I'm pretty proud of them thus far. They haven't made any of the mistakes I made at their age.

My brothers family is here. My sisters is in their way... I'm trying to hide out in my room. I really can't take this today. Wonder how long I can hide away.

The mean sister?

Quote: Linda, I am a firm believer that family will treat you the way you allow them to. No one is allowed to say bad things about my kids in front of them. If there is a "concern" they can speak to me in an adult private conversation. I said this out loud to a particular trouble-making person, in front of the boys too, and it only took twice for her to learn. As for myself, unwanted advice is met with politeness- Thank you for your concern, but I'd prefer not to be the topic of conversation today, so let's change the subject. And the boys are off limits too. You don't have to be rude or get mad, but trust me, you will feel better standing up for yourself and kids.

Happiness is not easily measured by those not experiencing it. Don't let them destroy your happiness. You are a gentle and loving person with a huge heart, probably the kindest person I've ever met. People like you need to be defended from others who want to drag them down. I would defend you, but I can't be there, so you need to do it.

The thought of doing it is worse than the actual deed. Trust me. If they thing they are trying to help you, but end up hurting, they should stop. If they don't respect you, no need to respect them. Channel your inner tiger mom!
