so... i know i said i wouldn't touch on "family" matters or should i just say "in-law" matters because honestly, rarely is there an issue with MY family. they're perfect, you know. okay, kidding. so maybe i'm the nit-picky bitchy daugtherinlaw. who knows. i honestly dont know how chad and i fit together because the families we come from couldn't be any further on each side of the spectrum. i have a hard time relating to his family because they are out there, at least according to the way i have been brought up and naturally i want to live my life the same way that i was brought up (and better, my life wasnt perfectly).
dh has been sportin' an attitude lately. super crabby about anything and everything. little things that you can just have a simple little chat about to resolve them. like, my lovely wife, would you please clean up your craft room so you can at least walk in there? me: sure husband! but no... its more like yell yell yell SCREAM yell yell yell. and you know, with all that yelling, i really don't listen. i mean, who likes to get yelled at anyways? i used to be a yeller, a lot more than now, but what good does it do? just simply explain what is making you mad and why... offer a solution and thats that.
well dh was NOT raised with any of those suggestions. his family is SCREAM SCREAM SCREAM bloody murder scream... then storm off, slam doors, throw things, etc... and ten minutes later, act like nothing happened.
okay so how does anything get resolved? well, i dont think it does?? it just builds up and up and up and adds fuel to the next blow up.
so dh was doing this attitude thing on saturday, we were going to meet bil and his kids at some sports show... well dh kept it up up up and his brother got there and i told him i wasn't going in and i was going home and he couldnt come home until he knocked it off. so i went home and locked the door! yes, it probably was immature but he doesn't get it unless i really put my foot down (at least i think so) and its like he just continues to think that its okay to treat people much less his wife! this way.. so i guess they (him and his bro) came to our house after the show and i was up in my craft room (clearing a path to walk, heehee) and my music was blasting (for motivation to clear the walkway, you know) and so the door was locked and i didnt answer the door!! so OH LORD dh's dad was with them as well... and now they ALL know that i being the horrible wife i am locked my husband out of the house.... and you know what they do with a juicy piece of information like THAT.
blab it, of course. i hear from my SIL that fatherinlaw couldn't stop talking about how i locked dh out. you know, i guess im flattered that they have nothing else to talk about but MY drama, but for real. i dont know.. they drive me insane. its like they are sooo interested in all the drama in our lives, i guess so they have something interesting to talk about with others? im not sure.
i just know that im not one who likes to be talked about. guess i better quit locking my dh out, and not mind so much. i just needed to vent.... all this stupid inlaw drama. this hasn't been the first time and im darn sure it wont be the last.

Oooh, that sucks. There is no other word as apt: it sucks! I absolutely have a no yelling policy. I was yelled at A LOT as a kid and I just think it is inappropriate as an adult to yell at anyone.
{Therapeutic top-of-the-mountain kind of yelling is a different story.}
I'm thinking of you.
