I had a very productive evening out shopping and finish up Christmas preparations. Got home at 10:30 and H already had the kids in bed and was asleep on the couch.
He did get his offer accepted today, he closes on the 30th. Good for him. Hope the inspection clears...
MIL called me all happy chipper at 4:00 wanted to know if I had picked up the kids. I said no today is H's day to pick them up. She said oh you must be going shopping! I said yes, I am. She said, I was going to ask you to go to dinner with us. I said, oh. She said, "Is there dinner at home for Dan and the kids?" I said, "No, it is Dan's turn to take care of that. I am sure he will eat with you." She said, "When does he pick the kids up we want to eat at 5:30". I said "I don't know when, since he is picking them up I have no idea." She said, "Oh, ok we will let him handle it."
2 guesses where Dan and kids ate tonight.
2 guesses where Dan is sleeping tonight, since i got home so late he didn't want to drive to Tom's...
Grrr........I am so tired of MIL lying to my face about how she is going to make Dan be responsible for his decisions. Meanwhile she is making sure he has dinner every night he has the kids, and fronting the entire $17K down payment on his new house. I don't even want to answer the phone when she calls I am sick of it. She has said not a word to me about Dan getting a house and yet she is paying for it....
I did okay with Dan tonight until he left. I heard noises a few minutes later and looked out he was shoveling the front sidewalk. I looked out and said, "What are you doing???"
H: You are supposed to clear the sidewalks within so many hours of a snow fall... (we have lived in the country with no sidewalks, and before that California, in fact we have NEVER had a sidewalk to shovel before so who knew?)
I don't know why but it pissed me off that he was trying to take care of us while also leaving us. So I got my coat and went out to take over. He already had the public sidewalk part done so I was going to do the walk from our door to the driveway. H said, "I wasn't going to do that part it is so loud and right by the kids' window". I said, "Why didn't you just say 'Bobbi you need to shovel the sidewalk?" H said, "I took care of it, it was no big deal."
I don't know why but that irritated me and I said, "YOU don't live here anymore! I can take care of it..." He looked hurt and walked back to his truck. I felt bad so I said, "But, thank you for doing it" and he nodded and left.......
Why do I feel like crap about it? He doesn't live here anymore. And I don't want him showing up shoveling the walk and putting the kids to bed and thinking he is citizen of the year. Grr
