Or at least I'm going to get one for my mother-in-law that says to stay the hell away from me.
She just doesn't get it. I understand it was just her and my husband when he was growing up so they were really close but she has got to learn to let go. He has my daughter and I now - we are his family. Holidays are going to be spent at home now, just the 3 of us. There is no need to see our daughter every weekend. She will not die from not seeing her grandparents.
She calls and texts every weekend, "What are you guys doing today?". We know why she's calling so just come out and say it so we can say no! I'm sorry she's got no life and she relies on us to keep her entertained but we're not her friends or babysitter. It's not our fault her husband goes off and races every other weekend, leaving her home alone. She married him knowing what he was like.
I brought this up about two weeks ago in therapy, telling my doctor that I needed a break from them. She said it sounded like a good idea. Just like I need a break from Rayne sometimes, it's good to get away from them and spend time with my family. But I think I'll get a doctors note taht specifically says to stay the hell away for my health..... and hers.
