Oh yeah, it would be tough for your BIL having to deal with it, but if he's like most guys it will be like water off a ducks back to him. I don't think you're being too biatchy or anything, she's done some awful things to you and I think it would be a valuable lesson for her to learn that others think about her the way they do because of the way she has treated them - you reap what you sow.
Oh, pain-wise I'm OK, it's not been that bad that I *need* anything for it, its more just that I get really crampy, like a bad period pain and still just sore form where the incisions are, so it just needs time to heal and I probably shouldn't try to do as much as I do either LOL. And if it did get bad, I have a box of pandeine Forte here (which make me feel stoned LOL so it's not terribly smart to take them when I'm here alone with the kids kwim).
ahhhh i don't know katie!!!
what do you girls think????
i am friends on fb with dh's cousin and a couple of friends, so word would definitely filter through to her before dh got up there for xmas.
where's our gorgeous child of the universe md when i need her??? what do you think md, is it too wrong and manipulative to put it out there this way? i just don't want to stoop to her evil level this way.
i was thinking that if anyone wrote anything on fb, i would just quickly delete it..
dh and his brother are out at a job working late.
i think he's totally beyond caring about her or her feelings or her thoughts anymore. he just wants minimal drama in our lives.
yeah, maybe just leave it until he's spoken to her. it just feels too much like adding fuel to the fire. i'll give you the go-ahead in the next couple of days.
thanks for thinking of me katie xoxo
Rainy, I think that is a very wise decision to keep it discrete until DH has told MIL. You know the news is going to antagonise her (and it serves her right if that's the way she's going to be towards you both) but you don't need to be unnecessarily cruel about it, kwim? Plus in purely selfish terms it will come back at you for much longer and with a lot more bitterness if you go about it the wrong way (speaking from considerable experience with my own toxic mother). Sometimes it's best to take the middle path. xxx
