carawestt, I can't believe she's so hurtful, what an awful thing to say! I don't think I could hold my tongue in that situation though I understand why it might be a good idea to do so. Your poor H! It sucks she's so manipulative but won't own it.
thedahliharpa, you look great! I know it's not your look but you sure pull it off well.
He asked why I didn't respond or say anything to her. I told him I was stunned and couldn't have said anything even if I wanted to do.
((Cara)) other than I can't believe you just said that, I'm not really sure how to respond either.
I can think of tons of immature ways to handle it but stooping to her level isn't what you want. Maybe I'm concerned that you don't have the same bond with our boys that you do with our niece. Perhaps some quality time alone with L would help you two connect? I can drop him off... (if you trust them to watch him)

Yeah, it's hard. They won't watch him, she made it clear when I was pregnant with Lincoln that they "won't be babysitters." And have made comments about not watching them until after Calvin weans, basically any excuse to put it off for as along as they can. But we also don't feel comfortable having them watch him. They've done some questionable things when my niece was in their care.
OMG I'm so mad. Some hussy cheated and stole our auction item :- (. I was standing next to it when the auction closed and she must have snuck over. Guess what lady? ADNF.
carawestt I'm so sorry, that as an awful thing for your MiL to say.
My parents dealt with a similar situation with my dad's mom. She would say really hurtful stuff to my mom when they were alone and then would say to my dad she didn't know why my mom was upset. They got to the point where my dad didn't leave my mom alone with her. Like if she asked my mom to help her in the kitchen, my dad would go with her, that sort of thing. I don't know if that's feasible for you? At least she wouldn't be able to say hurtful things. They didn't trust us kids with her either, I never remember being alone with her. She passed when I was 9, but I never picked up on any of the strain be tween her and my parents. My parents have just recently shared these stories when I've gone to them for MIL advice ((Hugs))

I'm sorry. She sounds like a "Super - C". She's missing out, but the boys are not.

No!!! So she slipped her name on the paper? That sucks!

Yes she bid after they rang the buzzer. I was standing next to it when the buzzer rang. She and her husband also whisked away another mom's husband to a bar unbeknownst to other mom. It was the other moms birthday and she was the event chair who had worked so hard on the event for months.
