You hit a soft spot with me, a couple of my kids are drama queens too.

One of mine got mad at me because his younger brother was allowed to do something he hadn't been allowed to do. I said, "I grew up. It's your turn."

Most of my kids stopped blaming me for life when they started having kids of thier own. I tell them that if they're going to be mad at someone, be mad at Mama cause I'll forgive them. Makes them feel foolish and they quite it.

I once thought that women had to do something terrible to be the Mother-in-law of legend but I was wrong. You just have to breathe. Endure.

It's your house. They're lucky kids to have a mom that wants them over for dinner twice a month. They're still alive and you're still alive so it could have been worse.

You may have noticed that I'm not real touchy-feely about this kind of stuff. It sounds like we have a family at war but we really don't. We are all very close, I just don't put up with a lot of garbage from people who come to visit me. And I learned a long time ago not to take sides if there is an issue with the married ones.

Hope your next visit is a better one. Nobody can break your heart like one of your kids.
