[QUOTE="nvts, post: 173455, member: 3814"] First - Are you over the PMS? You don't want to go in there and bawl like a baby! Second - write down what you want to say - that way you'll make sure that you'll only have to have the conversation once AND you won't be going over it in your mind saying "oh ****, I forgot to say this!" Third - did you ever watch "The Witches of Eastwick" with Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfiffer? There's a scene where he has to let Michelle Pfiffer go because his wife has gone nuts over the 3 + Jack Nicholson. Your brother in law might be in the position of his wife (your nutty sister) driving him nuts over some assumed wrong, broadcasting, discussing or whatever of their finances. He, knowing that you have your wits about you, can move the responsibility without you being in a position to make HIS life a living hell. So I'd make sure that my sympathy bone was in place. If this is the way things are going to flush out, he's not going to be able to give you back the bookkeeping. My suggestion is that you figure out what YOU want to do with the other 70% of your time there. Is there a school nearby that you can study graphic arts on his dime? You could be helping with research and development for the various marketing programs. I just think you'd be better off going in with a plan. You'd be the reasonable one, and he'll be caught completely off guard. Good luck kiddo, and let us know how it goes! Beth [/QUOTE]
