OH (kind of) stood up to BM!

Storm76's picture

BM phoned last night to say that she had treated SS10 for headlice (after waiting a week as we spotted one just before he went home last weekend!) and could OH bring his clippers round to cut SS10's hair before the 2nd treatment in a week's time. OH however, annoyed her by not immediately agreeing - firstly he doesn't want to use his clippers on SS10 until all the head lice are gone (unsurprising, as he doesn't want them) and that as last time he spoke to SS10 he wanted to grow his hair longer he would talk to him himself before cutting his hair anyway!

Jealously and I'm just plain annoyed

So this wkd, we went to visit my SIL who lives a few hours from us. My DH loves her kids and we dont get to see them much. So we decided to go for the wkd with my two SS's. It was HORRIBLE!! SS8 & SS4 both threw fits of jealously when DH played with neice who is 3 and nephew who is 18 mos. They were riducolous. They've never acted like this before when we've gone for a visit. Than on the way home we stopped for dinner. And at dinner SS4 doesnt remember his parents being together, he thinks I was there when he was born, even though we tell him I wasnt.

Me verses the MIL

Hello all, i am married to a man who has a 4 1/2 year old son. My husband lived with his mother for the first two years of his sons life and the mother thinks she should be able to make all the decisions for this child who i will call T. Its been a battle from day one. The mil spoils T like theres no tomorrow and she thinks that my husband owes her because he lived with her for two years. T's mom sees him one day a week so she really is not involved much. The mil has been told to stop buying T. stuff but she wont listen and she sends home little things to rub it in our faces. T.

A good moment with BM

So both SD's have an important event coming up. I asked BM if she wanted me to bring the girls to her, so she could help them get ready. Telling her I would be more then willing but thought I would ask her first. She replied with, why don't we both help them, we are both moms.

So we will both be helping them get ready. I thought this was really sweet, and just wanted to share a good moment.

I just want to run screaming for the hills!!

I just wanted to pop by and give you all an update as to how I was doing. You all have given me many keystrokes of help and understanding into the female mind and I appreciate it. I wanted to first say THANK YOU!! Then I wanted to personally thank whomever suggested that if my SO at the time didn't have anything to hide then she wouldn't have accused me of going through her phone because I feel now you were spot on.

BM Broke her neck!!

In two places, after falling in the bathtub because she was drunker than a skunk and survies!!! Ack. We found out through a third party/friend who spoke to BM personally. People, she broke her neck over a month ago. All she told us was that she had to go for surgery in a larger centre and would be "laid up" for a couple of months. She didn't even tell her own kids in case they might tell us. Her surgery must of been a huge success because she's out running about already.

DH seems like an alien after spending weekend at MIL

It was FIL(big racist pig) birthday & DH went with skids to spend the weekend there. I will never step foot or communicate with them ever again.Of course, DH took skids shopping over the weekend & tried to tell me that it was extra gifts for FIL! I was happy that I was having alot of peace & quiet at home without them all.I really didnt want to hear about the weekend nor did I want to know what DH told MIL about our business. I took myself shopping over the weekend & made sure to eat out as well. It was nice that DH paid for it all! He complained - oh well!!!

I figured out something very important recently.

With my DH in the hospital I had a thought strike me. I will never again bitch about having to get up for work, make dinner, do piles of laundry, etc. Every day spent at our home with a healthy family I will thank the Lord. I've been taking things for granted. My happiness is just pure bliss, but at any moment it could be shattered. I need to remember this for the rest of my life, remember to hold my loved ones so very close to my heart. Of course I always have held my loved ones close to my heart, but this is a different thing to me.
