I get along with my new stepdaughters really well. In fact, my DH says I get along with the older girl better than she does with her mom.
Okay, so awhile back I posted that the girls got kind of upset with us because we refused to take the younger girl's animals when she got in a tight spot - three large dogs and 3 cats. She only had two cats but picked up another stray when she knew that she would be moving within the month.
We moved her back up here to Arkansas (at our expense, even packed for her since she failed to) and she's living at her mom's with her animals.
Last week she comes to my DH wanting him to pay her car payment, since she hasn't bothered to look for a job since moving home and she blew thru her $47,000 inheritence from her grandma that was s'pose to make the car payments.
My DH told her we could not help her with the payment, but he did find buyers for some stuff she had to sell and she made her car payment. There will be a repeat of this particular scenario next month, trust me.
Now DH's older daughter is down here with her DH and their son and staying at the mom's house. Seems her DH lost his job - that paid twice what my DH makes - in N. Arkansas and their truck was repossessed. They did have another truck that my DH bought them when she was pregnant, but they kept it a month, sold it and pocketed the money. It wasn't fancy enough for them. Now the fancy truck they bought instead is gone. They are now looking for work here and traveling back up there for him to go on interviews already scheduled there.
She called my DH at work yesterday and asked to borrow a vehicle. She had a job interview here today and her DH had an interview in Little Rock. My DH told her no can do. The only vehicle we own that would be suitable for driving in heavy LR traffic is my jeep. He told her he would not ask me to loan my jeep. I wouldn't have a problem loaning it to them, but my insurance would not cover them driving. I have only eight months left to pay on my jeep and I don't intend for anything to happen to it.
So DD says nevermind, we're going to borrow mom's van. Younger sister can take mom anywhere she needs to go.
So this morning DD #1 calls and asks Dad for money for the trip. He looks at our finances and tells he will up the van with fuel and give the SIL $25 for drink money and such.
Right before my DH had to leave for work, DD #1 sends him a text and says nevermind, keep your money!
I am so mad at her right now. Why did she have to go and make my DH feel like a turd and right before he had to leave for his stressful job no less?!?!
DH sacrificed for those girls their whole growing up years. Working two, sometimes three jobs to support them and give them a good life while their mom refused to work at all!
We are absolutely covered up in doctor's bills. Both mine and his. I'm just so mad and then feel guilty for being mad.
