Okay, so get this.

When H was here he told BIL (and me) that he would be coming back every month after July, even if only for 3 or 4 days, so he'd have a better understanding of how things are going here. He really needs to do that. I have a hard time handling his bull-headed B and it's reflected in the finances.

BIL said he told H that he shouldn't come back every month because it really wasn't necessary and we could save the travel expenses.

I was stunned. I listened to him as he continued with his reasoning and finally interrupted, saying, Thanks, BIL, for encouraging my H not to come home. End of conversation.

It's not enough I have to worry about suggestions and advice H gets from his "friends" over there, but now I have to worry about BIL too? I just wonder how he'd feel if his W walked away and I was encouraging her to stay away? Wow. Just wow!

I hope all the Mom's out there had a great Mother's Day.
