Let's get ready to rumble !!!!!

Yesterday DH and I had a radio put in his truck.  So we dropped it off that way we could go ahead and still do some running around.
 

On our way to pick it up we were going to Target, so I suggested we take Lo to his moms house.  We picked up the truck, and went to his moms house.
 

This is where things went to hell.
 

We were all in his moms bedroom, I don't know why we seem to hang out there.  Anyway she starts talking to Dh about not spending time with them, blah blah blah (she's talking in spanish but i'm picking up bits and pieces).  DH goes on to say that he works 6 days a week ! And that we didn't go over there to hear that.  This broad has the nerve to say " Well you and Christina sure could take off on vacation to San Antonio " Oh please ! SA is not a vacation !!! I'm thinking to myself.  So DH brother was carrying Lo and I turned to him, said its time to go, before I saying something I shouldn't say. Then his sister says to me as i'm walking out " Yeah you better leave, before I say something I shouldn't say"  Little trick what?!?!?!  I tell you being a mother has straightened me up because I would have turned right back around and got rowdy with her.  I didn't.  Not with Lo in my arms.
 

So i'm sitting in my car and they bring it outside, DH is yelling at his mom, and sister.  I see them pointing at the car so I rolled down my window, ............................................ It is my fault that DH doesn't spend time with them.  The three years I have been there, it has been all my fault that he doesnt spend time with them.
 

 
THEN.  That little wench and her mother...... Called me a Biatch and a F'n Biatch ?--- and you can take out the A.
 

So I yelled back to his sister your the one with 3 kids my 2 different dads, By that time DH stepdad was hauling them back inside.


I caught myself almost opening the car door and rushing that little girl.  Ohhhhhh my blood is still boiling.
 

DH is so done with them.  He sent his sister a text message to consider him dead to her.  He reminded her of the support that we gave her when she needed to tell her parents she was knocked up again. 
 

I told Joe that is the last time I will EVER step foot in that house again.

 
Whoa that got long.  Coffee for everyone that finished that.
* Yikes * I don't know why that broke up like that, I typed it in email then copy and pasted. 

Re: Let's get ready to rumble !!!!!

  • wwwhooooaaa thats some drama! how crappy for you to have to deal with that ish! I'm sorry! I probably wouldn't have been as controlled as you were.

  • wow, christina.  that's just nuts.  i'm so thankful every day that my mother in law is so great.  i don't know what i'd do otherwise.
  • You're a better person than I... I may have lost it and got in their face. How inappropriate: 1) to say those things about you 2) AROUND you and 3) with Lo there! She may not have understood words, but the tension that came from it.

    I'm sorry, no one should ever have to go through something like that!! It's sad the family is like that. My aunt always said "Even if you don't like who the family member has brought home, hold your tongue, be cordial, be nice to their face. That's who your family member chose, that's who makes them happy. Just be happy they're happy"

    I'm sorry, that it a very upsetting situation that no one should be in. Good for you for keeping yourself together.

  • Wow that is awful! I'm so sorry!!!! Lo doesn't need to hear that crap either! Would they feel better if you moved in and mooched off them?
  • Wow thats crazy and I'm sorry your having to put up with this.
  • holy crap! that's awful. I'm sorry you have to put up with that, but good for you for not reacting! and for Joe for telling them off once and for all. Hopefully you really won't have to deal with them again.
  • I am so sorry that you have to deal with this. Do you think Joe will follow through with not seeing them?

    I wouldn't want Loela to be exposed to that, either. 

  • They're crazy!  Have they ever considered that maybe that's why you don't hang out there?

    Sorry you guys have to deal with that and good for you for holding your tongue.  Taking the high road is usually not fun but it's the right thing to do.  I'm so glad that at least you and Joe are on the same page and are standing as a united front.  Try not to take things personally.  You're a great person and they're just jealous that he moved on and up with you.

  • Wow! That is nuts! I'm glad your DH is cutting them off. They really need to chill.
  • Trifling mess. Thats crazy that they complain about visiting when you are there visiting. Glad you took the high roadcause i would have slapped a ho lol.
  • oh my!! That is nutso!! Im sorry you have to deal with that crap!
  • imageBRITTNESS83:
    oh my!! That is nutso!! Im sorry you have to deal with that crap!

    Thanks girls ! Oh yeah and I forgot to tell y'all she was motioning for me to get out of the car ha ha. All high school. 

  • wow. i really can't come up with any other words.

    there's no need for that kind of drama in anyone's life.

  • Wow...sometimes family can't understand that they add to the problems at hand. I'm so sorry that this happened, and thankfully Lo is still small enough where she doesn't understand it all. Totally uncalled for on their end...they'll definitely get what's coming to them.

  • That's awful!  I don't understand why they are such idiots.  I'm sorry you had to go through that, but it's their loss.  They're going to miss watching Lo grow up because they're too focused on petty BS.  Although I would've had a hard time keeping my mouth shut, I think it's best that you did.  That way they can look like the fools (which they are.) 
  • WOW. I agree with pp...that was completely unnecessary. I deal with my MIL complaining to Steve about never seeing us, but it is never so drama filled. I would have kissed my baby, hopped outta the car and knocked the biatches out. Then kissed my baby again for having to witness/be around this sh!t. I am sorry Christina. Hopefully they will realize what a$$holes they are when they don't see you anyore.
  • i can't even imagine what that would be like - how awful.  don't they know that they won't see Lo or Joe after behaving that way???

    TJ's brother complains SO much that we live in florida (less drama filled than this, by far though).  TJ finally said, "Dude, if you want to see me, stop making every trip so awful with the fighting and complaining.  you make it so that we don't even want to come."  its been better, though we still get it a bunch.

    they need serious help.

  • they're nuts.  You don't need toxic people in your life like that!
