My stupid SIL is in town and just found out that we are taking Gator to see Santa tomorrow. I was trying to avoid her finding out because she makes everything about her and is so dramatic, she ruins moments that are supposed to be fun for us with Gator.
Like Gator's birthday where she HAD to have all of the attention and brought the stupid kitten into the party venue. And then during cake time, had to be front and center, even when I asked nicely if she could move so our photographer could take pictures. Now I have all of these pictures from the party with THIS in the background because she had to be around Gator the WHOLE TIME:

She found out and called SO. He didn't pick up because he was busy, so then she started texting, hinting like crazy about getting together tomorrow morning because "I would love to see you guys." Ummm....first off you idiot, you are seeing SO and Gator later in the evening already. Second, she is constantly down and never makes an effort to see us or text us....now all of a sudden she would love to see us and it just so happens she wants to see us in the morning?! Yeah right. Just frucking say "hey I heard you guys were going tomorrow, can I come?". Everyone was invited but her, and I did that on purpose hoping she would find out when it was too late and by the time we got back I could pretend that she would have been welcome to come. Snarky, I know. But I wanted to enjoy the day with SO, my parents and IL's. I didn't want to have to listen to her say "Gatorrrrrr!" in a squeaky voice, and constantly be hovering over Gator....who likes to be left alone, and dragging her everywhere. And I don't want to take her in to see Santa and have her yelling "Gator! Gator! Gator!" over and over while the picture guy is trying to snap a picture. Ugh! She overwhelms me and Gator.....I can stay quiet for the most part but Gator starts to lose it.
Everyone please pray for my sanity, and my ability to control my frustrations and anger....and not strangle her.
And for additional shiits and giggles, check out the FFFC on TTGP. Lol!!!
Re: Sadsies
Just tell her you're having a special day for the grandparents only. It sucks to be mean, but you may have to get pretty blunt wil a person like that. Your SO definitely needs to shut her down.
And as for the b-day pictures ... one word: photoshop. Crop that beast out!
