[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 306654, member: 1514"] Yes everyone has inlaw problems to some degree. Tony hated my mom but he did more for her than most son-in-law's would have ever considered have doing given the circumstances of our relationship. He felt it was somewhat important given the fact that we had children involved and we always lived within a short driving distance. I despise his brothers and sister. I dont go up to see them but am cordial if they come down here. If he had living parents I would make more of an effort and when his grandmother was alive, we lived here for her. That is why we moved to this godforsaken town - to take care of her in her elderly years. She was a nice woman even if she couldnt stand me because I was white...lol. She would never call me by my name...I was "theodores white woman". (Tony's middle name is Theodore and that is what his family calls him...ugh!) I do try desperately to get along with my daughter in law and her family because I know I have to be in her life for the next 18 years. Doesnt much matter if the marriage lasts that long but the kids will be kids that long. That is also why I am good to Keyana's mom. She has access to Keyana and can make or break my relationship there. You really dont have to be best friends with someone to have a surface relationship. I try not to get into how the kids are raised unless I really see something wrong. So far I dont see anything really obnoxious with Keyana. I do see some stupid stuff with Hailie and I point it out. I normally only do it to Jamie because Billie will invariable blame him anyway. She bugs us about that. [/QUOTE]
