I am sick of being the "bad guy" when it comes to dealing with my husband's daughters. They have never tried to support what their Father and I have created for them~i.e., a sense of family, and now I'm taking heat from the younger one (age 29) because the 33 yo daughter continues to be a self-righteous bitch towards her father and me for no reason whats-so-ever!
Am I close minded for wanting to just cut them out of my life once and for all? I even told my spouse that I won't lift a finger~EVER, for them or their families because they are such ingrates.
I am really hurt and tired of feeling used I guess and just wondered if anyone else can relate.
Thanks for listening!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Personally if I were in your shoes I'd tell the little ingrates "Fine, seeing as you're never bloody satisfied with what your father and I do for you, do it yourself if you think you can do a better job"
That kind of behaviour might be tolerated slightly more if they were small children but these 2 are adults!!!!
Yeah, they're selfish and disloyal their their father who, btw, is a prince of a man and not just because I'm married to him. Their mother is such a piece of psychological trash (MSW) who warps anything and everything she touches, but I guess she's still their dear, "MOMMY"
OH....I am still trying not to thing about these pathetic people and move on.
Besides...it's you home and if they can't behave and show respect then they don't have the right to come over as far as I'm concerned. I mean lets turn the tables here for a minute.....I bet ya if you did the same thing back to them they'd be screaming blue bloody murder (a saying my mom used to have).
If those 2 want to be respected then they have to earn it from their own actions first.
But there comes a time in a child's life where they have to let go of the ropes and do it on their own and it sounds like you and your husband are united on that front. It will be hard and the girls won't thank you for it right now, but they'll (hopefully) realise somewhere down the track that it was in everybody's interest to sever certain ties until these 2 can learn how their disrespect for others impacts on their own lives.
i had my oldest boy at 17yrs, than just kept going till i was 29....

(((((((((HUGS)))))))))
I hope you can learn from me and not invest yourself emotionally into people who will not return the favor. Like mel said, it's the "empty coffee-cup syndrome."
