What you call drama, I call Wednesday. You need to up your drama game. My sister-in-law's boyfriend once got stabbed by another dude that was sleeping with her.
But seriously, your wife had to know that telling her mom that her son was annoying wasn't going to be received well, didn't she? Either way, I approve. No sense surrounding yourself with someone that's annoying for 3-4 hours when you have other options.
Damn your SIL sounds like a home wrecker.
She did know it was coming but for once spoke up. I am proud of her for that. He is the youngest of four and she is the oldest. He is supposedly super smart so in elementary he got pushed ahead a grade. So at 17 he graduated HS after being self taught home schooled because he was bored in school and never did his homework because he didn't need to do it to learn the material...so he got horrible grades. This summer he told me he was going to take 20 some credits this year at KWood because high school wasn't challenging. I told him he is in for a world of hurt and walked away. On Sunday we were taking family pictures and he was being his normal 17 y/o smartass self and my wife told him to just obey someone for once and her mom told her to stop.
Oh! So my wife does home daycare with her mom. My wife is the organized one and her parents well...never have any money, never communicate and believe that "well it would be okay with me so it must be okay for everyone else." So yesterday my wife was picking up one kid from pre-school and her mom called and said "by the way we are going to the Play Station (a indoor playground place)". All is fine until they get all the kids loaded up and her mom tells her that they don't have any money in their account so can we pay. She has very understanding clients that don't seem to care if they take the kids anywhere. Needless to say we are looking forward to taking it over January 1.
