Life (sighs)

Life is so confusing and frustrating right now. Unfortunately I have been ill most of this spring but am finally starting to get better. Most recently have been dealing with severe bronchitis/pneumonia. At the same time have been trying to get the house rearranged so David will have some room when he comes home for R&R in a couple weeks. It will be

I think probably what is going on with your daughter-in-law is confusion. She is an adult... yet she is not. She feels that she can think for herself and be mature about it but... *sigh* Thoughs years are difficult for all involved. lol >^.^< (kitty face

Thank you Sheena. I understand what you are saying but these rules were worked out - and are a heck of a lot more lenient than David or Annette had - when it was agreed that she would be living here for the school year. Before she and David got married. Yes, she is an 18 year old and married now but that does not change the house rules which she was more than happy to agree to. It has been discussed with her, with her & David, with her & her mother. The only one who now seems to think a 10pm curfew on school nites is unreasonable is Arjorie. The wanting to be informed of where she is going/who with on weekends is pretty lenient since once she leaves who knows where she actually goes - and the only reason we ask to know her plans at all is because we do care about her. We are not trying to keep tabs on her. We have never called where she has said she was going to be to see if she is actually there. Which if we were trying to keep tabs on her we would. We have done everything possible to be understanding and accommodating to her and her

I hope a didn't offend you. My suggestion were made of course with the knowledge I had. Seems she agreed with these things. Shame on her! And yes, she has a lot of growing. I have been telling that to myself and Monte. And no your are not being unreasonable. You I think are being very very very a lot more varys patient. I would simply go crazy, but then I have a lot of more growing up to do and a lot of things on my to-do list for life

I thought you would know that Leopard is like David's baby and Annette looks on her cats as her kids. They are definitely full members of the family. Yes, I am allergic to cats which is why they are banned from my bedroom but that doesn't mean I don't love them. Thank you for caring
