I love that they are into Straight No Chaser, inthekitty! Yep! And The Piano Guys...but their shows are even more expensive. 🤪 They have a good wide range interest in music--classic rock, modern pop, most of the 70s-90s. I just wish they loved big band more.

S loves the Catkid books. I think B has the cool bean one too I didn't know the catkid existed! Seems a bit tamer than dogman so far. Whatcha up to in DC? Anything fun? Are you visiting your ILs? We will be over in that area for J's shot in the morning- we may all go bc we are so excited and I have FOMO if mh takes him solo. Visiting iL but staying in DC to try to make it more of a vacation. We’ve done the zoo and some of the museums so far.. I was surprised at how safe I felt everywhere Where is your appt? We’re staying by the Mall. Not sure what our plans are this morning but then we are heading to the grandparents for dinner tonight. Anything in this area you’d recommend for the morning?

Ok, MIL (FORMER mil actually!) story. So Thursday was G's birthday. So I ask if he wants me to bring over dinner and we can celebrate with the kids. He says yes and gives me a time. I go to a nice market place and get salmon, twice baked potatoes, a Tuscan pasta salad, roasted veggies and a couple of delicious desserts. So I go over and notice his parents car (ugh). Go in and they're all sitting at the table....eating dinner that his parents brought (they knew I was bringing dinner). Why G didn't think to text me and let me know, I don't know 😡. His mom's giving me a super smug look. So I quietly put my dinner in the fridge. C comes over and sees the desserts and candles and I tell him we can sing happy birthday to dad when he's ready. C tells me they already did that and I look up and MIL is just smiling at me. The kids give G his gift (smokeless fire pit) and I hear her say to FIL that I bought it with G's money since he has to pay me child/spousal support. Then they left and didn't even say bye to me. I ended up leaving starving cause again, I had no dinner, and came home and ate stale cereal. Can't wait to see them at C's party today!

I’m glad that’s finally over for you wineallthetime. Your xh deserves the TP for not texting you that his parents came over. It’s like he subjected you to that on purpose. inthekitty I’m glad you’re ok and see the error of your ways. I hope you never have an allergic reaction like that again.

Sorry the therapist didn’t work out nam2013. I hope the new one has a cancellation so you can get in sooner. joelies I’m glad you are going to see your mom. If all else fails you can Uber to her house from the airport.

wineallthetime I’m just so angry on your behalf! Here you are trying to make the best out of a crappy situation, being wonderful parents, and they are just making it worse. Why in the world would someone do that to (both of) you?!

[mention]wineallthetime [/mention] you are amazing for keeping calm the whole time. Does your former ILs realize this is all G’s fault? You are a saint at this point.

wineallthetime omg. Her level of cuntness is almost comical. Like she really tries hard to secure a place herself in hell despite trying to pretend she's such a wonderful Christian. You are a saint to make efforts to be such a good co-parent for the sake of the kids. They will eventually all be old enough to see the manipulative games she plays and it will be her own fault when her grandchildren can't stand her.

Missed this - our appt was over in Northwest. Downtown sounds fun! I haven't been downtown in forever, so I'm probably useless for recs right now. The building museum usually has cool stuff, or it's a pretty day if you wanted to go to Roosevelt's island. The arb may be pretty with peak foliage too. Enjoy!

We ended up doing Lincoln memorial and MLK , and walked everywhere so we saw a bunch on the way like Black Lives Matter plaza etc. we leave tomorrow so that’s it anyway!

Wow wineallthetime! I’m actually more upset at your exH for allowing this shit. I probably would have the dinner out of the fridge and brought it home.

Same - I would have been pretty upset about that. He should have been apologetic if he had okayed them bringing food. And then I would have said something came up with an excuse that the kids would buy and peaced right out of there.
