Remember my MIL drama over Xmas???

[Guest guest]

Here is an update on my mother-in-law and the situation surrounding

Xmas (i know some of you remember this). Well, I did agree to go

however she called here the before New Years to set the date for Jan

4th. Well, she brought up her grandkids and I asked her (very

nicely) why she did not come to either of my kids birthday parties or

special events. She got offended and told me that I will never

understand a grandmother's guilt and blah, blah, blah...well I told

her that the only thing that would keep me from any events of my kids

or grandkids is if I was on my death bed. She went on to say that

she would be at the next event even if that involved me threatening

her. Well, the conversation seemed to end on a good note. On Jan

3rd my husband called her to confirm her Xmas dinner on the 4th and

get a time but she was not there. She never called him back and

hasn't since then. Well, his brother told us that she cancelled Xmas

because of what I said and is refusing to speak to us. This just

proves to me an alcoholic's mindset...this is something you did in

grade school when you got mad at a friend. So I guess I ruined her

Xmas (although when we ended our phone conversation she stated that

she was looking forward to seeing us) in her drunken state of mind.

Well, just wanted to update you on this " drama. " Thanks for

listening.
