I have really made a conscious effort to not dwell on the bad behaviors of D's SIL and let her poor treatment of me and my husband and children ruin my day. In fact, I texted her last week and said I was thinking of her and hoped she was doing well. {GASP! Say what?!} Well, of course she didn't reply. I talked to my real SIL (I am referring to Dave's sister..... I no longer refer to D's SIL as my SIL) and happened to mention that I texted D's SIL and never heard back. She told me that she heard from her, and she said her phone was broken & just got it fixed. So of course everyone wants to give D's SIL the benefit of the doubt. I said I'm sure she got my text, because the very next morning she texted my real SIL and told her about her phone being broken and finally got it fixed. I decided to give her one more chance, and I texted her today and told her I had texted her last week, and how D's sister told me her phone was broken and I was wondering how she was doing. And oh, BTW did they get the invitation to my son's birthday party which is this Saturday?
No reply. Of course. D's SIL is attached to her cell phone just like I am....kind of a lifeline. She is just proving that she is purposely avoiding me- even when I am being nice and thoughtful. And I know that her phone is now fixed, because she texted my SIL from it last week.
So if I ever talk to her or D's brother again, and they start this crap about how D's SIL feels like we have forgotten her, I will not hold back. I will tell her how we have made efforts to text her and even see her, and she avoids us like the plague now. So she doesn't get to have it both ways.
They have ignored my kids for so long now, that my son hasn't even bother to ask if his aunt and uncle are coming to his birthday party. I don't think he even cares, because they have been such a non-presence in his life for so long. Sad. So sad.
But instead of me getting all worked up and pissed off and hurt about D's SIL ignoring me, I find myself giggling at her immaturity. What the heck must be going thru her head that she thinks it's OK to treat people like this and then whine that we have forgotten her?!
Yep, I'm giggling. What a funny show she is putting on for everyone to see. Sad show, but funny. Especially since this time last year she was turning 50 and giving me grief because we missed her 50th birthday party. I'm giggling because she needs to grow up.
Oh well, I have better things to do like get ready for my son's birthday bash on Saturday. A Minecraft party, of course!
I thought that we agreed to forget about her and get on with our lives? Don't even blog about her because it seems that you are still upset about her treatment of your family and you and you have better ways to spend your time. Forget her and her treatment as you have plenty of other people in your life that contribute to your happiness. Mother's orders.
