Punk, let's talk about your MIL
I have noticed you make a few comments over time about refusing to leave your kids with your MIL and you are clearly taking CoCo's situation far too personally. What is the deal?

Re: Punk, let's talk about your MIL
im pretty certain my MIL lurks here, but long story short is that she pretty much is not a part of our lives and we are 100% okay with that. it really has nothing to do with our kids, but more to do with dh and i. she purposely lies and tries to start drama between the 2 of us, but luckily
we trust each other and believe each other enough to know not to listen. it saddens me that if we were an unstable couple (or if dh only believed his mom), that she would actually have put a riff in someone's relationship.
she is the #1 undermine-er, she sees no reason why she shouldn't be allowed to take my kids around town (who btw have no idea who she is basically) on her own accord if she's here, she cancels trips bc she can't stay as long as she'd like, and she is a total asshoIe to/about my family - which is probably the most ridiculous thing on earth. she can't get over her divorce (prob about 7? years ago?) and still gets mad at dh for having a (wonderful) relationship with my FIL. she is a major guilt tripper and says things like "what would your dead gpa think about this" to dh - which is so odd to me.
and youre right - i seethed when i read coco's post. bc i know exactly what she feels like. when you dislike someone so much and they can't follow the simplest directions. and if you do mention it to them, they feel as if they have the "right" to do whatever the F they want to bc they are the grandparent... like try to take my 2 week old first born to her hotel for the night bc "i just want to help!" please.
