JohnsPrincess Susan's Diary for Nicholas is VERY good. I think it came before the John & Savanna story...but I can't remember. Either way, they go together. I'm currently reading Dear John. The Notebook is also VERY good.

I wanted to go to this outdoor event and bring along the kids so they can have fun. However, I was told by my in-laws that it is better if we do not go because there might be a big crowd and the kids might just get sick. But other...

sudiptacallingu You have every right to feel frustrated. Many grandparents feel over-protective about their grandchild and they forget the fact that times have changed and children need exposure to changed circumstances from early age, so that they don’t grow up insular and...

lyndee22 There's nothing wrong bringing the kids outside. They also need a sort of relaxation and breathing. It's also a way of developing their physical, mental and emotional skills. Do they know that? In-laws are very protective but in a wrong way, sometimes annoying...

Have you encountered in-laws who are bossy or who wants things done when they want it or as they want it? Like all of a sudden they want to go to a certain place and they don't expect no for an answer. Or like the kids to eat rice...

sudiptacallingu I don’t know about good or bad, but I have been a very compromising daughter-in-law. Let me explain: Ten years of marriage and living with my in-laws in a joint family has taken its toll on my mind and physique. At 34, my hair has greyed beyond the normal...

chari_dc i'd like to think i'm a good daughter-in-law. i've so far no rift with my mother-in-law for the past 6 years that her son and i have been married. maybe it helps that we're not living together in the same house. for about 8 months, she did live with us last...

lyndee22 As far as I know, I am a good daughter in-law but not submissive to my mother in-law. I object/reject and state my affirmation when needed. I don't bumped at her, I keep a space for respect and understanding because I value our relationship.

wisconsin26 Actually two years ago my father in law tried that on me. I learned from my husband to stand up for myself. So I did that day. He wanted MY truck home at a certain time. He didn't want me going to MY PARENTS house because my parents and I weren't getting along...

kelly60 My thoughts exactly, if she isn't used to the people who she is left with, it could be a traumatic event for her. I hope that she can get used to them quickly too.

wachit14 Good for you for opening up your mouth. I wonder how she would feel is someone said in her presence "freaking old people". Once when I was shopping without my kids, I spotted a mom who was having a very hard time with her toddler. Apparently, she grew very...

chari_dc i too have kids who are oftentimes loud whenever we're out. i teach them good manners of course, but then i interpret their "loudness" as having self-confidence. it just shows that they are not shy to express how they feel. as for the old lady, i agree with...

foxyfire33 I would have gotten mad too. I probably wouldn't have been brave enough to confront her but that's just me because I hate causing scenes. If you were fine confronting her then I say good for you! That was a rude thing for her to say. People in general need to...

jnallen_487 Well if she would have said something else then I would feel it was okay. But that's just mean to say freaking kids. I get irritated when I'm trying to shop and their are kids crying or screaming but I have a son so I can take it more than others with no kids....
