can I vent for a minute? (long)
So I was having some IL issues and just figured it was done and today would be better. Yeah...today it's freaking 10x worse!
I went to the zoo with SIL and her 2 boys and DS. We had a good time. We talked about this Friday (DH and his brother want to go see Iron Man and we were suppose to go with them. I don't have a sitter for DS so I wasn't going.)
Well she told me that BIL said his Nana was going to watch 1 of their DS2. I said oh. That was pretty much all that was said regarding it.
Well yesterday BIL talked to DH and BIL said "so SIL said Mrs.A.Butler said she will be watching DS2 for us on Friday." DH said he didn't know so he called me and asked because he just heard what I told him...that Nana was watching him. I told him that it was never once mentioned and I was never asked. So DH calls BIL and tells him that I was never asked. BIL said "uhm, ok" and just kind of left it. I mean if I would have been asked I would have said yes I just was never asked!!
Well I get on FB this morning, yeah SIL's status "Some people really piss me off. Guess I won't be going fri because I might say something I shouldn't."
Giving her the benefit of the doubt and thinking, maybe she's talking about something else, I called DH and he gets mad and I told him to ask his brother about it to make sure that she is talking about the movies before getting too mad.
Well he calls BIL, sure enough she is talking about the movies. BIL says that he still wants to go ahead with the plans. DH wanted to just call everything off, but agreed to go with BIL.
But seriously???!!! She makes up a lie, saying that she asked me to watch their ds2 and I said yes, when the only thing that was mentioned was their Nana was watching him!!!! And she has the nerve to get mad at ME!!??
I told DH I was going to comment on her telling her if she has something to say to me that she needs to say it to my face because I'm tired of dealing with this crap all the time. And I said that the only reason she posted it on there was because she knew I would see it. It was a cheap shot and I guess she doesn't have the balls to say something to me.
But he made me promise that I wouldn't this time and we would "let it go". I don't want to, but I will. But I told him next time I see something I'm not saying anything to him, and I'm just saying something to her, he said "ok".

I have to agree with your hubby. BUT, live and learn. KWIM?
((hugs))
This is why I'm glad we don't live close to family. We still have drama but it's exponentially less than if we lived near one another.
It probably is best to just let it go and not stoop to her level of taking it to FB. If you really want to get to her you call her up and confront her, that way she has no time to sit and ponder a response.
I like this idea.
LOL pixy!
and as for PP, I am going to let it go. The issue I have is that I have been dealing with this kind of drama since we have gotten married (heck maybe even before that!). And I always "let it go" and I'm tired of it. It always gets handled 3rd party.
I don't really want to start drama but I seriously feel like if she has something to say then she needs to say it to my face. That way we can actually DEAL with the issue!
As usual, Pixy says it best.
