[QUOTE="Shari, post: 175235, member: 1848"] No, I don't think she wants to come to ask to buy mom's stuff. Her interest tonight is probably genuine. She likely would truly like to see the balloon thing. But a genuine interest in us as people is rare. *** And I just think she has been outright rude to me long enough, and she doesn't think of me as a member of her family AT ALL, and I guess I'm down to the pettiness of a little tit-for-tat...if I'm not in yours, stay out of mine. Plus, I just generally do not like being around her because she is so cold to me. Its one thing to put up with it on her time - totally another to have her follow me on mine. *** Obviously, there's more to the story. Things like -- She uses our pasture for her cows constantly. I've had her cows here for at least 6 years. She uses my stock trailer and truck when she sells cows. I get no compensation, but if I want to use something of hers, like her tractor to help move hay (part of which will feed her cows thru the winter), I have to compensate her for it. I came home one night to find difficult child 1's heifer that he was feeding out to sell (when he was still at home) in the trailer being moved to be bred. She decided he needed to keep it, so she was moving it to be bred. She regularly comes to our house and drives out into the yard to talk to husband or see easy child 2, frequently will pass difficult child 2 or I on the way, and won't even roll the window down or wave as she passes, and all this was long before I started avoiding her. *** She bought easy child 2 a bunch of clothes last summer before school. husband and I had planned to take both kids school shopping and easy child didn't clean out her dresser like she was supposed to (lied about doing it 3 times), so she didn't get to go til it was done. mother in law took her anyway.
