another rant :<

My favorite came form my own mother. " I love all animals, except snakes, They are evil. Look what they did to adam and eve!" Oh and " You put it around your neck! Your effing crazy, it is gonna kill you one day!"

When she gets that way I just take my girl out of her tub and all of the sudden mom is ready to go home.

While I get along fine with my mother-in-law, she drives my husband bat-guano crazy in about three minutes. She's also getting up in years and no doubt one day will require in-home care - we already see signs that her short-term memory is degrading. She has expressed her wishes to live with her daughter since she doesn't want to be eaten by a snake.

We will of course visit often and help as much as we can when the time comes since SIL doesn't live far away from us... but we also breathed a huge sigh of relief that MIL will not be living with us.
