I wish I could understand too how all this works. These moms refuse to beleive that anything could be wrong with their sons. I am sure they know that they did something wrong when they raised them but cannot admit it. But the whole process would be so much easier if they would try to understand and admit their own mistakes. Working this all out together would be the best solution for all.
Mermaid....I feel for you honey! I too feel exactly the same way! Ah well...mayb time will tell...
You are right when you say to stop the cycle with your children. At least you are able to recognize it and stop it now. I think you are on to something when you say that the LBS is stronger. LL said to me once that I was stronger than he was. I was shocked but I think they realize it themselves. Perhaps our MIL are mean to us b/c they too know that we are the stronger and it is a poor reflection of them and their mothering skills..not that we have criticized them but it is their own interpretation. Then they must take care of their "little boys" and we are the wicked women with which they have been paired like it was God playing a bad joke. Of course it is all hogwash.
You keep practicing on your NYC modeling skillz....Lissett will paint the town red with you in tow!
Hugs to you, angel-girl...
