That husband sounds like a keeper to me! I agree with quizzical, just because they are your in-laws, doesn’t mean you are obligated to spend any time with them. You might want to discuss that with your husband, what is enough, what does he think, how can he support you when you have to be with them, etc.

The comments they made were just sick. A baby is a precious thing, regardless of whether it has its natural parents to bring it up or not. My sister-in-law once remarked that her sister’s husband’s children weren’t hers, as if they were somehow illegitimate (sp?). That same sister-in-law remarked while pregnant for the second time (and in front of family including children) that she didn’t want a boy, that she wouldn’t want anything to do with him if she had a boy (guess what, she had a boy). I feel sorry for my nephew.

I am old enough to remember Dick and Jane too, and I think I might have done the same thing, if I wasn’t more interested in the world outside the classroom window. I remember once in about grade 4 being made to sit in the corner because I wasn’t paying attention – I discovered that there was a hole in the curtain so I could still look out :D

My sister is the one who picked on me and made my life very different from an early age, not sure why, I was certainly different and perhaps a challenge for affection from our parents being only a year younger. She ex-communicated me just before my mom passed away about two years ago. I don’t have much contact with my family now, only my father. It’s made looking into my past really difficult because there is nobody to talk to and I can’t remember very much that far back.
