| Oh Rhonda sounds like you have in law fun! You know you are not alone girl. The best thing you can do is just try to brush it off and keep the one causing the trouble at a distance. If anything though, they are your children's family which eventually they will look for so just hang in there girl! :) |

| I didn't sleep very well either. Too much on my mind I think. Anyway, I get to go pick my dog up some time today. He had to spend the night at the vet. The other dog misses him so much. I completely understand the step grandma/step father/mother stuff. My grandma does the same thing and it ends up causing problems between my parents and I. I swear the next time my mom calls yelling at me I'm going to tell her when she can talk to me like an adult she can call me back and hang up. I'm 32 and she treats me like I'm 12. Not to mention that fact that she thinks because I'm a WAHM I'm lazy. |

| Lucinda, I have that same problem with my parents, siblings, in-laws everyone that I know think I am lazy or need to go get a "REAL JOB" just because I WAHM. And yes, my mom thinks she can treat me like a 12 year old at times too. It's hard at times, I think it's hard for parents to treat their kids like adults for spending so many years raising us. But in the end everything you do just needs to be the right fit for you and your family not what everyone else thinks is right. My in-laws a whole different story, let's just say thank God they live in MA and we live in OH and let's keep it that way:) Have a wonderful day ladies!!! |

| Thanks for sharing Brooke. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one treated like that by her own mother. Also, I understand about inlaws. Mine live 5 miles away and do not get to participate in my daughter's life. |

| Good morning ladies, or should I say afternoon! I have been having in-law issues myself. I'm not sure what exactly gets me so fired up but there are divorces on both mine and my husbands sides. I think sometimes the drama from that has kept our kids from having the grandparents they deserve. It frustrates me to have to worry about only inviting certain ones to certain things. My husbands family seems preoccupied with the step-grandchildren. It took my in-laws three months before they came to see our daughter after she was born and they only live 45 minutes away! We used to live 5 hours away, but see them less the closer we live. How do you keep from throwing your arms in the air and saying forget it all! Haha! I'd love for them to be involved and I could really use the help, but it just feels like we are not a priority. It makes me so sad for my kids. |

| The hard part about in-laws for me is handling it with my husband. I don't want to make him uncomfortable and feeling like he's stuck between his wife and his family, but mine do the same thing! We drive all the way up to Maine to see them and they can't be bothered to make the 30 minute drive to the house we're staying in to see our daughter. It's insanity and it makes me so mad, but I am so careful about what I say, if I say anything at all. However, he then has the nerve to say something about MY family, who makes the 1600 mile trip every 6 weeks to see our daughter, and doesn't even think about how it will affect me. Drives me NUTS! It's one of our biggest issues as a couple. I'm glad to see I'm not alone--families can be such an interesting thing. |

Hey everyone,
Just remember, You all have a family now and if the in-laws hasn't grown up yet then they need to take the back burner. Put your kids and husband first, as new mommies and daddies the kids will look to you for answers. It's your right to bring up your kids the way you like to. Time has changed and so did the information of bring up childern today. My husband and I always talk about what is doesn't feel right. My dad never send me a card or flowers or baby stuff when she was born and it took my mother in law two weeks to see my baby and she lives three hours away. We had to bring our child to see her when she was in town doing a tour at longyear musum (sp). My dad lives three states away. With that happen I told my husband this year for Christmas if his mom wants to see our baby she'll have to come down and visited. Packing for a newborn takes a lot of stuff and being on the road for three hours is crazy. So she can pack her one little bag and drive to see her grandchild. We came to see her about four times and it's not easy packing and doing the drive. I love to have the "grandparents" in my childs life but they have to do some work too. |
