editing my week in the life of with footnotes for h sounds like a great idea in theory...but I'm afraid it will only send the same ole message to him "you're not doing enough".
re. his family...his parents have an odd r infact fil lived with us for almost 3 years (only moved out recently) while mil lived everywhere (a vaca place they were intended to both move to, sils, granmils etc) I've asked h several times if that is the kind of m he wants to have and he states NO...well then I ask "why are we acting like that now?"
fil works to pay the bills and is constantly on errand fixing or painting this or that...Mil's always off shopping or running some errand...in the 3 years that fil lived here not once did he go out with mil or have mil come over to spend time with him.
one of my old threads describes the r's of both h's parents and mine...
