[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 745022, member: 4152"] This friend has noticed something in families I’m kind of noticing within my family. An inconcruency. Illogical results/behaviors. We did our very best with our son under extra ordinarily difficult circumstances. Most adults who know us well, have mentioned how crazy tough it must of been and yet we pulled through. Me having health issues, then adopting a special needs child, no familial help bla bla bla. I read every parenting book I could get my hands on. I periodically home schooled when Difficult Child was not able to go to school. I worked PT to give my children extra attention and have time to go to the doctor myself. Helped our son with school, threw lovely birthday parties etc. I do sometimes wonder if we inadvertently let some things slide with our son due to the craziness we had to endure with his very difficult sister. No doubt it happened from time to Time. Today my son is relatively quick to get upset with me. Especially if he has work stress or any stress elsewhere. He certainly does not want me to complain about ANYTHING. It stresses him out. BUT He thinks his wife is the Madonna. She is nice. But, I don’t think he is realistic. Here is the really odd thing. Her parents were not great parents. They lean on their children constantly. Complain constantly. Made shockingly bad financial choices causing lots of heartache. Yet, the wife sings the praises of the parents like they are just wonderful people. I have mentioned the peculiar huge diatribes they put on FB for the morher’s Birthday like she is the best mom in the world combined with lady di incarnate. I just do t get it. [/QUOTE]
