[QUOTE="klmno, post: 226055, member: 3699"] I wish I knew better, more effective words to express this- it is the in-laws that are going to lose in this situation, in my humble opinion. It appears to me that your husband does know that you and he are doing what needs to be done and you're working through things with the kids as best you can. I think he's still hoping (understandably so) that his parents can help bridge the gap between all of you. That's unlikely to happen, but it will take him longer thatn you to give up on that. You KNOW who you are- none of us are perfect- as people or as parents- so don't feel guilty or upset- there is no reason to. You know your kids better than anyone. It sounds to me like husband sees and knows all this too. But, I can see where he might have a little tougher time when he's trying to deal with his family (you and the kids) at the same time he's trying to figure out how much he needs to puit his foot down with his parents. So, hang on- I really believe you will come out the bigger and wiser person. It's just a tough road and I'm sorry you have to be on it. And keep parenting your kids as you see fit- to h*** with what they say about it. You have to be you and their mom before anything. They have to learn how to get over it. [/QUOTE]
