James72 @James72 (26790) • Australia 6 Feb 08

jaclyng I tend to speak up in situations like that...I have that nothing stuns and shuts a person up more than just simply telling them that "you are being very rude". They don't generally have a comeback for that. 1.) They can't deny it and 2.) People are usually...

cream97 @cream97 (29087) • United States 3 May 08

jaclyng I think rather then you talking to him (cause I would guess you've already done that a number of times) DH needs to talk to him. He needs to very sternly explain to him that he backs you up 100 percent and doesn't appreciate him disrespecting you and that if...

jaclyng I'm really sorry for your loss. Myabe a great way to honor her memory on Mother's Day anf still feel close to her would be to spend mother's day sharing her favorite things or stories about her with your own children so they can get to know her though you.
