WIC, as a mil I have rules. I made them up myself. The main one is to treat my children, grandchildren and the spouses as I wanted to be treated. It is a simple concept. I doubt that I accomplish it ALL the time but I sure do try.![]()
If you love your grandkids you have to think about what is best for them. Period, end of story. I have even kept my mouth shut when I might should not have for the sake of the kids (close to child abuse).![]()
It sounds as if your mil is just a very flawed person in all aspects of her life and not just with dil's.![]()
I cannot understand those who take care of their grandkids and then complain about it. Some might be fishing for 'thank you's". Others just enjoy being martyrs.![]()
I always remember that my grandchildren are NOT my children and they live by their parent's rules and not mine and believe you me, that is a hard one for me. Education is king with me and sports is for their dad.![]()
It is a shame that some folks have to be told off forcefully in order to behave nicely. If some folks were told, strongly, often enough the same thing by many folks they might get a clue. Maybe.They would be happier for it also. I think.
What is your bowling average? Mine is 50, if I play 3 games and combine the scores.However, I do get very high scores in golf. Evens out. grin

Hey SG, I love your rules! Maybe I should print them out and post them on my fridge at home..for my physco mil to see - but then again, she's not going to be in my house for a very long time!

I'm a candlepin bowler, I know, most of you have never heard of it!!!! The balls are about the size of a softball and the pins are taller and thinner! It's very popular in New England and Canada! My candlepin average is 103
