[QUOTE="Tired out, post: 744842, member: 23103"] Elsi, I am so sorry to read about S. I was so hopeful for her and you. Big sigh. As for your daughter dealing with overbearing in laws. Sounds like those boys are all afraid to lengthen any apron strings. As soon as one of the boys falls for a girl that won't put up with it all the strings will lengthen. Mark my words there will be a girl that won't tolerate it and the son will want the girl more than his mom or dad's money. As soon as that happens with one of the boys the others will loosen their grip. The mother is probably scared to death if she only has boys. A girl is a daughter the rest of your life the boy is a son till he takes a wife. AS for your mom. I am sure it is harder for her generation to let go of tradition much more than it is for ours. My parents always wanted to do things on their calendar day. Your birthday was celebrated ON the day, not the next weekend. Christmas was on Dec 25th, Not on the previous/following Sunday. Maybe you can celebrate with your mom on the 25th and have the rest on a day that works for all of them. Same here. They have never seen or heard their dad or me have derogatory comments about people in regards to orientation, race or ethnicity. However there has always been comments about horrible drivers-that knows no perimeters :) [/QUOTE]
