I love the passing of time

I hate that woman.

She’s my BIL’s ex-wife. They were divorced long before I knew DH. I’ve only met her a few times. But, I’ve heard so many lovely stories about her :rolleyes: And, when my BIL’s daughter (from a previous relationship) was living with us, she would interact with Ex-SIL (who lives only blocks from us) & their daughter from their marriage, often. And, niece would tell me all kinds of trashy things that ex-SIL did in their home.

Ex-SIL is a PAS queen. Even to this day, when BIL has all but given up, she still keeps it up. BIL hadn’t seen his daughter in years, lived 5 hours away & ex-SIL actually made a complaint to DCFS that he had sexually abused her. WTF?

Anyway, her younger daughter is in 1st grade at the same school that Shelby is in. Ex-SIL saw us one day in the first week of school & told us she was working in the cafeteria at the school & made it sound like she was doing so in order to stay close to her daughter while she was in school.

A few weeks ago, it was her older daughter’s birthday & she saw Jim at the school playground & took the opportunity to complain to him about the fact that his brother sent a card with a check in it to their daughter. I agree that that’s sucky parenting, but I think it’s pretty admirable when you consider that she will not allow him to have a relationship with her.

So, we have to see her around the school all of the time. She’s a hateful, spiteful bitch. I also have to know that some of the parents that I talk to in the playground have kids in the same class with her kids. Although, I’ve never seen her volunteering for any PTA things or at a meeting, so I don’t know that she’s really known to the more involved parents, except as being Abby’s mom.

And, this morning, as we kindergarten moms were talking outside the big classroom window, after the kids went in, ex-SIL went by & said “Oh, it’s the very special kindergarten kids”. And, she didn’t say it like ‘Yeah, I remember those days.’ She said it like a first grader calling kindergartener’s ‘babies’. She said it in a mean, immature, superior, teasing voice. We all ignored her.

I wish she would move to a different school district.
