Semi-rant about sister in law.

[sighyoung]

My sister-in-law waited until my brother had left town, then drove my three-year-old nephew to California in the middle of the night and refused to return with him.

It took a year of litigation to get both sent back to NYC.

I think that goes beyond semi-rant status.

Here's my semi-rant about my sister-in-law. All of hubby's sisters could stand to lose a few lbs. They are not obese but somewhat on the "chunky" side.

I am 5'2" & weigh about 125. I take a cardio/toning class 3 days a week. Everytime I am around these women I get the "skinny [expletive]" back handed compliment. Here's a clue ladies; instead of commenting on my lack of fat how about stepping away from the dinner table & do a little exercising of your own.

Wel done, well done indeed!!!!

I wouldn't suspect my wife capable of this in a million years, but I have ridiculous fears about this kind of thing.

Nobody tells you that part of being a parent is bizarre paranoia. After my son was born a couple of years ago, I had a nightmare that we went out of town for some long period of time and left him with a babysitter or a friend. He wasn't alive when we came back - not touched or cared for in the least and I can't bring myself to describe how I found him. I woke up from that and was pretty much upset the whole day. I am infamously easy-going, so that's a big deal.
