WDYT?

**O-Face**

New man and MIL have been dating a year.  They actually plan a get away to a local small town on a Sunday night and are spending the night.

That's not the WDYT part.

Apparently man bought MIL a ring (NOT AN ENGAGEMENT RING! -per new man), and showed it to SIL (older one) who promptly told all the other sibs about it.

Ring is:

Diamond in center (MIL's birth stone), SIL (13y.o.) birthstone on one side and his daughter's birthstone on the other.

WDYT?

*holding breath*

I think that is one ducked up mother's ring.

Sounds like a joining of the family type ring.  Why else would he have both girls' stones on it?

I hope it's engraved with "NOT AN ENGAGEMENT RING," because I can see how that might be confusing.

"Here's a ring to symbolize the uniting of our two families, without, you know, actually uniting them"

SIL was all "good luck on getting your birthstone on the ring next time" to H.

What does MIL think of her new jewellery?

**O-Face**

We won't know until today.  I am assuming she'll LOOOVE it.

But then again, she does love a piggy bank.

Interesting..... why just choose 2 kids birthstones?

Does he have more children as well?

A step-mother promise ring? 

There should be a warning sign posted at the jewelry store, something like "Do not purchase a ring unless the recepient is or will soon be your spouse.  It's just confusing otherwise, yo."

zsa, don't we all wish.  :-/
