general1star I am really ticked off at your in-laws for you son. Poor guy. He might not be saying anything (because your raising him right) but I bet he is silently asking himself what he did. Why his grandparents don't like him. Not that you asked for what I would do, but...

general1star I most certainly tell my spouse. One secret leads to another and then another. But more importantly, I don't see any reason to hide it at all. I do believe that keeping it from co-workers is the right thing to do. I think it's very rude to ask someone you work...

jillhill @jillhill (37354) • United States 18 Dec 08
