[QUOTE="Shari, post: 231774, member: 1848"] Oh, no fear, TM. I have no doubt. I don't even expect mother in law to really change her ways. Tho now that father in law is aware, he may try to rein her in a little. I'm not even sure it will end when she's dead. That's probably my biggest fear. But easy child 2 knows right from wrong, and that if she lies to us again like this, even if grandma told her to, the price is hers to pay. I am prepared to step out of the picture regarding her and the rest of husband's family if need be. Doing that may cost me husband in the long run, but that's a risk I'll have to take. FWIW, I'm sure she will lie again. I just hope its typical teen stuff that we deal with and move on, I'm not so dead-set as to think she'll be truly easy child from here on. But I think she and husband understand that if this type scenario plays out again, there will be changes. I can't change my mother in law. I can't change anyone but me. But I won't put up with husband accepting it anymore, or easy child 2 playing with those kinds of rules. [/QUOTE]
