I have had some difficult relationships in the past with my MIL, and confess, I was glad when she finally overstepped all decency, and I forbade her in my house ever again. <br />As to your place at the table... why do our men let us down so badly?Meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074676856646898900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301215723729061662.post-33762917916219705102010-04-07T08:32:37.759+10:002010-04-07T08:32:37.759+10:00Families can be difficult can't they?

On the front page it said that she was deeply mourned by her loving husband, son[my husband],daughter, and grandchildren. It was a low blow and I was crushed, since I was there for her every day. Of course my husband made haste to write my name in, but the damage was done.<br /><br />I read somewhere of a sign you can hang on your door. It says:<br /><br />"Friends Welcome, Family by Appointment Only." Good, no?mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797484583400519909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301215723729061662.post-31105119002403111172010-04-06T03:42:25.084+10:002010-04-06T03:42:25.084+10:00I echo Isabelle's comments.

Once you start doing that you make yourself vulnerable, and she clearly has no intention of doing that!Relatively Retiringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648407316162715318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301215723729061662.post-48436585509222523242010-04-06T01:55:09.759+10:002010-04-06T01:55:09.759+10:00Oh, you sound as if you're doing SO well. Even...Oh, you sound as if you're doing SO well. Even if also doing quite a lot of teeth-grinding. I can see that it must be very difficult if one's father remarries - not something I find it easy to imagine - but on the other hand, you'd think she'd be delighted to have him looked after. Poor you! I myself am all for civilised behaviour, no matter how one feels, and it sounds as if you're being exceedingly civilised, while she isn't. Won't you feel delighted, though, when they're gone and you know that you've behaved impeccably - or as near as any non-saint could be expected to!Pam https://www.blogger.com/profile/12641269043817163165noreply@blogger.com
