am i taking it the wrong way?

[frootloop]

last night dh was telling me about the phone call from his dad he got that day, and he said 'dad was saying it would be nice if you would share me with them once in a while'

i got quite angry at this remark as i think it makes me out to be like the crazy woman from that movie Misery, keeping him prisoner and never letting him out.

dh said i was taking it the wrong way, but ive had several remarks like that before. they think that because dh never wants to go and see them it must be because im stopping him, its not. its because i won't go anymore(long story)and dh knows it'll be crap and boring if im not there and doesnt want to drive a 6 hour round trip to sit on a sofa all day watching tv.

sorry for the rant, im just so sick of the ils and their snide remarks.

It's hard but just ignore them. You would be extremely lucky to find in laws who didn't, to some degree, feel you were stealing their beloved son away. Think your DH could have stood up for you a bit though.

My MIL is like this. She makes digs about me keeping hr 'boy' (40 yr old man!) from her. It is sheer good manners on my part that has stopped me from screaming in her face 'He doesn't WANT to see you. It's ME that hassles him to keep in touch with you!'. Ignore it. Not worth getting worked up about.
