Quote: As far as I'm concerned, I don't really give a hoot what they think about my sitch. It kind of irritates me that they don't think I'm smart enough to handle things appropriately.
This is something I constantly deal with from my parents. I make a well-informed, adult decision that they don't happen to agree with or fully understand, and it's "stupid." They can be good people, just a bit narrow-minded at times.
Quote: But it really, really upsets my H--at least, with my dad anyway. (He's fed up with my mom, and I can't blame him.) This is kind of a problem since H has said in the past I don't stick up for him (and really been hurt by it), so I want him to know that I do defend him.
Okay, I realize now that's what I meant by the good impression. It's a loyalty issue to me - one that I didn't always give much attention to in the past.
Quote: LOL! This made me laugh!! The funny part of it is, is how truly nuts the woman is. She honestly thinks that she and H were a couple.
The depths of complete insanity that some people allow themselves to fall to always amazes me. Like the conversation at 2:30am when my husband's former OW's current boyfriend called our house to check on our son because "H is never home." WTF?!? How do you know, first of all, especially since he had spent the last three nights before that at our house! People are so weird, and I am so beyond caring about it!

I need to get this tattooed on my forehead.

BIL2 went over to the floor later, and said, "It looks so shiny!"
Awww, see - that's so cute! It's nice to have your shiny floor appreciated.
One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life.
