A bit of background, MIL (kind of, I was lucky not to marry ds's dad) has always been a meddler, she went into ds's school and asked them for a report because I didn't give her any info about ds as 'I was jealous that he got married', she dragged ds into a card shop to buy his (absent and previously spent more time in the pub then with ds) a fathers day card without asking me, I've witnessed her slap ds's cousin across the face for dragging a brolly on the floor (swears blind she doesn't hit children though), she 'forgets' to collect ds from school, constant criticism (what school I should send ds to etc), likes to meddle etc, told me ds's dad was loosing his job so the maintenance would stop (not true), there's alot more but I wouldn't want to bore you.

She only see's ds a few times a year but wants to take ds to see his aunt for a week in the summer. He's not been away from me any longer then one night, I need to get out of this. ds doesn't like her as she takes over and drags him around at her 99 miles an hour speed. Please help.
TIA.

oh I'm ok - looking forward to a few days of not doing much.

Chippin - I posted 3 minutes before you missed me out of your post - I think you need to type faster .

If it keeps raining like this I may well read the penguin threads tomorrow, not going to get out in the garden if it's like this

Iif it was last night it was the influence of Mr Magner - previous nights it would have just been the caffeine LOL

I don't think she would cherrybolssoms. She lies, the school and the 'I never hit my grandchildren', then three months later I see it myself proves it I think. I can look past the fact that he's eaten a bowl of chips for lunch, it's a granny thing. The meddling and hitting though, I don't think I can. I'm on edge all the time, she seems to railroad everything I say and take over.

FAQ - got delayed mid post doing something very important.... it's lovely and cold with lots of bubbles.....

FlukeU · 11/04/2009 01:30

Oh I see.

Actually, my dear cherryblossom, you may need to reflect on your comprehension skills. It is clear by the posts what the issue is. I do appreciate that you may need to clear your head from OK and Heat mag ....but really, if you look clearly you can see the issues.

I am not projecting/reacting to any personal triggers in this post. It is clear, although I do realise that I need to take in account of your alcohol intake tonight.

Please ensure you do not drive and try not to pretend to have any sort of coherent conversation tonight, oh, and mind the stairs,,,
