"Welcome to WiseWomenUnite.com -- When adult children marry and leave home, life can sometimes get more complex instead of simpler.  Being a mother-in-law or daughter-in-law can be tough.  How do we extend love and support to our mothers-in-law, adult children, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, and grandchildren without interfering?  What do we do when there are communication problems?  How can we ask for help when we need it without being a burden?  And how do our family members feel about these issues?  We invite you to join our free forum, read some posts... and when you're ready...share your challenges and wisdom."

Tonight my mother asked me a favor.  It involved family and I told her no.  I thought it was not her place to butt in, and I wasn't about to join her.  She go mad threw in but he lost his dad.  I told her not to go there.  When that didn't work she dropped a bomb shell.  She had an appointment with her doctor to check for skin cancer.  I went off and told her bye.  How dare she use that.  Talked to my sister to vent.  Then she calls back don't tell your sister about my appointment.  I think it's back I, I feel like I did before(she wasn't lying).  I don't want your sister stressing.  Um so this is how you tell me.  I told her I didn't feel anything but anger for her.  How dare she inform me this way and use illness to get her way.  This isn't the first time either.  I can't see pass my anger right now.  That's not how you tell someone.

I just posted about nana babysitting problems now I have mother problems.  In a few weeks my cousin will be getting married.  In the next city over. Or far from well anyone but my sister.  Yet their all getting hotel rooms and I am not.  I figure why waste money when it's not far.  My DH is not a heavy drinker.  DD is staying at her BFFs.

Today while sitting outside DD dance class my mother called.  Offering me a way to earn 50 bucks.  Yeah I knew something was up.  So I asked what do I got to do.  Her reply take her dog for that weekend.  I told her no and she got all upset.  I said goodbye.

Then came so many texted adding more money and just flat begging for me to take him.  Um hello that's not going to happen.  I don't want her dog here during that weekend its already already a busy weekend.  I think she is still in mother daughter mind st she was in when I was younger.  Your not suppose to say no.  Is ther an adopt a mom program.

My parents sometimes tak DD over night.  And I get they want to spoil her and going to bed at her usual time is not going to happen.  But they keep her up so late and it wouldn't bother me if it didn't cause me problems the next night.  It's a pattern every time she goes over its hell the next night or two.  She is so over tired she fights going to sleep.  Starts throwing a fit and rips off her pjs if I get them on.  It's not this hard normally.  Even my dh notices and when I talk to my parents about it they brush it off.  My mom sleeps in the spare room with her and let's her fall asleep to the tv.  She won't do a normal bed routine with her.  No story and then lights out.  DD doesn't fall asleep easy when the tv is on either she fights staying awake.  Thanks for letting me vent.
