Still Smiling

[Lorelai]

Thank you Bklyn Mom. I love this board because everyone is so supportive and always points out why it's important not to make assumptions and mind-read. I know my in-laws probably don't know what to say. It just seems like my H's family has a habit of sweeping things under the rug. As I mentioned in my thread though recently, I have tried to put myself in their shoes, particularly my MIL's and asked how I would react if my kids grew up and were WASs at any point. As a mother, I would have to give them my love and support, even if I didn't approve.

I'm just a little more emotional today. The goofy Elf on the Shelf movie actually made me cry earlier, so yeah, I need to just go easy on myself and focus on making this an awesome Christmas for the kiddos.

Good for your for going to Disney! That is so awesome. My kids and I are planning a trip to DL over spring break. We have good friends in SD and it's only a couple of hours away. I always wanted to go with H, but I decided I'm just going to go do the things that the kids and I want to do and give them great experiences and memories, regardless of what he's doing... Tough to get to that place on some days though.
