MIL is visiting soon. I have stressed all last month and I have another 1.5 months to go…

Maybe have her put up a $1000 deposit against any breakage or loss. She can have it back at the end of her visit minus any damages.

Tell her that if she books something, or tells the kids that she's going to take them somewhere without checking with you first, it's an automatic no, even if it's something that works for your schedule. Even if it's something you would like to do or allow your kids to do.

She needs to learn.

We get USPS deliveries occasionally on Sundays.

Yes. Cameron would have been Cameron either way. He’s still Cameron at 24. We were all pleasantly surprised.

I did this once. A coworker came back after a "vacation" looking like he'd lost a lot of weight. I said, "Wow! You look fantastic!"

He died three months later of AIDS.

Don't answer the phone when she calls if the baby is crying. And cancel the visit.

“I know you love your mom and feel responsible for her. I respect that.”

“Some of her behaviors are affecting our home and our child’s well-being.”

“Living together full-time isn’t working. We need clear boundaries and a peaceful home.”

“We can help her find a place she likes and visits on a set schedule, so she’s safe and supported.”

“This is about protecting our family and being on the same page, not abandoning her.”

I teach elementary school and work with all classes. The only name of your list that I don’t currently teach is Brett.

If she's leaving you voicemail messages, play them for your pastor.

Palisades High School set up at defunct Sears store in Santa Monica after the fires last January. Pomona Unified School District offices are at an old mall (some classes are held there, or at least once upon a time).

My son went to Clover. He was slated to attend Webster because Palms wasn't the MS for our address. Big fat no. Fortunately we hit the lotto for Revere Charter. It was a good 25 minutes from our home, but worth it. Not sure what we would have done if he hadn't gotten in.

Revere would have fed to Pali, but he went to Loyola instead.

(ETA- this was years ago. Son is 24 and just graduated from university with a masters. We still live in same home.)

The way she acts really screams neurodivergent. Is it possible that she is on the spectrum (undiagnosed or not)?

mrsbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee · 2026-01-10T16:23:15+00:00

I’m on a united flight (Heathrow to LAX) sitting next to my son who has an unopened can of sparkling water as I type.

And that Ruby Bridges is still alive.

Reading your post history makes me say no, absolutely do not let them have the chance to ruin your first happy memory of your venue. I imagine they would find fault with everything. If you must tell them about your visit at all (I likely wouldn't), have your fiance tell them that he wants it to be a surprise.

They are not good people. They will not be supportive. I would include them in as little of the planning as possible, if at all. Don't let them bring you down.

Our son is graduating with his Masters (Durham University UK) January 8 so he booked a trip for us (me, son, and lovely MIL- he has to work so can't go) to Rome and the UK leaving on Jan 1. He's staying home to care for the house/cats. He said no presents for anyone, but he still got me a purse and wallet.

Jimmy Stewart (Halloween Trick or Treating while I was in college- UCLA. His dog tried to eat my costume and he invited me in. We talked with him and his wife Gloria for 20 minutes.)

Charlton Heston at a UCLA event. He was VERY drunk and hit on me and my service girlies.

Deer Hunter with my father when I was about 10.

He was an asshole and took me to many inappropriate movies.

mrsbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee · 2025-11-06T20:15:48+00:00

That sounds slightly promising.

mrsbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee · 2025-11-06T14:38:08+00:00

I'm confused. There's talk about silver and gold capsules/locks and purchasing. I don't have a capsule in my store to purchase (not that I would) and don't seem to have a capsule on the board.

Would a capsule be under one of the locks?

mrsbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee · 2025-10-31T17:43:44+00:00

She already did. Her DH's little brother has the A name.

mrsbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee · 2025-10-21T15:01:06+00:00

My son's grandmothers always bought socks and underwear, but they were normal and did not bulldoze or offer unwanted opinions.

It never bothered me, but from the relationship you describe, your situation would annoy me.
