My Fucking Dog! Jesus Kee-rist! Where do I begin? DW and I went to Colorado to attend Dragonfest ( a large, regional Pagan get-toether). Well, to save a bit, we came a few deays early. On Sunday, in-laws go to Colorado Springs to do some last minute shopping and to pick up, moo-to-be 25 year old daughter. She shows up looking like a complete slob, but I try to cut slack because I know this shit is "edgy" these days.
Now, Moo is preggo for the SECOND time, unmarried, and living in public housing. Nice. Moo's idea of loving mother behaviour is to issue her 18-month old daughter commands such as "Sit"" and "fetch", then tells us that she can get her to roll over, too. Nice. .
First thing out of skank moo's mouth is how some dog sniffed her and reference No. 1 to "I'm pregnant.". A bit on, another reference to pignancy, along with pulling her shirt down and tighter to show her 'baby bump'.
Monday night, DW, uncle, and I are talking on the back porch after DW and I helped in-law parents to pack for the trip, since they have a booth at said fest. Anyhow, someone slammed the door too loud and Skank Princess storms out and says that the next time someone slams the door and wakes her and her chyyyyld, she will kick in that person's ass.
On the way up, we endured near-constant reference to DW's niece as "my chyyyld" as if DW and I might want to claim credit or something. Once we reach the fest, Skank Princess does virtually nothing because (repeat after me) "she's PREGNANT". But she has enough energy to go out and dance at the various circles at night. Of course, there were several more of the baby bump (God, I HATE that term!) revealing incidents so that the whole fucking Dragonfest Community can know of her impending "happy event" (gag me!). They have this stupid "blessing of the bellies" shit for moos-to-be and I'm sure she showed up at that,too.
We got DW's niece a pretty little dress, shoes, socks, and hair ribbons for her Wiccaning (kinda like Baptism), and yeah, Moo brought her to the ritual in the dress and shoes, but with no ankle socks from the pack we got and her hair uncombed. I don't mind that we got her some clothes because she is generally well-behaved. Of course, MOO couldn't be bothered to dress up but instead showed up looking like a Punk/Goth skank.
My DW is very hurt that Skank Princess didn't even BOTHER to attend our handfasting and is still very hurt about it. I don't care one way or the other if the bitch showed, but I am pissed-off that she chose to hurt DW by not attending. Self-centered slut!
On the way home, DW, just trying to make some conversation with SP, asked her if she had got her items for new baby. Of course, SP has EVERYFUCKINGTHING, more than likely most of it paid for by my in-laws. Believe me, I was praising the Lord and Lady when grandpahrunts dropped the bitch and her daughter off.
Needless to say, I have told DW that to me her family does not exist. Sorry, DW but that is how I feel. I refuse to get in the middle of a trainwreck. Next year, we will attend D-fest minus in-laws, skank princess and offspring.
