You are right. A’s mom needs to face the consequences of her actions. Screw people who say “but she’s your mom”. Obliviously the phrase “but she’s your daughter” had no meaning to A’s mom so she doesn’t deserve her daughter’s help. She ditched her kid for her own happiness. The daughter should do the same.  

That is what I though. I am so glad my husband is a better person than that dude. I know I am reading into the letter but I worry about A and wonder if the husband forces his will on her like her mom but to a much lesser degree.

I really wonder how he treats A. My husband was the first to say that the kids needed to be away from my mother. My kids picked up on how hurt and upset I was after talking to her. They don’t miss the relationship at all. My kids have learned that if you are doing all the work to keep a relationship going, then it…

It bugged me that he was pissed that A’s mother didn’t come to his dad’s funeral but is ok enough with how A was treated that he would allow his children to be treated the same way by the toxic MIL.

I think it is coming from survivors of toxic parents. I read that he wanted his children to have contact with A’s mom and every part of me screamed “child abuse”. I think the husband hasn’t truly dealt with toxic people. He is naive to think she will treat the grandchildren differently than she treated his wife.

You are totally correct. I wish I had cut off my mom much earlier than I did. Her behavior put a strain on my marriage. She would try to get my husband on her side against me. Thankful, he would tell her that no one was allowed to treat his wife that way and hang up on her. When she started treating my oldest like she…

I can’t believe he would take his children to see that woman. It is child abuse to let that woman near her grandchildren. My mom is a narcissist. I put up with a lot until she became a bad grandmother too. As soon as she started tearing down my kids, we were done.  

I didn’t have the quotes. I was going off of tantrum behavior and tone instead of words. I don’t follow tennis that closely. It seems that the Williams sisters have been treated differently their entire careers. It appeared to start because their dad trained them instead of some country club tennis pro. They weren’t…

I didn’t remember that but I don’t follow tennis. He would show up in sports highlights and I didn’t understand why he wasn’t thrown out every single time.

I always thought McEnroe behaved like a toddler when he screamed at the umpire. McEnroe should have been kicked out of games but it was ok because he was a man. She had passion. She is being treated differently.

thanks.

So what was it that made the audience gasp? I came here to see that but didn’t find it in the article. I did skim it because it says most of the same stuff that others have said when it debuted in England.

When I taught middle school, I was frustrated with a student and told him I was going to tape his mouth shut if he didn’t stop talking. The next day he asked to borrow my tape. I thought he had to fix a folder. He put the tape over his mouth and was patiently waiting for me to notice.

I loved my epidural. I didn’t get one with my second child. We do not have a third child.

I don’t know who these people are either. To show the old, 99% of the outfits look tacky to me. 

They are correct that fake news is dangerous. I don’t know how anyone on Fox News can say that without dissolving into maniacal laughter.

I have never left my kid in the car but I have been sleep deprived and forgotten my youngest was in the backseat. He is very quite and I have said words to drivers that almost hit me (people in my town don’t know what yield means) that I try not to say in front of my kids. I have even tried to take my kids to work…

The kid remembers who gave him what item still. My husband’s parents were so generous.

I always wondered what else my parents lied to me about when I realized they were Santa. I never had the Santa talk with my kids. I just didn’t put presents under the tree marked “From Santa”. We did the pictures with Santa for a while. When my oldest was 3, the mall Santa asked him what he wanted Santa to bring him…

This is why I am glad I have boys.
