In laws ..... Out-lawed!!!!!!!

In Laws.
Im sure anyone and everyone who has them could right a few blogs or two on them and how they affect their lives.

It took Jakob about 4 years to "warm up" to my parents. Now he says " Everything your parents have done or said to us have been right and they have always had our best interests at heart" Although at the time they where doing something he didn't always have that point of view. He feels like he has got a pretty good deal when it come to In laws.
Me, well i would say that i have been blessed with non monster like In laws. Ive never meet my farther In law because he passed away before i meet Jakob. But everyone says that he would have liked me, and I don't have a bitter rivalry with my mother in law on how im not up to her standards on how a mother should be.

I love my mother in law. Love her enough to call her mum and have her present at the birth of Devin and Madison (we were in a different city when Jahshia was born but if we were in Dunedin then she would have been there to) I feel i need to add that disclaimer in right now. Not only to let anyone who may read this know, but also remind myself that i do really love her despite what she may do.
Although at the moment she is not in my "good books" and i don't think im in hers. She is a drama queen in all aspects of the term. She is an amazing child author and playwright and she teaches drama as well. She lives and breaths drama. And if there is no drama happening in her life, then she will create one by causing some sort of an issue. Most of the time when this happens, Jakob and i are the center of the problem.

Her latest one ....

Every school holidays she puts on a childrens play. It is show week starting tomorrow and the last week Jakob has been at rehearsals almost every day. Last holidays, our kids really missed their dad because they hardly saw him. They mad their feelings show by many hissy fits and screams for their daddy. Also Jakob missed them. He loves his kids and loves spending time with them. So this time Jakob would take one child to rehearsals with him so that can have time with daddy. Problem solved. But no. This time my mother in law has decided to pick on this and cause a big drama over it. She somehow feels like her shows have become a babysitter for my kids while i "have a break", and has gotten rather angry about it, which has cause a lot off ill feelings around us. I never asked Jakob to take the kids with him so i can have a break. We talked about it because Jakob wanted his kids with him and his kids need him. Yes a break for me was one of the benefits of him taking one of the three children, but was not at all part of the conversation or made into a point on which it persuaded our views on weather to take a child or not. The only reason why they went with him was to spend time with him. No one else minded that Devin or Jahshia was there.

Im not wanting to go to the show now. I do not feel welcome. I don't even feel that my children are welcome and its a childrens show. Right now i don't feel like i have the emotional energy to deal with her hissy fits and made up dramas.

I could spend hours on talking about the different dramas she had caused and aimed at us over the last 4 years but I do love her and we need to keep the past in the past.

It has left me though with one thought....
Will she ever stop throwing her dramas on us?
