[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 630685, member: 1514"] I think she will come around. Believe me, when she has that child, and as that child gets older into those terrible two's, she will really begin to understand what being a mother is all about. I went to help my daughter in law (middle son's wife) when they had their first baby. I am physically disabled and I did my very best to do all I could for them. She was breast feeding the baby and she had had a c- section so she was sleeping on the couch and I was sleeping on a mattress on the floor. They only had a small one bedroom and my son was still a Marine and was working very long hours. They didnt get any vacation for having a baby in the military. I stayed for 2 weeks. All I heard when I got home was about what I didnt do. The last day evidently I forgot to empty the trash can. I dont know if I did or not. I didnt scrub the kitchen top to bottom. Hello, I can barely clean anything at all. Now it wasnt my son who told me this but the word got back to me anyway...well I think he told me that she complained and her brother complained. Oh I was mad. I swore then I wouldnt do a darned thing for her again. I havent done much. After all these years things have gotten some better and she has come to realize that I am who I am. The fall of 08 was a really horrible time in our family. They got together in late 05 I think. In the fall of 08, I almost died of meningitis and her mother did die while I was still in the hospital. I know now she wouldnt say the same things. She has two kids now and knows things arent as simple as she thought before she had kids. [/QUOTE]
