DH just asked me if I'd like to go for a hike with he and SD27

What I thought in my head was "I would rather stay home and pull my nails off of their nail beds one by one" but what I replied instead was, "I think I'm going to hang back but you two go enjoy it!"

Thoughts, emotions and prayers appreciated as I navigate this week.

Morning Mia, I just started listening to "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle on Audible. I love it and I get it!

Are they hiking in bear country?  Give them a spray bottle with fish oil in it and tell them it is bear spray.

Unknw

Those bears would need a strong stomach these sour puss skids 

If the bears made a meal (several meals) out of these skids over here .... they'd need mouthwash and several rounds of ozempic afterwards at the very least. 
 

Poor bears would have ptsd too

LOLOL..thanks for the Laugh which I needed on this first day back from a long weekend. I dont blame you in that there has to be a list of hundreds of things I would rather do that go on a famiily hike with my SD ( and her spawn too by extension) .IN the past if ,we would try to suggest something like that, it would get shut down for being "Boringgggg "even now.  So the idea hasnt crossed my mind in ages.  I was also thinking that a bear could also easily get a few meals out of my SD29 too. I couldnt see her lasting that long of a walk  being a chain smoker for years and not in the best shape anyhow..not good enough to outrun that said hungry bear. I'd also take more pity on the bear and side with that poor animal as well. LOL

was not pleased that my feathers are not ruffled by her antics.  She and DH stayed out ALL DAY returning home shortly after sunset.

I  throughly enjoyed the time for myself to do my own thing. When they returned I was relaxing in the spa. Dh came out and spent some time with me in the spa and then we went inside to watch TV. SDiabla sullenly sat by herself on her computer in the adjacent room.

It’s so funny to see SD self-implode when she finally starts to realize that I left the fight. It usually takes a few days to dawn on SD that her manipulations are receiving no reaction or energy. Her manipulations are fizzling out into nothingness. She is mad as a hornet.

DH and I said goodnight to her and with that she stormed off to the guest room in a huff.

Goodnight diabla, (don't spread your bedbugs.)

DH said he didn't understand what is going on with her. I said, "Who the hell knows?" to which Dh agreed, "Yeah, who the hell knows?"

awww Daddy's special date daughter is crashing and burning in her attempt to make herself feel superior. Too bad, so sad.

If SD Can't cause you to be upset she lost.  SD doesn't realize you can have fun with out her and DH.  That time with our her, and her controlling ways is enjoyable.  That you actually look forward to going to a spa by yourself being pampered is good in your book.  Her all day hike made her tired, dirty,  your spa day made you relaxed and toned up.

She loves to be unhappy. It would probably interfere with her true behavior and actions to be stable.

Meanwhile, I feel just fine.

that people were confused as to the nature of the relationship between he and SD27. DH and SDiabla stopped at a restaurant for lunch. SD likes to assertively dominate the conversation and she pushes DH around like SHE is the authority. I'm sure people thought big old hulk SDiabla is the wife rather than just the mini-wife. Lol

OSDiabla27 is trying to help YSDiabla25 land her first "career job." (YSD graduated from college 2 years ago.) OSD writes YSD's resume and job search related correspondence for her.

YSD landed a job interview with a company that she admires. DH told me that YSD felt that the woman who runs the company and who interviewed her is "too scattered."

Lol!!! YSD thinks she knows better and has her own sh*t together better than a successful business woman? This is a girl-woman that can't keep the same job for longer than 2 weeks. No wonder nobody wants to hire her. I guess employers can sniff out that you can put perfume on a pig but it still smells like a pig. 

I am sure she bombed the interview and instead of taking responsiblity for her own significant failures and short-comings she projects them onto others.

Time for YSDiabla to volunteer at a notable support organization for young women.  Two things, it builds her resume and she may just learn something that is marketable for an actual income.  If she keeps her head out of her own ass while doing that, they may hire her into a paying. albeit not paying much, job.

Obviously OSDiabla sucks as a job consultant for YSDiabla.  2yrs post undergraduation and no real job?  These two are worthless.  Though I might give a slight break for the whole pandemic and trashed economy situation.

On the job front as far as she financially supports herself which is really all I care about. She has been taking extended travel time but she is also staying within her means so that is fine by me. 
YSD on the other hand lacks maturity in any capacity. Since college graduation she mostly mooches off of BM.

You’ve written:

At the risk of sounding like a bigot with a ‘weight bias’, I’ve noted, throughout my long life, that obese women are far more likely to invite prejudice and scorn than those with normal physiques. Obesity might well be at the root of your SD’s unhappiness and malice.

I’ve commented before and will again, that parents who allow their offspring to become heavy are guilty of one of the worst forms of child abuse.  After all, parents have complete control, during their children’s early years, of what that child eats. Permitting overweight condemns the child to life-long social and health problems as well as loss of self-esteem. Was your SD always overweight? Did her parents make any effort to curb her over-eating and offer healthy meals?

She is only slightly overweight. She is a dominating presence no matter her size but as far as physical size, she is just big all over, broad shoulders, average height, stocky, big thunder thighs type build. She likes to stomp around which makes her sound like the giant that bellows Heeve High Ho! Fe Fi Fo Fum

Heavy adults own their heaviness.  I am one of them.  My girth is not my parent's fault. Other than somewhat genetically speaking.

T-1 diabetes is a genetic autoimmune disease.  Though it looks like I am the first, and hopefully the last in the family to have it.  It is one reason why DW and I did not spawn together.

OT but my ex Disneyland dads kids were obese (as was he but while he slimmed down he let his kids physical health go by the wayside) ....

When he did decide to do something about his kids physical condition he would only hassle his daughter and tell her she needed to lose weight  

In my mind I'm thinking "Um guilting her is not the way to go how about you stop letting them forage for food like wild raccoons all day n night and help them with their nutrition and let them play outside ffs"....dude was over here raising snowflake couch potatoes with very limited nutrition options (aka nothing but junk food) then wondered why they were obese

Like you know the struggle you went through being morbidly obese, having to work very hard to get control, not being the size your doctor recommended until midlife so why pass down those same habits to those kids?!?

Right on, Lilly!

Your ex-partner is a classic example of failed parenthood. Protecting your child’s health is equally important in preparing them for adulthood as teaching them to be productive and respectful members of society. 

What kid wouldn’t prefer a diet of junk food as opposed to nourishing fruits and vegetables? A need to be the ‘preferred parent’ at the risk of compromising a child’s physical condition is both selfish and spineless. It’s more than probable that your exe's children are being teased at school, because of their weight. Teens, particularly girls, are bound to suffer a loss of self-confidence and self-esteem from feeling ‘other than’.
