GEG she may be alive, but I'm sure her silence can be bought.

I have this mental image of GEG as a hardazz cougar who could probably run her very own crime family.

Close. Real close.

She's in a witness protection program.

Steven, this can be very very delicate in some cases. With my family I listen intently usually. Thank them...sort through what I like and don't like, and do what I believe is right. I sometimes share with them what worked for me so they feel like they've contributed in a positive way. But I think most families do this because they have your best interest at heart...and not so much because they think you're not capable of doing the right thing.

The unfortunate thing is so often, belief systems can clash and what one person believes is right..is not what you may think is right. It doesn't mean that either is wrong, but in an in-law situation, it can be pure poison to a relationship if the couple is not in agreement (I say this from experience with ex in-laws....nothing I did would EVER please them and hubby never stood up for me. THAT is a marriage killer). So if it is the inlaws nagging at you..and your spouse just lets them, or sides with them...I'd put my foot down big time.

This is a great post, Lisa. Thank you for sharing that.
