I'm so mad, I want to rampage, get drunk, cuss, spit, punch something!!! Why do I let my husband and mother-in-law get to me this way? Every time she comes to visit she shows her true unchristian nature(she's the one who claims to be a christian, people like her are the reason I am not one!!!!!!) She disrespected my child, her grandaughter. My daughter, her granddaughter, was in a theater show. We invited the grandmom to travel to our home to visit with us and see the show. My daughter and the other actors, all teens, worked so hard this summer on this production of a broadway musical; the result was fantastic for their ages, experience and abilities. I have been so proud of my 14 yr. old for her part in learning the dancing, singing and being there for every practice and every performance (20 performances, open to the public). We went to a Sunday performance, and at the end the audience stood and gave a standing ovation to the cast. My husband and mother-in-law sat in their seats while most of us stood to clap (those who didn't stand were generally very elderly). At the restaurant afterwards, I asked my husband why he didn't stand to clap for his daughter - he said "oh, I was stuck in my seat". His mother defended him, saying "It wasn't her he wasn't standing for". My reponse was... who are you saving your approval for?? She then covered her face with her hands like I was being ridiculous. I can't understand people like that, I hate them, hate them, hate them. Glad I have to go to work tomorrow and not look at their faces, I don't know if I can be civil for the rest of her visit.
