Thank you Cil and Job. i ready his before anyone came by today and I could see it in her actions. I will remember to try not to take it personal. She gets flustered about everything. Someone or something is always making her mad and its guns blazing. Her mom even made a comment about how she was reacting to the kids and to her.
She left for awhile after her parents left and the kids hung out w/me all day then w came back to do laundry this afternoon and was here all night. Tonight she snapped at the kids a few times, it was about them on iPads, shoes, and a dress. They need to listen but she was quick to anger and yell which sets off a cycle, especially w/son. I didn't stop her or say anything about it to her but I did calmly intervene and guided the kids on what needed done.
When her parents and sister that lived w/us came over it was actually a nice visit. I could tell sil was bothered. I'm sure her parents were/are as well, they really liked me.
I was a little shocked she asked to do laundry here. She complained about not having a washer/dryer yet but I just listened and didn't say anything. We had some light conversation, watched a movie w/the kids, and ate dinner while she was here. I guess she's only eating once a day now but at least she gave up the only egg diet quickly. I guess I will keep taking this day to day even though D papers are on their way through the court.
