[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 226116, member: 3444"] Wow. They don't [I][U][B]believe[/B][/U][/I] in IT? That's rich. Like they don't believe in the TOOTH FAIRY? Or Leprechauns? Or Big Foot? I think I'd be laughing hysterically if someone said that to me about my difficult children' issues. That's just about the most asinine thing I've ever heard! Perhaps they also don't believe in chickenpox? Or the common cold? Or diabetes? Or Down's Syndrome? Or autism? Maybe cancer? What else don't they believe in? Maybe they don't believe in high blood pressure? Or heart disease? Or perhaps cholesterol is just a marketing gimmick made up by the drug companies? Okay, how's this -- you can tell them: I don't believe in YOU, so therefore YOU don't exist! Well, I can tell you they'd better be prepared to eat a big helping of humble pie after the psychiatrist appointment with you! Don't let them browbeat you into thinking you don't know how to parent your kids. They are WAAAAAY out of line here. You keep on doing what you KNOW is RIGHT and what you KNOW WORKS for your kids. YOU (okay, and husband, too) ARE THE ONLY AUTHORITY IN THIS MATTER. Their opinion is something that should only come out if solicited -- thankyou very much! If they don't like it, show them the door. You didn't give birth to these kids and come down the hard road you've travelled thus far to have them come along and completely undermine and minimize the work you've done and the value you bring to your family. And it IS YOUR FAMILY. Not theirs. They've had their turn at raising kids. Now it's yours -- warts and all. Grrrrr.... what IS it with in-laws and the holidays? [/QUOTE]
