writes: How can I get my husband's ex wife to stop butting in to our life? All of the kids are grown, but every time they come around all they want to do is talk about their mother. One time our stepdaughter called her from our phone. Apparently her husband and her had just had sex. She went into detail about her jeans sticking to her legs. Kathy was saying everything she was out loud. I told her I didn't want to hear this, but she thought it was funny. I thought it was disgusting. She let a loud indian yell at the other daughters wedding, turning all attention on her instead of the bride. Then had her son carry her down the aisle as Diane was walking down it after the ceremony. Again all eyes were on her instead of the bride. At our grandaughter's kindergarten graduation she let the same yell out as Tiffany was receiving her certificate. Again everyone turned to look at her instead of Tiffany getting her diploma. Her daughter stopped filming the event in shock and lost a moment forever. She sends messages through the kids everytime they come and I am tired of it. My husband has told them not to talk about her all the time, but it has done no good. I truly am not jealous, but fed up with this obvious atempt to infringe on our life. Please help!!!

Everyone has different ideas of what is socially acceptable. Things which seem totally outlandish to you may not be to her.
Politely explain the type of behaviour you find unnacceptable in your house, and give examples. Focus very much on how they make you feel, as she will only get defensive if you say she is wrong or bad.
She may appreciate you being so direct, or be angry with you. Either way you will hear less of her and you will know that you dealt with the situation with dignity, instead of stooping to her level.

Im glad your husband feels the same way as you, this makes things easier.Basically, from what you have said, this woman sounds like an attention seeking idiot. Other people will be able to see this as well. Have as little to do with her as possible and dont react to her behaviour in any way when you do see her.If the kids keep talking about her, dont act interested and just change the subject, i hope this helps a bit.The woman just sounds a fool!
