Oh I am not saying I don't like them ... but they can be very over bearing at times ....
I'm diabetic so I have breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack ...my mother in law told me I ate to much the first time they came to visit ... So the next day I just had breakfast , no snack, lunch, no snack, and dinner , and by the time we were mid way threw dinner, I was starting to have a reaction from not eating the way i'm use to and suppost to ... his family is catholic , which is all fine and dandy , well she keeps pushing me to become one , and when they where here that time, sorta pushed for going to church , which is ok ... but they chose the one close to lunch time and when i'm use to having lunch , so by the time I got out of there I had a horrible headache , so had Earl stop at a resturant and ahve some thing quick ... I smoke they don't, so I smoked out side or in our bedroom and closed the door , 1 wk of lectures was enough I know it's not good for me , but i'm also a responsible smoker i don't smoke in others home , nor in front of others if they don't smoke... also my Father inlaw looked into my checkbook , and offered to teach me how to keep a checkbook, I do all my money stuff online so more then likely to him it looked like jibberish .... I also keep up on laundry every day, some thing is always going cause if i don't I won't get it done , my father in law was telling me to just do it once a week
not me not my style of doing things .. Also first thing I do when I get up is clean the kitchen , and after every meal it get's clean , I know but a clean kitchen is a happy home ...he should of seen my Grandmother , now that woman cleaned the house top to bottom every day to ...
, they like their food plain jane, and we like to shake things up ... oh boy... I made a soup, it's sausage, tators , beans, bacon spices, Earl loves it , I get a little bit of it cause I love it but to much carbs for me , mother in law complained , said it tasted like gumbo ... bleh ...
Second time they came , I sorta stayed out of their way ... was in my bedroom alot
This last year we had Dottie for the first time , she was with us one night , and then the next morning she went off to her foster mothers for a week she had a vacation
.... first words out of my father in laws mouth was , Why'd you get such a big dog
they stayed with a few days then flew down to Mexico for a few days then back up... came back up ranting on about religion ...
Alrighty then here we go again on that lecture , well to me , it's whats in your heart and how you live your life that counts and i'll be dealing with my maker when i pass on ... I don't believe you have to go to the building to be happy ... but that's me , and it's hard for me to sit that hour on those seats that are usually in the churches..
Any way , this summer we went out East for a month and on the weekends we headed to his parents cabin up in the moutains by Towanda PA , was nice actually , actually no lectures of any sort , they have a finished off nice basement with a nice huge bedroom, and a nice huge bathroom and a door to the out side , oh it was so nice , sat out side most the day , got a tad bit warm in the afternoon , Dottie loved it , she was out side from the minute we woke up till we went to bed ... their cabin is surrounded by nothing but the forest and no houses around for like 2 miles , so she romped all day long she was in heaven ... actually enjoyed my visit with them ....
Oh yeah forgot about the first couple times, my Mother in law went in and rearranged my pantry and dishes etc ..
Sorry , but had to get it off my chest
