[QUOTE="witzend, post: 441476, member: 99"] Thanks, Marg. You know what really chafed my hide was when she started going on that I should "consider what Jesus would do. I mean, I assume you [I]are[/I] a Christian, right?" Jesus would think it would be ok for me to snatch her bald-headed for thinking she can use him to guilt me into driving their mom to a wedding for their daughter because it's inconvenient for her and their brother and his wife to take grandma along to stay for the week's vacation leading up to the wedding! They [I]still[/I] haven't even asked us yet, they just let mother in law call us and complain that she has to take Greyhound because no one will drive her. How "Christian" is that? Holy Moley, if [I]that [/I]was what they wanted maybe they should have included us in the wedding planning! Or just 'fessed up. I told husband last night that this is [I]his[/I] family and [I]he [/I]needs to put it right for himself and get me out of it. I told him [I]I[/I] am done but I won't have them angry at me because he doesn't have a decent relationship with them. He said "Well, what can I tell them to do to make it right with you?" Nothing! I told him if they want to apologize for being so manipulative I'll be happy to forgive them and forget them, but as it stands I know what kind of people they are and he hasn't felt the need to contact them in 30 years and I can definitely see why! I don't see why I should invest anything in it. Remember when my sig used to say "Do Not Poke the Bear"? It's entirely appropriate today! [/QUOTE]
