A Rant About Outlaws

2008 January 4

Last night, DH’s grandma phoned (this is the one who lives in the apartment down the hall from us) and demanded to speak to DH.  Once on the phone with him, she demanded to know why we were keeping them away from DSD. 

Ummm… WTF?  Who the heck is stopping them from walking down the effing hallway and visiting us??  We don’t go over there because they smoke and it makes both DH & myself sick.

So… she said some really nasty things on the phone, so DH hung up and went over there while I got DSD ready for bed.  And his grandfather (who is 71) tried to pick a FIST fight with him.  So DH walked out and came home.

Then his mother phoned and told him that HE had to go over and apologize.  Oh, and did I mention that while he was over there, they said a bunch of nasty things about me and my family?  Yeah… so did not fly with DH.   Anyways… his mom yelled at him for 2 HOURS on the phone.  Finally, he had to go to work so he hung up.

Then she called ME.  And told me that she believes that there is “a problem in the home” that has gotten DH all upset and it has nothing to do with his dumb-ass family.  Yeah…. And she told me that I needed to have a serious talk with DH and work out OUR problems!  WTF?  OUR PROBLEMS???!!!

Anyways.  DH told me to cancel DSD’s babysitter for today and send her over to his Grandparent’s place while I am at work.  (I’ve already paid the babysitter today… and I’m not about to ask for it back, since I canceled 10 min. before DSD was supposed to come over)

So… on my way to work I take DSD over to their apartment.  She runs ahead of me and opens the door and walks in.  When DH’s grandpa sees me, he says, “WHAT DO YOU WANT??!” at me.  What did I say?  Oh, I stayed calm.  I just said (very calmly) “pardon me?”  and he walked away!!  WTF.  So DSD went in, I closed the door and walked away.

DH heard it, and called over there and told them that after today, we didn’t want to be included in family activities and that they would no longer be seeing or speaking to any of us (DH, DSD, or me). 

FRICK.  Talk about outlaws.  Can’t wait to hear what his parents have to say about this!!

    no one should have to deal with that crap and I say “Kudos” to taking yourself out of the situation and taking the high road- esp in front of DSD. Lord only knows what they say to her about you.

    I wouldn’t be picking up the phone from any number that might be remotely associated with his family. Let him tell them what happened.

    i hope you feel better about all of this soon and its just a bad memory
