Not to be Paranoid, but...

My other stepdaughter called today, my phone, and asked immediately to talk to her dad. Now we get along just great, so I thought that was a little weird, so her dad talked to her for a moment, and then gave the phone back to me. I said what's new, and she said:

T: Step-Spawn called me last night, she wants me to come visit her for her birthday (which is the same day as mine) since you guys are "going out" for your birthday and I'm not coming to visit. (snotty tone)

Me: Oh, really? That should be fun. (rolling my eyes)

T: Yeah, she wants me to come to church with them also, but I don't know...

Me: Tell them you don't want to go to church but you would still like to come visit.

T: yeah, I don't know. Well, gotta go, my friend is here.

So we said the usual goodbyes, and I said immediately to Jim:

Step-Spawn is trying to turn T against me!!!

J: Why do you care so much what the kids think about you?

Me: Cause I want them to like me!!!

So he calls T, and reminds her not to get sucked up into Step-Spawn's drama, and although Step-Spawn has issues with me, she is her own person and she needs to make her own decisions.
T, of course, says "I know, Dad, I will!"

Right...we'll see...

Paranoid? Maybe...

Give way to much thought about what everyone thinks about me? For sure...
