who wants to vent about ILs with me?

I hate them right now and I'm considering never letting them see LO. I'm seriously hoping its just hormones because I feel like a terrible person. They aren't nice people though. They've done nothing but cause hell every way they can.

I mentioned something to SO's mom about how my parents don't want LO in the public school system and she said her opinion and dislikes about the public school system. All good and dandy. I have no problems with people's personal opinions.

Then she went on to say how my SO did terrible in high school because it was so crowded and there was just so many people and how he always hated crowds since he was baby and how he did better when he switched to the other school.

That whole run on sentence makes me livid. For one, both were public schools in the same unified district. The "big" school wasn't that big at all and the other school wasn't much smaller. He also doesn't have any issues with crowds. SO was forced to switch schools because he had such poor grades. Why did he have terrible grades? Because his parents repeatedly told him he would never graduate high school because his brother didn't. So he just never tried. They never brought up his bad grades or got mad at him for it. Just constantly told him he was never going to graduate anyways. His brother did actually graduate, just a semester late. SO and I started dating in high school a few months before he was forced to switch schools. I was the first person to ever tell him he could graduate if he wanted to. He started trying in school again to see if he even could and worked his butt off his senior year to make up all the credits he was missing and graduate on time.

I really wanted to yell at her but it would be pointless because she was a blithering drunk then and doesn't remember a lot of stuff because of it. They're still drunks. ugh.

    do we have the same il's? Lol i've heard basically the EXACT same story from my mil. DH switched over to the charter school (in our district) in middle school, and then continued into the "alternative" high school, which has like a completely different curriculum base. idk. it was known as "the weird kid school" to everyone who didn't go there hah. But MIL keeps trying to tell me how horrific the public school system is and how all the school funding money should go to charter schools blah blah blah. Thats fine for her to think, MY babies will probably be enrolled in public school TYVM.

    The school SO went to is an adult continuation school thats a part of our school district. You can go there before you graduate if you have significantly poor grades and mostlikely wont graduate on time. They have different classes and a different cirriculum and credit recovery classes. You cant just choose to go there.

    I wont be taking her opinion into consideration when choosing my kids school because I know she wasnt even slighty involved in her kids school nor did she care about how they did in school. There's not many things I will seriously ask her opinion on.

    Oh dear. My in-laws let their son (he's an only child) drop out of high school because they just wanted him to be happy. They bought him cigarettes, let him take the car at 13, oh you wouldnt believe. Thank the dear Lord I came into his life :) I like to tell myself that anyway. He is doing amazing now, you wouldnt believe. Sometimes I tell him if it werent for me, he'd be in jail. That's awful, I know. Our second is a boy and I asked him the other day if he planned on raising him the way he was raised and he said "HELL NO!". Phew.
