You are here

It"s floating around out there somewhere.

DH went to visit his adult daughters over the week end. The daughters and I do not have communication with each other and have not for years. I would not know their children if I passed them in the store. Some of his daughters children and even grandchildren I have never seen.

It does not stop me from occasionally finding some unique gift that I know would be of interest to them. When that happens I will show it to DH and he buys it. Nothing expensive.

I had suggested he just tell her it was something he found for her. I explained that she really would prefer it be from him.
When he returned home he said. " She really liked your gift. she called and left you a nice thank you on your voice mail." I picked up my cell phone as he was standing there. Looked through 2 weeks of recent calls and called voice mail. " honey, are you sure, nothing here"

I am sure she made the call. Must have misdialed and got someone else with the same name. Maybe voicemail did not pick up the message due to some problem with my phone. Maybe her incoming calls do not register on my phone.

Had same problem here! We have caller ID on every phone we own. SD claimed over and over how she called and begged us to come see her children numerous times in the past 3 years. All 4 of our different phones must have problems. They don't register phone calls from her. Just from the other people who call. }:)

Yes, my phone seems to be unable to accept "thank you" texts from SD23's phone for birthday gifts...

(Tacky way to say thank you even if she had really sent it!)

Sounds like the same BS my DH engages in when it has to do with princess brat. Always trying to find an excuse. Makes me sick! I'm tired of it. Unbelievable to Mis- dial and get someone with the same name. What nonsense.

My thoughs exactly. No wonder these rotten SD's are so entitled; there's always an excuse manufactured by mommy and daddy because their little angels can do no wrong!

Ha ha. Me too. Just yesterday Sd asked her kids to call to thank me also for Easter gifts dh dropped off. Of course it was at a time she's knew I wouldn't be home. Real thoughtful ya right. Edited to add it was actually tues. Not yesterday and no call back. Not sincere at all.

Oh that explains these mysterious phone calls I keep getting!

Please tell your step daughter I am not interested in a free cruise.
