I want to thank all of you for your kind words of support.
My son and DIL have talked of moving to the states, and I'm sad to say that I hope they don't because I can see her turning every family affair into a big argument. Either I looked at someone elses kid for two seconds longer than I looked at hers, or I corrected one of their children and they didn't like it. Or whatever. I do correct my grandchildren when they are in my house.
They were here for 1 Christmas, and after we had dinner, a frined of some of my daughters stopped by. They had not seen each other for a while, and knew they would be at my house, so they stopped to say HI. Well anyway my DIL and son sat downstairs and wouldn't come up and visit. They were bitching about why those people stopped by and this is family time and blah blah.
It's true they didn't know the kid, but this kid always called me Mom and he just enjoys our family, more than his own I guess.
So I just think having them move here would be a disaster.
I keep hoping that she will grow up, but she is so self righteous, that she doesn't believe that what is doing is wrong. I guess it is just the way she was raised. It might help if my son would say something to her, but maybe he has and she just turns on him.
I've just come to the conclusion that she is an unhappy miserable person and she expects others to provide her with happiness. She doesn't realize that happiness comes from the inside and goes out, not from the outside. and that is sad. she has never learned how to make herself happy. |
