And to top it all off I tried to make peace with my SIL and was told I am snotty, ungrateful, offensive person. And her solution is we should be more conciecious of each other. I already censor myself to an extreme. What does she want me to be a mime??? Oh wait I might be to offensive with my mining too... I give up!!! I wasn't even trying to be friends I would just like family events to be less dreadful.

Hugs Mama, fwiw I thought your fb post was fine, of course from a MIL perspective it could have given a bit of a start... for a moment. As far as your SIL, you'll just have to agree to disagree of sorts. There's nothing you're ever going to be able to do to pacify her it seems. Be who you are, and if she can't accept that then that's her problem. I'd be ticked and setting some firm boundaries. No body messes with Mama Bear.

Seriously, I hope you find some sort of resolution for this nonsense. BTW Your friends love you for who you are.

tuesday is for.eh.ver. Wayne puts in nearly 14 hours between church and walmart on tuesdays, which leaves one long day with crazy kiddos. kezia is a little off today...not finishing her whole bottle and didn't nap well, but I think the nap was sydney's fault cuz she kept waking her up.
working on a sewing project when I should be cleaning or catching up on a bible reading plan I'm doing with my friend. I justify my sewing cuz it is a present for her. well, better get back to it.

Thank I really needed this today I tried emailing it out today. Not any better. I feel slightly better when I talked to my MIL about everything. She was beyond shocked about everything especially the snobby comment.

Taking a step back, I feel BIL is partially to blame as he allows her to treat his family like this. It's not just me either MIL feels the same way. I've been with DH for 10 years, they have been together not even 2. I'm sorry but if my spouse acted like this towards my family we would be having pretty serious words.

Even poor DH feels terrible as talking it out was his idea. He never imagined I would have been attacked like that.

Love you ladies!! Thanks for listening.
