Maybe we have to teach the inner child that it wont be put into time out if it doesnt toe the line......take away the need for resistance

Same here I cant watch those shows or read about animal cruelty...my mother has this habit of insisting she read cruelty horror stories out to me on the phone. I tell her I dont want to hear but she just keeps going. Whats that about?

Not sure - but I am going to need a big dose of Undies love when it comes around. Dont want to think about it but have to, to plan a strategy.

Are they that scarey? My ex mother in law - RIP absolutely terrified me. She terrified everybody for that matter. It came down to my ex husband having to come down hard on her and establish the boundaries when she came to stay, I couldnt handle her on my own

Mother-in-law a gem. No Saphs, its the F-I-L. I fear we will never live up to his expectations, or we already have as his expectations are so low. Who stays with other people for 3 weeks?

Who brings their own soap, not using yours for fear of something I dont know what, yet leaves behind the little nugget with the imperial leather logo on it for your use?

I could go on, the minor skirmishes you can laugh at, its the majors that make you sneak the bottles into the bedroom.

There's some inner and outer kiddies that need time out here this week !

Re animal cruelty....I have this thing that it's still happening whether I know about it or not....it's a hard one. the last couple of times I clicked a link to support online, I really lost the effing plot for months each time.....seriously badly, repeated image flashing, nightmares. I've decided to do something, but not be lured in any way into the war stories.

My MIL once stayed for three months!!!!! Just after I had my first baby. She had different ideas to child rearing i.e. let the baby scream it out...he is just spoiled, toilet training at 6 weeks. ARRRGGGHHHH She was appauled that I carried the baby is a sling all the time and fed on demand. I spent those first precious months fighting with the devil and crying my eyes out. Why dont you get in first and hand him a six pack of imperial leather soap and tell him that you think that all of his unrelenting standards were right after all and now you would really like his fabulous advice on hom to conduct your life!!! Sounds like a right old B..........

yep I hear on you on not exposing yourself to the war stories. I donate to the R.S.P.C.A. and always get my doggies from the shelters and do the PAWS walk, stuff like that. With regard to the kiddy problem, my sisters 14yold is behaving like a she devil. Last night she brought her round to my place and I put her through a BOOTCAMP for 45 mins. Early reports from sister is that said she devil didnt have the energy to slam a single door or even roll her beautiful eyes!!! Magic

Control freiks only get away with it if you play their game. Detach..
Try ignoring him, and being blissfully happy for no reason at all...except that you are. It drives them batshit. They need the attention and control.
Slather the attention that you withdraw from him on MIL.....how nice for you both.
It's your house and your life. Correct ?

Right just typed heaps and lost the lot. Cosmos telling me to go to work?

Only got the MIL for 3 days Bridge. They arent together anymore, she left him and although they are still friends, in her words hes a difficult prick.

Last time when I smart mouthed something, he suggested Mr HP cut of my allowance - which has gone down in family history with the locusts suggesting it every once in a while, to a much bemused Mr happy. Lucky hes got his mums personality otherwise i would be outers.

Correct Bridge, I am going to put on my big girl pants and face up to the old bugger. And you lot betta be right behind me, metaphorically speaking.
