Help me find my eyebrows.
in Wedding Woes
DIL,
I already told (your husband) and he said it was fine but I had to tell you. Well, I Hope you don't mind but I took the kids out of school a little early today to spend some Quality Time with me. I picked today because I know they don't have Dance or Soccer so you won't be mad.I will have them home with homework done after dinner.I would have told you but you would have said no and its not Fair because they are my Pride and Joy. Oh I made you Apple Raisin Muffins for your breakfasts tomarrow.
LOVE,
MIL

Re: Help me find my eyebrows.
Are you aware that your husband took a sht in my ficus tree? I can only assume that you are behind this. You disgust me.
Sincerely,
SIL
But honestly, assuming she's not a sex-offender, I don't understand why the DIL wouldn't just let the kids hang out with their grandmother every so often so this wouldn't have to happen.

Holy hell!
The ficus is funny.
This really gets my blood boiling! Literally!!!
All that afternoon de-light
sure got her done right!
Now she's got my seed
growing up warp speed.
We find out next week what the gender is. We would like to have everyone over Friday night at 7 to celebrate the gender. Will it be fish tacos? Or juicy sausage on bun? Join us to find out. BYOB.

Maybe because she's so crazy and overbearing that she thinks this kind of thing is okay?

Because there are a bagrillion other reasons not to let people have unsupervised access to my child. Not least of which is such utter disrespect for me as her parent.

Because she's the kind of BSC tw@t that thinks kidnapping the grandkids from school is an OK thing to do. Probably a good reason for it.
That invite would make me vomit.
It's well-documented that my mom rates pretty high on the overbearing and annoying scale, but she'd have to do something REALLY bad for me to deprive my children of spending time with her.

You can check out the kid as long as your name is on the contact form at my school. I always check before I talk with someone on the phone or in person that's claiming to be stepdad, mom, gm.
I once got a call from a "dad" wanting to know if his kid attends our school. Me thinks you would know that info already.
[QUOTE]I'll be honest and say that if I had kids, I wouldn't leave them with the ILs outside my presence. They're not a physical danger, but MIL is emotionally abusive, and has passive-aggressive ways of trying to tear down people's self-esteem, and while I think I could counteract that and render her harmless if I'm there to do so, I think a kid would be vulnerable to that sort of thing when there's no authority figure there saying that MIL is the jerk in the situation. I've seen the effect that she has had on all of her kids, and I'll be damned if I'd let that happen to mine.

I could have written this.
The only reason I find it so entertaining is that you made it out ok.
I saw my grandparents almost daily growing up. Certainly there were things that my mother and grandmother didn't agree on, but it was mom's house, mom's rules/granny's house, granny's rules. I can't imagine my life without my grandparents, and I'm just sad for people who deny that for themselves or their kids.

[QUOTE]I think everyone has a different opinion of a 'proper amount of time to spend with the grandparents' is. I know if DH & I ever have kids this will be an issue. <strong>For me once every 4-6 weeks for an afternoon visit is good.</strong> Maybe a date night babysitting job once in a while.<strong> MIL has already stated that she expects to see any future grandkids multiple times a week.</strong> I can see her trying to pull a stunt like this. I only hope DH is stupid enough to OK it though.

#1- This. We see my IL's way.too.much IMO. I'd prefer once a month at the most.
#2-Oh hell no. She'd be seeing my kids once every couple months if she made demands like that.
