanted to go west...lol.

My x-husband's excuse for his daughter was that she behaved the was she did because of the trauma she was going through because her mother didn't want her because she looked like her father.

My current husband's daughters are not old enough yet, but he has been seeing what I've been talking about with teens when my girls were going through the stage his kids are in now when at the time, he didn't believe that all teen girls go through this stage. I told him then I couldn't wait to hear what he had to say when his kids did the same thing because they will... now I get to sit back and just smile.

When SD36 was 16 she didn't want to pick up her blankets or clothes up off of the floor. When I asked, she slammed the door in my face. She told DH I made her 'uncomfortable' in this house. It was easier to blame me instead of confronting his 'Princess'. And to my amazement she STILL used this excuse to cover her immature, rude behavior just before Christmas. It didn't work this time!

SS18 - wow, there are many!

Let's see - SS doesn't wash his own clothes, so DH does it. Hangs them up and folds them too. Said if he didn't, SS wouldn't have anything clean to wear.

That's my all time favorite with SS.. :jawdrop:

NOW...SD19...where do I begin??

From me, she has stolen clothing, Bath and Body Works stuff, expensive earrings, money, collectibles...and I'm told to excuse it because her 'mother does this stuff'.

I'm told to not let it tarnish how I think of her... :?

I'm also told that now that SD is living with Mommy, things are going to get worse due to her influence being more prominent.

And I'm supposed to be ready to 'forgive' a lot of things that may happen in the future... :?

I'm not supposed to look at SD like I'm judging her for her mother's actions...what DH does not TOTALLY realize is that my dislike of his daughter is due to HER own actions. Not her mother's. I used to like SD and really dislike BM..the more I've seen out of SD, I'm beginning to not even give BM a second thought.

BM is not the one stealing from me...SD is. So therefore my reaction to SD is clearly one I've come to have because of her BS.

The biggest thing from DH is - "Well...BM IS her mother..."

Bullshit.

DH says we should be more understanding about SD24 she may be the age of an adult but is not mentally ready to be an adult...

Sd26 and ssil didn't pay rent because they thought we were joking about that.
Ss21 needs a new car to drive half way across the country because his current car needs new tires and ss can't afford that.
Best of all ss19 just can't work ft while going to school like my three kids can because... Well he's just not like that.

ss19 has a wreck without insurance. ss blames sm for not putting insurance on the car (he lives with bm and I said NO)

to keep ss from getting in trouble, dh wants to pay for the wreck in cash.

DH says, "well, if he ever does it again, he's on his own"

wtf? the kid was told DONT DRIVE WITHOUT INSURANCE

w/e disney dad!
