My sons with dh are currently 3 (almost 4) and 9 months. Mil has never met either one of them. We offered her tickets to come meet bs3 when he was born and her response was " just use that money to send SD up to me for a visit instead." She's taken many trips in the nearly 4 years since....just never to meet her grandsons. We send SD and SS up to her about once a year. Last year they spent mos of the summer with her. She had to have spent thousands of dollars on shoes and clothes for them...but not one thing came back with them for our boys.

Wondering if Auteur was safely able to leave GG.

If Houstexstepmom was ever able to resolve the Captains issues...

How Draco26 if faring with his family....

Does anyone still talk to them?

Dh just called me to tell me he spoke to ex-bil (his sisters ex husband) that the in-laws were talking shit about us. We've pulled back from fil and step mil since new years ( I have cut off contact completely) due to their toxic nature.

Apparently they were talking to ex bil about it and said that we are avoiding them because "they are on to us". On to us that we don't treat ss and sd right. Yep, that's it. Couldn't have anything to do with their behavior. Nope, that must be it...they are on to us.

We live in a warm weather state, so spring is coming. Both my boys (3years and 9months) need complete spring/ summer wardrobes. Bs3 can't fit into anything from last summer and the baby doesn't have anything warm weather appropriate that will fit him. So I am going to start shopping this weekend.

I like to pick up a few outfits every paycheck so that its not such a huge financial burden all at once. This way I will have plenty of spring clothes ready to go when mid March hits and its too warm for pans and long sleeves.
