[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 368085, member: 1233"] I am so sorry this all came up. It brings back all kinds of memories for me. I babysat gfgbro's daughter for the first few months. Not only did I have to deal with all his idiotic parenting notions - NONE of which came out of ANY parenting book or magazine - I also had to handle his schedule. He would drop her off a couple of hours early. Or late. He was NEVER even within 30 inutes of the time he said he would pick her up. I also had to beg for payment. Nichole is totally right. Well, no one is totally right, but she is acting very appropriately. Kudos to her for standing up for herself and for behaving like a mature adult. easy child is probably feeling lost right now. Hopefully she will soon figure out what is really going on. I am SURE that sister in law's version puts him in a good light and paints Nichole out to be a psycho. Your reaction is likely confusing the Hades out of easy child because it does not seem logical when compared with what sister in law has told her is going on. It would be interesting to hear what sister in law has told her. It might make her reactions understandable. sister in law is totally out of line. Jokes are only jokes if EVERYONE is laughing. If someone isn't laughing it is NOT a joke. Period. I hope that easy child can get him to adjust his attitude. This is all probably extra hard for easy child because she has not ever really faced hardship, much less hardship that separates her from you all. I am sorry that things will be rough for a while. Stay out of it as much as you can. If one starts badmouthing the other either tell them to stop or walk away. You might suggest they find a neutral third party to mediate if they want to talk it out. Don't take that role on as whatever you say will be "support" for one side or the other to say you play favorites. {{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}} [/QUOTE]
