chuckle you are all so great!

Thank you so much for the feed back! I do agree it takes a very low self esteem to attack people like that!
As for those nasty two women, my husbands friend's wife is NOT a friend of mine - besides, even before this incident I didnt liked her al all, she does get in my nerves... grrr... that time I only met her by accident on the street, when I was coming back from having a cup of coffee after diner with my mother in law... thats a very portuguese habit, we are always taking expressos, us and the italian... Now about my mother in law, things are very different... she was always kind of supportive when I was working. I know she doesnt aproove me too much, but I dont give it much of a thought...or at least didnt... since we've decided I'd be a sahm, my ds who was usually with her during the day, stoped going to her house every day, and started going there for the whole day once a week, and we all dine there on saturdays. She has been so mean since there - almost a year now...
I hate the victym type, and dont want to give you the wrong impression here: I'm not saying "oh poor me, people are so nasty, poor me...", but believe me, sometimes one wonders... lucky me I have a husband who always stands by me, and supports all my decisions, otherwise... I guess this marriage would have ended a long time ago !!! She is always making subtil remarks, about the way I take care of the kids, and as they are so subtil, I pretend I didnt understand it... as for dh, he wont addmit it and gtells her so - but not in too many words, no one speaks directly in that family...lol. So she has now tryied a different approach : she says it to my son. So now he's been feeling quiet insecure, he's always affraid to get sick, and dont let me get out from his sight, cos he says he's affraid that I die... (he's only 5...that is not natural) and makes remarks on the time he goes to bed, the time nan says he has to go... I'm going nuts! I'm thinking if this doesnt end, he'll stop going there that day of the week he goes, but that would raise other problems... And she does not treat both my kids the same way : she doesnt like my dd (11 yo)...
Bah, just went far away from the subject! Just wanted to thank you for your support... and end up venting! Thanks for bearing with me!

Big to you all,

Fatima
