~ Re: MIL's Arrrggggg! Sorry so Long

[Guest guest]

I find it funny that some women that seemed to have a rough time

being mommies to their own children are such pros at knowing how

others should successfully raise their little ones.

If your youth was anything like my hubby's, I'm sorry you had to

deal with certain aspects. As an adult he has come to grips with a

lot of things and learned that his heart feels better when he moves

on and forgives. He is a good man who has thankfully, because of his

youth, learned how NOT to treat your family if you want to lead a

happy life.

I can't imagine that kind of childhood, as I grew up in a typical,

nuclear, household... SAHM, daddy working for the government 8-5, 2

sisters/3 bros, girl scouts, library book clubs, school plays, crock

pot dinners, gardens, kick the can evenings with neighbor kids, etc.

I wish I could always offer my children the same things I had in my

life, but I can't. I just do my best and feel confident that if I

make mistakes in any other area in my life, my ability to be a good

mommy is one thing I am 100% confident with... even if my MIL

doesn't agree.

Sigh,
