MIL knows our business because w lives in MILs apt. She is more pissed than I am about the weekend stuff. It embarrasses her. I can say I didn't break her so I can't fix her, but MIL raised her and it reflects on her parenting. Warranted or not. I believe it's warranted, for those keeping score.
I agree FY, it is better to know. In years passed I wouldn't have thought twice about it, but going through this makes me really sad about missing out.
I have gotten a life. It is almost entirely tied up with my boys. If nothing else, that has been the blessing in this. We were riding Friday and on one of the trails my oldest was having trouble getting the last section right. Finally, he got it! I could see his smile even with the full face helmet on. He pumped his fist and I pumped mine. I teared up then and still do now. I wouldn't trade that 15 secs for anything. It was priceless!
