I survived the day with my in laws with only one melt down. The melt down happened before we ever left the house! I am so proud of myself. I didn't even earn a punishment!
She behaved and so did I. I think our last visit ended with both of us getting spanked. I am not absolutely sure she gets spanked but I am pretty sure she does.
It is time to de stress a little. I have a wedding dress to make tomorrow.
good for you- it's the same here.
ReplyDeleteIt was a relief!
DeleteGood for you.
ReplyDeleteI wish every visit would go that smooth!
Delete=)
ReplyDeleteI guess I know what those early morning swats are about. Incentive to behave. They will be in town for about a week. I won't be able to sit down by the time they go home. Yikes! Maybe I should move back to Idaho.
ReplyDeleteI love Idaho! Go there every summer, although never been there in the winter. :D
ReplyDeleteGlad you survived the monster in law!
That is the problem with living there. Winter. Ick. I miss the mountains and wide open spaces but I love being back in the south too. The one disadvantage is that the in laws never visit us but they do visit other family. So that means putting on a smile and playing nice.
DeleteI am fascinated- how do you know she gets spanked too??
ReplyDeleteI know she was spanked for calling her mother a nasty word years ago. From the looks he gives her and her attitude change after a private chat, I am pretty sure she still gets spanked. And he probably uses a belt.
DeleteWard and I'll be thinking about you and sending you tranquility :)
ReplyDeleteI only have to see her one more time. At the wedding. I can do this.
DeleteDragon and his father must still be really surprised and wondering what happened to you.
ReplyDeleteDragon knows I will do my best to behave. It hurts him to see the ugliness and I try my best to avoid hurting him. However, she doesn't always try very hard. The early morning swats were to help me just in case she was on the war path. She can be nasty when she wants to be.
DeleteI am glad things are going smoothly, i hope that continues for the wedding. Sometimes those pre-emptive swats make a HUGE difference.
ReplyDeletegood for you! I have one of those too. I WISH she got spanked!
