Starting your life with the man or woman of your dreams is such a wonderful adventure. You start your marriage off like a good romance movie, novel, or book. You get to that altar look him / her in the eye’s say your I do’s and here we are in love . Building a foundation of love and life together starting our new family . Introducing your family to his family and adding our little ones. In laws a word that has spuned over me like a constant spider web. Sometimes you will have those in laws that are so loving and so wonderful you have to keep them around you and enjoy the moments you spend as your family blossoms.

Then there is the Drama is some in laws and I will say some, you have those moments that you love so much but it’s better if you love them from afar.

I constantly go through this ordeal of who loves the children more or who is doing what or what not. At times I just want to grab a pillow and scream in it. Once I found myself over the dinner table yelling grow up people. It is very difficult being the mediator in the family. You try to keep the family together in peace. I do know that we all love one another but sometimes In laws can bring on the great big D “DRAMA”.

I have decided that I will say my peace if no one listens then everyone must understand that there will be no dinners or family time until we all grow up and get over our differences. I have read stories of families so out of control with their differences that they stop talking to each other for years. I refuse for that to happen and I will do my best to make sure that we stay loving each other and caring . For a family that prays together stays together. I have also come to realize that there will be that one particular in law that has nothing good or positive to say, my best advice is to love them and pray that God softens their heart and mind.
