[QUOTE="Star*, post: 424682, member: 4964"] It would be nice if you had sincerely concerned relatives who were just trying to help. Then again? If you had inlaws like I used to have? Power hungry, greedy, martyr, control freak, couldn't care less about the outcome, not the best interest for the child at heart, only WHAT and HOW can I get all the attention on Grandma today because I've literally run the gamut of my list of attention seeking quotents of problems I can create with my OWN life.....THEN you are going to have to stand up and back them down. It would be nice to think that there are more families out there who are kind, just, loving and really have the childs best interest at heart. That would be my immediate family (My Mom) and My fiances family. All are very nice, all are sincerely concerned about my son. None are out for themselves. Then there would have (had she not been run over by her own van by her own children) been my Xmil and my x who are not in it for the sake of the child and are just very sick, mentally ill people who need a daily "Soemthing" to talk about to others, to whine about, and cry about, and fein over while crying that YOU just don't understand them and YOU just don't allow them to help, and YOU just don't ever let them help. On and on et al. Those kinds of people are toxic. If that's what you are up against? Stand your ground, and worry a lot less about their opinions. Basically don't worry period. However if they are the nice family like Nomad speaks about, and I hope they are - do try her approach. I hope for your sons sake they are like that. Hugs [/QUOTE]
