I think MOH is maid of honor.

Hope the antibiotics help!

DD threw a mini Reese's peanut butter cup at me when I was lying on the couch.  I guess she actually threw 2 and I saw only one - the other got smeared on my sweats and the couch -  I found a smooshed, half melted one between the cushions when I saw the chocolate on my sweats.  I tried to wipe it off the couch - it still smells like peanut butter.  Thanks, DD.  Good thing I was wearing gray sweats and not navy or black or who knows how long it would have taken me to realize I was getting chocolate everywhere.

Happy day after!

MOH is Maid of Honor, Chris.

I was floored last night when DS & DIL came over.  She was so disrespectful I felt used over the whole wedding thing.  I have lost a lot of sleep over it, and my heart is literally aching.  I am out of my heart meds and feel awful.

I am so sorry Meece, you mean she was disrespectful last night, what did she say/do.....is she mad at you for something....did you talk to your son about it.

get your meds

thanks guys, I will get them before going to work....macy's at noon!!

Sandy

Meece

Yes, last night, yes I talked with son about it, we sat down to talk it out and she was lying about stuff.  I lost a lot of respect last night.  Will go into town for meds today.  It's not getting any better.  Hard to breathe.

chrisct

I'm so sad for you, Meece.  After all you did for her!  She's putting your son in a bad position.  He isn't going to want to turn on his mom, but he is going to want to stand by his wife.  Does the MOH have something to do with the lies?  I hope she realizes the error of her ways and apologizes.  ((((((HUGS))))))

Hope you are having a good day at work, Sandy!

Meece - I'm so sad that this has happened at such a special time and after all your efforts.  Sadly, my DIL is similarly disrespectful and demands my DS stand by her no matter what.  I guess I taught loyalty really well.  If you look at Thanksgiving and birthday pictures on facebook, you will see it would seem we weren't there - despite that it was at our house.  I am just hoping people will notice that we are not included in the pictures and ask where we are

sheila888

Meece,,,Sorry maybe it's time to act mildly selfish MIL.....

Diane.....What's the problem...if you want I can post something on FB.....about the picture

Sandy...I hope people are not pushing you around in Macy's........Raising children is a difficult task

I think we all have to learn something that we come first.....But when family is involved it is very difficult

Linda where are you?

(((♥TOL♥)))

Meece, that is soooooo not right.  Don't get yourself sick over this.

deborye

Hey nothing came out!

Meece

I am already sick over.  Unfortunately the sign you posted never seems to work when it comes to me.  Those who use me as a mat seem to prosper well.  Me, I tread water trying to keep from going under.

raincitygirl

I'm sorry Meece.  I know how you feel and it is hard to recover.

Sheila - what I meant was that I hosted her families birthdays as well as my beautiful granddaughter's along with Thanksgiving.  I made her beautiful things and fun gifts - no mention, no picture. Not one picture includes any member of our family or even mention that we hosted the events and all those houseguests. (I posted the picture of Joel).  It's as if we weren't there and it hurts my feelings.  It is par for the course, sadly.  I also paid for the cakes and the extra rooms they needed - no thank you or acknowledgement, just expected.

Diane...I only saw one picture where Shelby was on her high chair in the corner and a panaromic one....

Unfortunately we can't change people......some are very cold (This includes family and friends) and some are very warm people....

This is something you are born with I guess.....

I was taken granted for many years by one of friend's....I had it i just had it and about 2 months ago...I told her i wasn't going to be able to help her anymore......I made an excuse

After all I'm not a private secretary, accounting legal adviser......now we still talk but my heart is broken she never said Thank You....Sorry

I know you love your family.....She might have her own issues but that's not an excuse to use other people........Hugs my friend

Meece...I sent you a PM.......

chrisct

(((((((Meece)))))))

This has been attributed to Mother Teresa, but I think someone else wrote it.  There are several versions.  Here is one:

sheila888

Hi Chris...Is it cold where you are?

chrisct

(((((((Diane)))))))

Keep doing the right thing - hopefully, eventually, they will learn from your example and stop being selfish. 

chrisct

Yes, it's cold.  We were out earlier and I think I saw snowflakes.

chrisct

If you're in CT, stay off the sidewalks.  DS got his permit today.

meece and all other sisters who are feeling dumped on I'm sorry that there are so many selfish inconsiderate people out there. All we or anyone can do is to do the right thing as you see it. Yes many times it hurts that someone takes advantage of your kindness and love but you are you and you couldn't do less because that wouldn't be you. It is hard but focus on the positive feelings you got from doing your best and know that somewhere down the line it will come back to you and to them. Hugs

Meece

Thank you, PT.

Meece

Wow! You are amzing, Deb!

blondiex46

WOW Deb that is awesome

Meece, I get that, unfortunately when we have boys we have to deal with the DIL's who can be jealous depending on the relationship, my friend's son's wife told him to pick either her or my friend and he picked the wife and he hasn't spoken to his mother in 6 years and she has no relationship with her granddaughters....

My son also is loyal my DIL and she has lied numerous times......I don't trust her but I love him so I pretend, which if you know me I don't do very well....there are so many boys/men that figure they have to live with "her" that if they break up everything come out......she will regret it, trust me, she will need you before you need her.....

Thanks shiela, you are so good to me, what time are we going, please send the jet for me NOW

Meece

She told me I have to "get over it" or they will not be coming to visit anymore.  Part of me thinks that's best.
