In Laws

As you all know my MIL passed away this past May.  It has been a tough adjustment, and I miss her.  My husband will never be the same but overall we are doing good, not taking life for granted and celebrating the times we did have with her.  Things are going fairly well in our little world and I am grateful for that.

I do have an interesting story I want to share with you all though.  My sister in law has been watching the son every weekend.  PEG works every weekend and always needs a sitter.  It used to be my MIL, that's actually part of the reason her and my FIL went away for the weekend she was killed.  She wanted to have a break.  Now that she isn't around, PEG at first asked my FIL, but overnights are tough on him, so now she has resorted to my SIL. 

I am glad he gets to spend time with Hubbs' family, and anytime away from PEG or her crazy family is a blessing for the son.  My SIL loves getting to spend time with him, and she is good about calling us so we can video chat with the son etc.  PEG sent a text to hubbs the other day saying, "Your sister and family is so great to help out with the son as much as they do, they always say yes no hesitation when I ask them for help.  I couldn't ask for a better extended family and "in laws"."

In laws?  PEG thinks my in laws are her in laws because she had a son with Hubbs?  I always thought in laws meant you had to be married.  Apparently PEG makes her own rules.  Hubbs told me to blow it off, rolled his eyes at her text and said she is crazy.  It bothered me, I am not going to lie.  I could maybe understand if at some point they had been her in laws but that never happened.  This woman never stops thinking she is part of our family.  I wish she would realize we share a kid who is our family, but the line stops there.  UGH....drives me nuts.
