DH has been away for 2 weeks and I have been working on the house getting ready to sell. I had a very peaceful time.

I am getting ready for the bombs to drop next week after DH goes to visit SD a few times. SD and her DH brought the sgkids over at halloween - they were the last kids i had and it was the last stop they made so I actually didn't even expect them to come at that time.

I did not run out and go crazy over the sgkids and hug them etc. I know this will be SD's next issue with me and I will be made out to be a monster again. Every interaction - no matter how small has be being the bad guy somehow.

Cannot wait until we move away, grrr.

I'll let you know if I hear about it. Wink

you are entitled to feel about people the way you want, just as they are. you are entitled to dislike certain people, just as they are.

as long as you are polite, sometimes that's as much as they get. i refuse to have a double standard.

if they don't like me, i get to not like them.

We use to live right beside of SS and his wife. I still remember before I didengaged I was outside and my USE to be GD was playing in her sandbox and she called me to come play with her.Dil was on the computer on her porch.So I just went right over to play with her.Dil was rude to me when i ask how she was doing.So I got the hint and kissed my EX GD and left. GD was crying for me not to leave (soooo sad) .Later I was told to stay out her yard and not to coming everytime GD called me to come over.Im like So you would like your 3 year old to play by herself? Out of 7 years of living bt them and the eggshells I walked on and if I ever did go over to borrow something DIL judt let me stand at her door .She would never invite me to come in. So we finally had enough and DH and I bought a beautiful place to build our house and we got the Hell out of there. Its been much better. I know we did what was right by leaving. This is just a sample of this shit I went thu when I lived by them. I could write a book. SOOOO glad im gone.

Well he didn't mention Halloween but he did say he would really like it if SD And I could make up and we ALL START being a family again. My house is in shambles due to packing and readying the house to sell and he wants to invite SD and her gang over for dinner this week. I didn't say anything. He didn't really ask just mentioned he would like to do that. Duh.

Tell him it's their turn to have the big dinners now, especially, since they aren't reliable. Tell him to arrange it. You can bet it won't happen and then they can be the reason he doesn't have that fantasy dinner and day.
