[QUOTE="Shari, post: 443880, member: 1848"] My thoughts, exactly! If he can't see, he won't mind me canceling cable, and he also won't be able to blow up any more cars! lol The sad thing is, she really, truly expects me to take this on as my problem. I really do not think she will ever "let go" of her children and allow them to be anything but her wards (as best as she is capable, I mean). She thinks nothing of telling him to mow her yard and expecting him to do it. Or his sister when Two Brooms tells her to work her garden. Never a request...is an order from a parent. What strikes me as ironic, tho, is the fact that, while I am obviously responsible for husband? She still [I]will not[/I] ask me for ANYTHING to do with cgfg without asking husband first. For 8 years, I have handled the schedules of the kids, and she not once, not even when husband asked her to, has ever asked me when an event relating to cgfg is (such as a ballgame or shoot), or anything of the sort. She says she won't ask me, either, because "cgfg is not (mine) to keep track of". Nor will she ask husband about Wee or the big boys. Yet, husband somehow, as a 46 year old adult - [I]is mine to keep track of??[/I] I don't get it... (then again, [I]that's[/I]:smile: nothing new...) [/QUOTE]
