Re: I’ve had it!! Enough is enough

@Southie

Great points RV. Couple of gentle protests:

1. " we don’t know FIL’s story". That line, IMO, doesn’t belong. For we should go by what we have.
2. Your assumption that OP would complain if FIL gift for baby nnot to her liking is making an unnecessary and unfair assumption abt OP.

OP has come here to vent. So that she doesn’t burst. We all have our limits. While what you stated is logical, it is easier said than done.

Your advice is great. And I hope OP follows it. For her own sake. But do cut her some slack. It is tough to live under same roof with a constantly negative person.

I know people that are hard to be around for even a few hours much less live with them for several months. As I said earlier, I do sympathize with her. I admit it’s easier said than done, but if no effort is made at getting something “done”…it won’t change anything. So, had the baby gifts not been to her approval, she’s been spared of that tension. I don’t recall if she has asked for help in her original post, but if she has, then she has not come here only to vent. Yes, you are right about cutting some slack. Her FIL doesn’t want to cut her slack…he didn’t do it sitting behind a comp all the way in Pak…and he’s not cutting her any slack in her own home. So Op needs to cut herself some slack, she needs to go easy on herself to stay sane.
