Ahhh…my mother in law lives in Africa – that reduces my stress by half. For the rest, I just decide what I can do and what I want to do and what is actually important for me to do…that narrows the list down significantly.

we get similar things as well and none of things I am told I should do ever are feasible or make logical sense.

Oh dear lord. That’s all just entirely unfair. It’s grandparent amnesia. They all seem to recall things having been much better/more orderly/more “right” when they did it, no?

Your MIL’s comment is PERFECT.

But I hear you on the rant. Except it’s not MY parents, it’s the in-laws. Like: “L’s not talking yet? Maybe he should see a therapist” Oh, and he was 18 months.

Now all they want the kids to do is shut up.

You’d obviously be able to spend more time with your children if you worked outside your home. Duh.

Any why don’t you have them signed up for any camps this summer, Sarah? And what about doing reading worksheets with them? Don’t you love them?

If you want them to have lessons, I can give you Meghan’s number. I don’t understand Karate or it’s appleal. Neither of my children took it nor will they. When Ian gets to kindergarten, they will let you know if he qualifies for speech and if he does, he can have it at school like Josh did. No biggie. He can enjoy the summer muttering. Although I’ve not noticed that he mutters. I mutter sometimes, but I don’t think it is related to a speech problem, I do it when I’m pissed off.

Your kids go lots of places, I should know I’m the one who calls you 500 times a day and you are always somewhere other than home for about 350 of those calls.

Just throw the shoes in the car and don’t worry if the kids have them on. By the time you get to the next destination, they’ll put them on.

And sign me up for the clone alert list.
