Yes. It is sad. Why do you let her take your kids? Does she buy them gifts and goodies or something??

I have 6 children and she has only taken 2 out by themselves! My oldest and my fourth child have been out with her alone. Sad, huh?
If you think a change can happen and the family is open minded enough (and without EGO) you may be able to hash it out...just be sur eyou are doing it for the right reasons. Expect the unexpected!
Wow mrstewart, that's awful. I think you are a saint to still be in contact with them! Especially after the near-drowning incident. Haven't you been tempted to rip that picture off of her fridge and put it in your purse?

No, not tempted to rip that off her fridge but her head off her shoulders!
Having been on both sides, I'd gently suggest you weigh the situation and determine if bringing it to the surface is worth the results, which could isolate both you and your spouse from family.
Besides, bringing it up to people who are so blatant....really think it will make them change their behavior or just mask it?
Well, MRS, that takes the cake. You are a much more tolerant person than me. I think after my first go-around, I would have cut them off forever.
Well, they behave in the interim long enough for me to get to the point where I start forgiving them and then they pull something new...the older I get the less tolerant I am of their shenanigans.

Well, the minute I was accused of stealing anything, I would have been done with them.
