Oh Sarah, I'm sorry I'm not the only one!

Can you believe it, we decided to take the very high moral ground and DP rang her a few days before Xmas Day to arrange seeing her on Xmas Day, at which she proceeded to describe all the things she had planned so she wouldn't have time. He then offered Xmas Eve and she said "We have plans." So, after the description we got of Xmas Day, I told DP I thought she was lying. We decided to drop the Xmas present to her from Lucy around Xmas Eve at 11am, when she supposedly wasn't going to be home.

Of course, we got there and she was home, still in her nightie, so obviously not in a hurry to go anywhere. She tears up the driveway after Anthony after he left the present and peers in the window (Lucy was asleep). We said we were late and had to be off. She didn't give us anything for Lucy. Got an sms Xmas Day saying how much she loved the present.

She smsed after Lucy and I got back from Qld a week later wanting to come and see her. Comes over a couple of nights later, nothing for Lucy and no mention of Xmas...

So, we've basically decided since she doesn't want to be included in special events, or if she is, does her best to cause trouble, we won't be inviting her to Lucy's first birthday in March. She has since emailed asking if she could give Lucy a quilt she has made and we've told her she can give it to her on her birthday. But we won't be inviting her to her birthday party, she'll just have to come when other people aren't here. Not that she knows that yet.

Can you believe it???! After all the fuss about what terrible people we were and she doesn't even get Lucy a Xmas present... She's still playing games, but we aren't buying into it.
