This is no surprise really. I was expecting it. She's not going to change overnight.
SD broke up with her boyfriend of a whole two weeks so she is again without a phone. (how she gets these boyfriends to give her phones or their phone...I don't know.) So she called DH yesterday and asked him for $500 because that's what AT&T is saying she needs to set up an account.
Obviously DH told her no, that's a ridiculous price to pay for phone service and she should keep shopping.
I know it's not nice to laugh, but it's all I can do at this point. $500?? Seriously? You can start a plan for less than $200. DH also offered her his old phone which is in great condition for free. All she would have to do is pay to set the service up. She refused. I guess she doesn't want a phone bad enough then and I guess we'll be selling DH's phone on ebay.
And of course DH is a horrible dad for saying no to her ridiculous requests for large sums of money.
Re: and two steps back...
Very true. This happened to me after my first stunt w cc's didnt go so well.
This is awesome, I love it.
I can already tell you her answer jpowell.
"You're my dad. You OWE ME!" And then she'd go into how we got this or that and how if we can afford to have a baby, we can afford to give her $$$.
It's not worth asking her those questions because it only feeds her drama and its. Her bpd doesn't allow her to reason like you or me.
Credit? She can't possibly have bad credit. No credit maybe, but not certainly bad credit. Even so, I still find it hard to believe with a basic phone, or a free one from her dad that it would cost her $500. I dunno. Never had that problem.
By the way...she has a phone. She text me today with her number. She probably used her saved car money. Oh well.
I don't even get upset about these things anymore. It's not worth even trying to reason with her. I just shake my head, laugh a little and move on...it's all I can do.
