@thebird I can sympathize.

My wife cut off her mother about 5 and a half years ago, when our second child was about 6 months old.

MIL was/is a malignant narcissist, and I supported my wife's decision wholeheartedly.

It's been more than 5 years of pure bliss. No more holiday craptaculars. And no more having to put up with her coming over unannounced.

I remember when our first child was a few months old. My wife was changing him and, for whatever reason, that offended her mother, who ended up calling my wife, her own daughter, a bitch.

I took her by the elbow and walked her out of our home, thanking her for stopping by. She tried to force her way back in, but palm-pushed her in the chest, and told her that her visit was over. She was in a time out for a few weeks, but she also realized at that point that I had her number. She was a bit more careful with her attitude after that, but would sometimes slip.

I never pushed for my wife to cut her off, but when she decided to do so, I will confess to throwing myself a little party involving a cigar and some fine single malt scotch.

Sorry. It was Ashes to Ashes where I had the Thunder staff bit.

Due Rewards was Big Bad Wolf.

My bad.

It really has been too long.

@thebird Yeah, that can definitely be a problem.

I wish you the best in this and congratulations on the impending arrival of hell.

Our first one was what we now affectionately refer to as the decoy baby. Everything was easy with him. Slept through the night by the time he was 6 weeks old. We could go anywhere with him.

Then the Antichrist came along, aka our second born. Didn't sleep through the night until he was 6 months old.

Even now, at 6 years of age, he likes to start his day around the ass-crack of 4:30am.

He's re-decorated our kitchen with a permanent marker. I have a curtain in the living room half hanging off the rod because someone wanted to swing around like Spider-Man.

Apparently, you can't return them.
