My W was more involved than usual with my family this holiday. My siblings, parents, neices and nephews convened in my city this year. My W in the past has spent as little time as possible with my family--a brief dinner appearance. She stayed for dinner for three hours and the next day joined us for a walking tour of our city, including drinks afterwards at my brothers ( a total of three plus ten hours). I saw my mother bristle at some of her comments, but behaved herself. My W can be unintentionally provocative with her comments. My W behaved herself quite well, and enjoyed being with us.
My W teased me in front of the group about my casual landscaping standards. This went on for about ten minutes, with a recommendation that I look into the show Desperate Landscaping. I decided to let it roll, because she's probably right. It didn't seem mean-spirited. That was probably the most trying part of the day.
My W looked into the show's admission criteria. The houses are neglected beyond landscaping, which is not my case. We had a handyman do some work this fall.
