If the mother bears your children without tears, without the usual costs of labor, will you call her a freak? Will you call them freaks, or, will you call them gods?

You are right on!!!

I'm not trying to tell you what to do; I'm trying to get you to THINK about what you're going to do. I know thinking hurts (boy, do I), but it's a necessary part of being a successful human being.

Thank you for your advice on my journal post. We avoid MIL as often as possible but it is like dealing with a stalker at times. LOL.

I totally agree!
