| Family can be a pain Family can be such a pain in the butt...... I called to make a hair appointment to get my hair cut on thursday (this is a family friend that is the hairdresser) and my 'future mother in law" calls me up today and leaves a message on my phone "i just called to get an appointment for mollie (my fiance's sister) a haircut, and i made it right after yours... so pick her up from home and then drop her off when you guys are done" Ok, fine.... so i call her back and tell her "okay ill be there." because i dont get to spend as much "girl time" with mollie as i would like.... and she tells me "yeah i allready told her you would"........ Am i just being too touchy? or should she have ASKED (notice in the word for word message she left no where did she ASK me... she TOLD me) and recieved my answer before she went ahead with her plans of booking me solid all thursday...... so much for finishing some paintings i was going to work on (and her house is OUT OF THE WAY.... i will have to drive PAST the salon more south pick up mollie then get our hair done.... then drop mollie back off which means i have to go south again (and i live north) so this is a strain on my gas as well, and we dont have much money these days because i wont be working soon.....) |

| About the smartest thing you can do is speak up NOW,if you don't it will become a habit,I put up with it for 25 years,and I am so sorry to say that the only way I got out of it was my mother in law finailly died.yes that sound really bad,but she was a pain in the b***,good luck |

| That was pretty rude of her. You better let her know that she's out of line now because I'm sure it only gets worse when you have the ring on your finger. My mom always told me to be careful because when you marry a guy, you're marrying his whole family.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I agree she should have asked you.....people can really take other people for granted and that just shouldn't happen - but the other side is we are lucky to HAVE family.... and while they can be a pain - we'd miss them if they were gone..... |

| I also agree that she should of asked... I also agree that if you don't want this to continue you will need to say something or get creative in your answers, like.... "thanks for thinking of me and thinking that my day is set aside to service everyones needs, unfortunatly so and so has already demanded all my time for that day... maybe next time I will be able to jump when you tell me to" Just kidding- for me being a stay at home mom also means everyones servant.... everyone believes that because I stay home, it means that my day is ment to fullfill their needs, wants and wishes... (meaning extended family) you wouldn't believe how many calls I get... so and so is sick, I told the school you will pick them up, their doc apt is in one hr, I left a message at the clinic that you will be bringing them, we use wallmart drug store, the insurance info is already there, oh and while you are at wallmart, could you pick up some toothpaste, toilet paper, pens, pencils, paper, dog food, a new outfit for sally, a gift for blake... ect...ect...ect. So I now have a sour attitude when anyone tells me what to do with my time. I told my family now that the door mat is off the floor, no one can step on it and wipe their feet on it any more |

| I've talked to my fiance about it, but his response is "dont worry about it" (coincidentally i cant stand this phrase any more.... every time i hear it i want to slap him........... if i needed the adivice to 'not worry about it' i would talk to TOBY about my problems... i want help and support not the brush off)..... anyways, this is the way she has always been...... Oh the stories i could tell... ... she deffinatly has different parenting techniques (or lack of) |

| Well...you guys can have my inlaws any day you feel like taking them. Somedays I would even be willing to throw my husband in there with them as a bonus. |

| I have a serious boyfriend and when we were in highschool I clearly remember one night our plans changed and he didn't mention it to his parents. Them being psycho, his dad was waiting in my parents driveway for almost the entire evening. He demanded I clear out my purse to see if there was anything in it and I was carrying my shoes (we went swimming at a friends house) and he said "empty out your shoes". I was so embarassed...but how dare his father tell me to do that. We are now 21 and still dealing with them...and I plan on marrying him!
