Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Sorry you had such a rough time of it! Have you ever sent them the " Holiday letter " ?? I thankfully don't live that close to my in-laws so I have no worries of visiting them they come here and I get to control the terms....! --- Amy Plucker wrote: > I joined this list and then went on vacation so this > is my first chance to chat. > > Actually it was a vacation to visit my in-laws.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2002 Report Share Posted June 1, 2002 Welcome Amy Your vacation sure didn't sound like much of a vacation...people who just don't get it (or even bother to try and get it) are the pits to be around IMHO...pull up a chair and join us - We ALL " get it " !! (inAus) Mum to: Matt 14yrs (Adjustment disorder/anxiety/depression) 10yrs (SLD???) Jayden 4yrs (Autism) __________________________________________________________________ vacation I joined this list and then went on vacation so this is my first chance to chat. Actually it was a vacation to visit my in-laws. Why do I do these things to myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2002 Report Share Posted June 2, 2002 Hi Amy: I don't think I have introduced myself yet. I have five kids: Enrique, 15, AS; , 13, very depressed about living with Enrique, 15; Sophie, 8, very irritated with her two older brothers but she is pretty NT; Xavier who is always known as Putter, 6, moderately autistic and majorly cute and intelligent; Robbie, 3, and filled with mischief. > > Actually it was a vacation to visit my in-laws.

That is SUCH a poor way of dealing with your family's situation. What on earth do they think THAT will teach your oldest? They keep telling us we neglect him because > we spend all this time with . Mind you, we never > see them so what do they know? This summer alone > is in T-ball, swimming, a play and summer reading at > the library. I don't think he's neglected! Well, what are you supposed to do? Get rid of ? Obviously you are doing the best you can with the situation you have. No one can expect any more, except, apparently, your in-laws. Sorry. > Then they are all worried about 's attraction to > knives, swords, etc. and even went so far as to tell > me that we really needed to watch that or he'll become > a serial killer!

Idiots! > > It rained all but one day -- we couldn't even go > outside. > > They had to watch their soaps so the kids couldn't > even watch their movies most of the day. Sounds like the visit from hell. > > And it's like as soon as my husband walks in the door > he loses all responsibilities to the kids and I. So I > end up doing all the cooking, cleaning, dishes and > watch the kids. My inlaws are both dead and anyway I am separated from my husband. But I think I am glad when I read this kind of thing. > > Then they complain because we have to deadbolt the > doors at all times. They're concerned about getting > out in case of fire. Let's see, the chance of fire > verses the zillion times a day escapes outside > and disappears without the door being locked! Um, are they afraid they won't be able to open a deadbolt in time? Do you have windows? Does it require a key or something for both sides. You made the choice you needed to make and it is your house anyway. A pity they can't understand better. > > They won't play with him or just enjoy him. It makes > me so angry. I'm sorry. Putter is so much fun; it is a pity that people can't always recognize the pleasure of a really different sort of person. > > Thanks for letting me vent, Hey, that's what we're here for!
