Hey! Read your post about your parents. So funny how similar we are. My parents have behaved very similarly to yours. They were not supportive @ all during all the IF crap and then once we started adoption" which we "should have went to in the first place" they also found crap about that to be critical of. they have shown us very little support. Ever. Critical and judgmental and very unable to keep their moronic statements to themselves. If I were you, I would tell them the decisions you guys have made, what you are doing, and then say, "but we don't care nor do we need your comments or opinions in the matter. If you can not be supportive or at the least non co Confrontational, then keep your mouths shut". then if they behave @ all you can slowly share or keep them in the dark as much as you want. Tell them that they are not and can not ruin this for you guys and nothing they think or say has any bearing on you. Maybe that seems harsh but we've has a hell of a time with my parents. And like yours, watching/ spending time with Noah is on their terms. And they live 5 houses down!

does your mom sneak behind your back and text your husband too???  it's so funny, both my brothers moved away, and I have felt the burden of being the only local for quite some time. Plus I'm the oldest, etc.  They're great grandparents to Ava when they want to be, and I hate to deprive either of them that experience, as it really is separate from them being douches.   I'm not really looking for their approval, I just don't need any more wrenches in our plans. Seriously? cuz the ride is hard enough. I don't need their heels in the mud as we drag them along~!

5 houses down?  yikes!
