I have the foot in mouth disease, and the forked tongue sheesh!! I'm toast!

I sometimes come off ultra harsh. I think my career has a lot to do with that...I was so sweet and kind before I entered the business world.

I've had to since try to readjust to being a SAHM. My husband did not like "business" me. He said I lacked a sense of humor, and I was overly uptight. Funny thing is I used to totally joke around with my clients and all my superiors. I just took the stress of the job out on my poor hubby.

I have the same problem in reverse. The stress of my hubbies job always ends up on my and the kids. Things have gotten better since he started going to the gym before he came home. I feel bad for him always seeing the worst parts of people and situations.

Well....I have not one but TWO psycho mother in laws, and my own darling mum passed away 5 years ago.

They are both alcoholics, and insane....literally! The one is my husbands step mom, and she only loves her own kids grandkids and makes it very obvious to all of us. I have just decided that my kids will not spend time with her alone. She can be verbally abusive and so I just don't allow it.

The other is my husbands mom. She says and does things when she is drunk that would curl your toes. She did some horrible things to one of Darrin's brothers a few years ago, when she was drunk, and he all but cut him and his family off from her permanently. However, he eventually did kind of forgive her, but pretty much hates her. She is so nervous about upsetting him in the slightest, that she goes overboard in her attention to his kids. All the rest of the grandkids are treated like second class citizens. It was a little easier to hide it from them when they were younger, but my son is 16 now, and I can't hide it anymore. He told me at Christmas, 'Why is grandma insane?'

It is really hard, because my kids don't want to go and see her anymore...and she gets really mad because she thinks we are keeping the kids from her, and it just goes around and around.....

So, I guess I have no answers, but just wanted you to know you are not alone! BIG HUGS!!! SORRY, I FEEL YOUR PAIN......

UGH!!!!!

Sheesh! I am the luckiest person in the universe! I just decided. My mother-in-law is 86 and the most loving and accepting woman I could ever dream to have in my life. Now, don't get me wrong... living with her was difficult at best, but she is delightful and I love her.

I know that many are not so blessed and I feel your pain... if you ever need a shoulder..... mine is nice and squishy!

K my Mother in law drives me crazy, but at least she doesn't drink. I can't even imagine hor crazy she would be if she did!!

ahahaahah

yup! WACKO!!!!

My in-laws have never been involved in our lives, which I thought was A-OKAY! My husband is a convert to the church (when he was 18), got kicked out of his house, went on his mission when he was 19. When we got married, the only person who showed up was his mom because my mom bought her plane ticket. It has been bliss!

And then, my MIL, who is a raging alcoholic, started have alcohol-induced seizures. We had to get her out of Park City and into our home to save her life. I know it was the right thing, but it is hard to fully accept someone into your life who hadn't been there for 7 or 8 years previously. So she moved in with us when my first (and only at this point) child was 4 months old. So here I am, a brand new mom trying to figure the whole thing out just in time for my stinking MIL to move in and stay for freaking 6 months! It was agony. She is a good house guest, but I just really like my space and my territory. She was raised in the church, but wanted nothing to do with it when she moved out of her home. She thought raising a family in Park City would shield them from it so she was super pissed when my husband joined. He didn't even know she had been a member until he got baptized. She would make snide comments about the church while living in our home, and I nearly broke her neck...of all the things to be rude and disrespectful about...especially when we graciously let you come live with us. She finally got her tongue under control after we had a talk with her.

Now when she comes over (she lives about 5 miles away), I sometimes have these slight anxiety attacks as I'm afraid she might not leave!! I absolutely HATE when she and my mom are around each other because it is so AWKWARD as they compete for Sage's affections. COME ON PEOPLE! SERIOUSLY!!

WOW...... that sucks......
