Remember the family infiltrator? If I were less lazy, I'd add a link to the post from a few months ago. It's easier for me just to rehash the story. S's cousin in NJ was married with two kids until 1.5 years ago, they divorced, and he started dating a new woman. He took new woman and one of his kids on a cruise that was paid by a friend back in August, and they all stopped in Seattle. My impressions were the following: new woman was very attracted to this guy's family money based on how she talked, she totally wants to get married to him (never been married at almost 40), and she's completely obnoxious (maybe part of it is the NJ thang, but most of it is just her).
She FB friended us all immediately. She and he have an interesting, tumultuous relationship as observed through FB. In October she put on a major birthday party for him. She sent out elegant invitations (think wedding invitation quality) to this bash she put on, and we received an invite. There was some family drama because girlfriend wanted cousin's mother to pay for the party. Cousin's mother (S's aunt) said you were the one who did this all on your own, it's your thing. Of course we didn't go because it was in NJ.
Family sentiment from the older women in the family is that she is doing anything she can to get into the family. I kinda agree. All of the older women in the family think the girlfriend is going to try to get pregnant to trap the cousin into marriage. I don't quite share that thinking, but then again I wasn't born in 1935. I don't think she'll go THAT far.
Girlfriend is almost 40, never been married, and lives with her mother. She doesn't work. Not really sure what she does all day other than do her Kate Gosselin hair (pre-extensions) and paint her nails. That sentiment also comes from the older women in the family although I add the Kate Gosselin hairdo in there.
Today we got a Christmas card from Girlfriend; had we not been friends through FB I probably wouldn't have even recognized her name on the return address. We're on her Christmas card list after one dinner at a chain restaurant... lovely. Guess how it was inscribed? Love, Girlfriend, Cousin, Kid 1, Kid 2.
WTH? Talk about taking liberties. Especially considering all the family drama. So you're dating a guy who just got out of a divorce, and he has two kids, and within a year you're pasting your name, his name, and his two kids' names all over Christmas cards as if you're married to him? You're not even engaged to him! You're not even living with him. You're living with your MOM and you're almost 40!
(No offense to anyone who is almost 40 and living with their mom, but if you're sitting around all day and mooching off your parents at that age...shame on you)
It is desperate and pathetic. It's women like this who give the rest of us a bad reputation as money grubbing arm candy who just want to stay home all day and eat Bon Bons.
Ugh. And the worst part of it is that I hate having the same opinion as the older women in S's family!!!!
