[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 342372, member: 1436"] Shadow, it may look like we're smiling and being gracious, but child beneath those smiles lie the most sinister hearts imaginable. I never feel "put upon" because while I may seem to be a southern gentlewoman, I am also a very strong, independent woman. There are ways, my dear, to get your point across and still come out smelling like a rose. I often use the phrase "kill them with kindness." That's the true southern way. It's kind of like when we say "God bless you" we're really saying "You are a blundering idiot!" Anyway, GO TO THE WEDDING. Show up with smiles and laughter. Pretend he is the greatest son in the history of the world. Praise him to everyone there. Be the mother of the groom---something those other women can't be. Lie through your teeth and tell them how "happy" you are to see them. Then go home, get on the computer, and vent to us. :) But never, never let them see you sweat! [/QUOTE]
