amo_mea_filiis. Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 My father and ESM (evil step mother) have only been here since 1ish this afternoon. They took the kids to the park, movies, and I joined them all for dinner. Dd and ESM are playing speed (awesome card game rec. here!) and ESM spits out the first comment of the visit... "All these things are great (my name), but they can do this kind of stuff after school. If they were in real school, they'd be at the top of their class." :glare: The reason they're doing so well is BECAUSE they're home! She doesn't even know that ds is officially HS'ed and not doing a public cyber any more! LOL. She'd reallly have a fit. (none of her business, so no reason to tell) They're leaving after breakfast tomorrow, so I'll survive, but it drives me nuts that she can't not comment.

Harriet Vane Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 "There's no need to comment on their education. Would you like some of this delicious bean dip?" Or how about, "The kids' education is not up for discussion. How about some bean dip?" Or even, "If you cannot say anything nice, then don't say anything at all." :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie in Ma Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 My family is pretty much all on board now but there were guests at the table on Thanksgiving and it came up, I forget how and the first thing they said, after a prolonged silence was............................. "What about socialization?" sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margo out of lurking Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 My family is pretty much all on board now but there were guests at the table on Thanksgiving and it came up, I forget how and the first thing they said, after a prolonged silence was............................."What about socialization?" sigh :lol::lol::lol: Couldn't help but laugh at this after I saw the ages of your dc (10 and 15) and that you've been hsing for 10 years. "Um, do my kids seem unsocialized to you?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 That's insane. I'd let her have both barrels. I've got a stepmom with a lot of sense, (or just very smart). She says nothing but nice stuff about our kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
