This is copied and pasted from an e-mail I got from MIL today...
We had a 4-hour power failure yesterday morning so I cleaned 2 closets. Lots of stuff of Sean?s. When he comes this summer I hope to have him go through the stuff and decide what he wants to keep. But nostalgia ? his old hockey jacket. I did throw out the box of notes from girls in high school!!!! You DON?T want to read them. Oh, my goodness, very nearly porno!!!! I didn?t read many, but it would have made quite a book.
REALLY??? Is it really necessary to tell his pregnant wife this? So annoying!
Re: To all of you MIL venters out there...
LOL, yes the porno comment was so out of line. She does not have any sort of filter so I have endured many comments like this during our relationship. She is just ridiculous.
Poru- I am sure you are right, I guess I didn't really think about how gross it would have been for her to find them. I am sure she didn't mean to be as nasty as it came off.
I'm sure all of our precious little ones will never write pornographic notes in high school!!
I think there is a bit difference between someone not having a filter, and someone being intentionally hurtful. Sounds like she wasn't trying to be hurtful, just, like you said, no filter.
I would also want to get my hands on the notes and make fun of DH.
DMoney will be a kickass big sister
Why did she feel the need to read them? Ew!
Right, she "didn't read many". I would think after the first porno like sentence of the first note, I would have put them down.
Haha, I would have laughed! Clearly no filter as that was quite descriptive and could have been excluded, but you bet I would be teasing DH about them!
She probably thought you'd understand how she felt when she found them and meant no harm.
This totally. I would have wanted to read them so I could make fun of MH.
This lol. I would have asked her to scan and send them to me
I did this! He was so furious when he found out she did that!!! It is so funny that he is having such a strong reaction but I am sure he is just embarassed. I have been calling him "the pornographer" all night and loving it!
Exactly! Let's all vow that we won't read our LO's high school love notes!
