[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 377458, member: 84"] LOL Susie.........yes the "koi" between sister in law, easy child and Nichole has been worked out for quite some time. easy child decided that a spat between her husband and her sister was not going to come between her and her sister and stepped out of the situation. No one urged, spoke to, anything about the rift between sister in law and Nichole. Nichole was handling it like an adult and refusing to escalate it. Once sister in law calmed down.......well honestly, I think he was feeling bad and ashamed of himself but having a hard time with it. Still no one said anything. Actually no one even made a big deal out of it once we decided was best for those 2 to work it out. One day out of the blue sister in law contacts Nichole and asks her to please forgive him, that he was totally wrong and had gone way over the line. Nichole thought at first it was only because easy child had asked him to, but easy child had no clue about it. So Nichole came and asked me what she should do. I simply told her that it wasn't fair for her to expect people to understand that when she gets mad she often says hurtful things she doesn't really mean.........and not be able to forgive sister in law for doing the exact same thing. Yeah, he was wrong, yeah it went way over the line.......and how many times had she done the same only to come to her senses and expect and hope to be forgiven? Next thing I know she's accepted his apology and all is right with them again. Those 2 are so much like siblings it can be comical at times. But then Nichole was fairly young when sister in law joined the family. I've noticed a change in sister in law as well. He has discovered that his previous forms of humor were not funny to those people who really care about him and love him. It has stopped. He still can crack a joke, but it's not at the expense of another person. Odd thing here too is it has helped how all the kids treat each other.......all of them. Nichole threw a double graduation party for boyfriend and myself over at easy child's house. Offered to help easy child clean and get ready for it. easy child turned down the cleaning but Nichole prepared all the food, stuck around after to make sure everything was cleaned up. Nichole will be moving and sister in law offered his truck as long as they'd pay the gas. Fair because his truck is huge and gas is not cheap. Nichole and boyfriend had already looked into moving vans......and are more than happy to pay his gas. I just watch them and smile. I don't say a word. They've stopped taking each other for granted. They've started looking at each other as people instead of just siblings........and they're dragging each other into maturity. lol And like I said......I'm just riding the wave. :rofl: [/QUOTE]
