i just read your post, and i have to say..my christmas was EXACTLY the same..of course i appreciate everything the in laws do...they went waaaaay above and beyond with the gifts...but, i really just wanted to enjoy my boys..i know everybody else does too..but you know what? they are my children..
ugh..i had to hear..."its MY boys 1st christmas" "hows MY joey doing" "does joey love his grandma?" (yeah, she prefers joey, because ronnie cries for her most of the time...hope that favorites thing doesn't last)..
i was almost crying at the end of the night, because i felt like i hadn't seen joey in a week because he is the easy one so hes the one everybody played with all the time at my bro's and at the in laws. and at the end of christmas night he was so tired he was wailing..i was about to pick him up to take him in another room where it was quiet, and MIL swooped in and just took him, and said "oh no, you relax, i'll take care of him"....did you think i would like to take care of him? gee whiz..its my child, i can't bear to hear him screaming.?
anyways..i know we have talked about this before, that our MILs are the same in that way..
so i understand!!!
