This guy is NOT going to accept anything save unless it comes from HIS family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish I could candy coat it for you this holiday season. I have been through the wringer with my,ahem, wife's family nonsense for 13 years and the birth of a daughter made it worse for all on that side are HOARDERS so you see it can be worse but as for me I avoid them like the plague even though they have bought all the lies told to them from the other side. Only advice.Laugh a lot and leave early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It would be refreshing if he would grow up, cut the umbilical cord, and come to terms that you and your child to be ARE his present and future responsibilities and the past associations are nice but have to be put in perspective. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You deserve better than a mommy's boy!View Thread
