vin - where did you originally know him from? If he is a friend of friends you should bloody tell them too so that they dont set him up with anyone else. You might expect it (a bit) of a young lad, but not of a 44 year old man!
STOP THE TOENAIL TALK
Bella - Can I date your husband pretty please? I've never met anyone else who watches JK.
Double - not 'spare' as such,not until SIL has a nasty trip down the stairs She was a bit mean to me at the party... Its a family thing and I know not everyone does it but since they've been little little (well about 2, are 5 now) I've bought the 'other child' a present too on the birthdays. That's because although we've always had big playplace type parties, they've usually had family affairs so, the other child would be sat there on their own while child whose b'day it was opens all presents. When their 2nd child arrived I also alwayts bought for that one too.
Probably not explaining too well, but it also keeps the non b'day 2 children from 'helping' the b'day child with their presents. Anyway, I thought niece's party was just family so I again bought presents (only tiny) for my child and the nephew too.
However, it was a party with lots of children so not necessary I suppose but I didn't know that. Anyway, when I told sil I'd got presents for her other child too she went off on one about 'why do that? He doesn't get upset when sister gets presents, he's not like that. I'm so lucky my children aren't jealous like that, you really shouldn't bother' etc. But all in nasty tone of voice. I just sort of said 'oh ok.'
So was it silly of me to buy the extra presents (I wouldn't ever buy my child a present if she was going to a school friends bday party, its only because these 3 are family)? Was it ungracious of her? And finally, why is she such a bitch??
