Baggage!

So this weekend brought up a lot of baggage. My second grandson made his debut and my ex wanted to meet him. Now I’m enough of a pushover that I let him stay on my couch overnight so he could visit with his new grandson because he has eye issues that prevent him from driving for the time being. But it once again reminded me why I divorced him and his fruitcake of a family.
My ex hasn’t seen his own daughter, my 12 year old in 4 months because “his back, his eyes, his leg”. In other words he is always complaining about something. I have health problems too, but I still have to take care of me and my girl.
My ex’s sister is a piece of work. She is passively agressive nice. She has perfected taking time to the point of being selfish, Now my mother-in-law was always running around just like all of us who are born and live in the tri-state area. My ex sis-in-law as a result became deliberately slow to “defy her mother”.
This weekend she was going to visit my daughter and pick up her brother, my ex, and take him home. Well, we talked to her at 10:30 am and she was getting ready. I dropped my ex off at H’s house at 3 pm to visit with his new grandson, expecting his sister to arrive around 4:30 to visit and pick him up. She didn’t arrive til 7:30!!
How ignorant! How Rude!!! New mother’s need their sleep and guests should not arrive after 5:00pm unless invited. My ex’s sis excuse was “I’m not rushing. I’m taking my time.” Really? You’re visiting someone who just had a baby and you expect them to accomodate you?
Thankfully my daughter stuck to her schedule and her aunt only had 45 mins. to visit.
But it once again reminded me how messed up my ex’s family is. They are all so selfish. In fact it made me feel sorry for my ex which is another trap I have to avoid. He accomplished the goal I had hoped for him which is he got to see his new grandson,
