First...no word from Dr. Wonderful Dentist. I have my notebook with me this morning to make yet ANOTHER follow up call to his personal secretary. Trying not to think about this too much in order to keep my low blood pressure constant.
Last night Wonderful Husband and I had his parents over for dinner. We had not seen them for a while so it was nice to be able to catch up and casually hang out. We had delicious south-side pizza from the joint with carpet on the walls and nice conversation over the meal with his parents.
Right when they were leaving, and it was good that Wonderful Husband pointed this out to me after they left (it is his family after all), his mom said something odd.
First, let me explain that my mother's mother would never let of her children bash their in-laws. Good point and a good practice. Those parents are responsible for making the spouse whom you love and adore. So, I'm going on the record to say "I'm not bashing them. I love them." This is why it is so important that Wonderful Husband pointed it out.
What did she say?
"Okay kids, maybe your dad can bring you over for a visit with Grandma and Grandpa one night this week. What days does your mom go out?"
This could be taken a few ways, don't you think?
Now, neither of us believe that his mom dislikes me. Wonderful Husband thinks it is her way of offering to help when I'm not available. Though, he commented that the way to help us is to take the kids off our hands for a bit so we both can have a break together. Technically speaking, bringing the kids to her house when I'm out for the evening is actually more work for him than helping in the least.
If you just read the statement, as she said it, gosh, you could take it that she'd prefer not to have my company. I'm not going to read into it...it was clearly a odd way to state what she did; her son and I both agree.
