[QUOTE="Shari, post: 475439, member: 1848"] I'd have gotten it if she didn't expect to be called and referred to as grandma. Fine. Then we could have explained this is cgfg's grandma, and these other people are your grandmas. But that's what Brooms wanted. Cgfg calls ex-inlaws grandma/grandpa/uncle/aunt/etc. Calls my family the same. So when Brooms started calling herself grandma to Wee, no big deal. Or so I thought. Til she also decided to adamantly enforce the Wee wasn't a "real" grandchild, and she had no obligation to him or desire to treat him without prejudice. Cgfg aquired 2 sets of grands when I came into the picture. And Wee aquired 0. Bull manure. Even now, as she is being nice to me, I've recently been informed that I am expected to help husband in his role as executor of their estate when they are gone, despite being told I want none of it. She is aware husband can't handle it alone, nor afford it. Three days later came the stinger...there's to be a spot held out for cgfg and cgfg only to build a home when/if she ever wants. Really? I am to support my husband emotionally and financially to help him "save" his family farm that me or my kids can never be a part of? I'd always suspected it...now I know. And Janet, kudos to you. That's the way it should be, IMVHO. It doesn't mean you need to spoil any of them (I mean truly spoil/enable, like Brooms has done - going behind parents backs to purchase things or send kids on trips when they'd gotten in trouble and weren't supposed to go on or giving them money when they were working to pay off money they'd stolen, etc...not "spoil" like sending a goody bag at Halloween). And H&R, don't send me your mother in law's address. I have no patience left for that kind of BS. She better be sending a card for every holiday every year for the rest of her life if she's making a change. Grrr... I'm sorry. [/QUOTE]
