I've been going above and beyond on this one, bending over backwards to be nice, inclusive and complementary. This is going to take very ounce of political savy, tongue biting and niceness that I can muster. It will be a challenge to say the least. I've been praying a lot about it. For me and for her.

You can vent, share or whatever you need to do here Marilyn. We're here for you and will do what ever we can to help. If the truth was to be told Marilyn...she's probably just as jealous of you.

Now they're home, and the marriage really begins. They had a wonderful start
with the beautiful wedding and wonderful honeymoon. My prayers that they have a long and joyful life together.

I'm sorry about her fish.

You're such a good Mom, cleaning her house so that they can come home and relax.

Jessie lived 5 minutes away from her in-laws, and about an hour away from me.
I hated it, was jealous, and then I slowly got over it. I was always so happy because my grandchildren clearly love me more than Steve's mom. How mean
of me!

Anyway, the table has turned now. I'll be near them and his folks about 4 hours away. (And the children still love me more). I'm not being mean anymore. It is what it is. She's really a lovely woman.
