That’s so very sad about the children. I initially thought, ‘You teach people how to treat you.’ And I would have to teach the BIL and SIL that I’m not available at their beck and call.

The children do throw a monkey wrench into that plan. But it’s not up to you to raise their children and instill values. But they are children who need to be nurtured even though their parents are not… available.

Oy. That’s a hard one.

I took too long to make my point. If you poke around paragraphs 13-14, I was trying to get around to how good she is for my kids – and how learning to deal with her has helped me as a person. And that the relatives who try to keep us all away are just chicken!

I have MIL issues too, so I sympathize. I can’t help, but I can sympathize.

Well, it only took about TEN years, LOL. It didn’t start out that way at all. Thanks.

Oh, and we subvert them at every opportunity (the BIL). Those kids need some fun. ;-P

In case you don’t know, I’m going to tell you: You have the BEST attitude about in-laws I have ever heard of. You are so HEALTHY about it! I mean, really REALLY well-adjusted. So many married women could learn a thing or two from you.

And, that’s really sad about your BIL and SIL. Must be really hard being a kid in that house.
