I will say this, with 3 kids 4 and under, I wish my MIL was more available to help. WE struggle with her disappearing, so I do appreciate seeing the other side.<BR/><BR/>Good luck.

I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND YOU. Case in point: Hubs and I went on our honeymoon. I told him to make sure the forwarding address for the wedding presents went to MY parents. He, of course, thought his parents were a better option. When I got back from my HONEYMOON. ALL my presents had been opened and a list had been made of Andréahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08865804094063195010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079094051636572901.post-71792156067560111302009-01-22T11:15:00.000-08:002009-01-22T11:15:00.000-08:00Oh I hear ya.

It is like I am harboring some horrible feelings towards them because of how they treated my husband when he was younger. It is a long story, just as yours is, but I struggle with the same sort of feelings you do.
