stay late at work
stay going IN early

lol.

"Get ready....for your blessing....."

So she can kick rocks.
Not paying one single bill but want her input on everything.

wifes family is really fucking cool

her moms however...is nice to me but I can tell they talked because my wife will be super upset.

Its a very weird relationship

My mom does the same
took cutting my mother off to get her mind right but now....

but she def knows how to push my wife's buttons. Not sure what it is about mother daughter relationships but they can get real ugly.

and my MIL and her mother still go at it. It's a cycle.

And she takes full advantage of that

but mostly it's just her mom taking out her frustration because her mom is 93 and mean as shit to her.

LAHD!!! My mom is a pistol (always a victim, loves to delegate, needs plenty of attention when she isn't off gallivanting...except she doesn't tell us anything, but we're supposed to know. We're supposed to be her happiness in the wake of my dad passing 12 years ago. We got families and times are trying/busy).

Her dad (Gotta be in charge of everything, He has learned that his bark ain't enough and there people that WILL challenge you, physically. He's the definition of the "loudest cat in the room....")

At one point in time...my mom and her dad beefed. They aiight now, though. By the way, they are good people from both sides (ha), just see life only from their very own self-centered pov.

I have no complaints.

every time we go to visit or she comes to visit.

She gets it in.

My wife be all "noooo, keep your money!"

I be like "shiiieeeeet you betta take it while you can"

You know how rare it is for Black parents to fund you instead of the other way around?

since she was a teen, showed up to our wedding.

the day before, we all (him, me, my eventually wife, his other daughter & her husband) meet at ihop. he and I get there first. I've never met this guy before, so I'm making nice.

somehow, the convo turns to she and I having kids. this foolio says we should name the kid after him. it took all my withholdings not to sock him dead in the eye.

then on the wedding day, he says to me to take care of his daughter. why, cuz you didn't? that's what I wanted to say, but didn't. I kept it light because this day aint about you, mayne.

luckily head pretty much faded into the background cuz I could see us having issues with him and I would've had some words for him. he's never seen my kids.

He was a colonel in the Marines too.

I kinda don’t want to meet him if he is anything like she describes.

My brother in law met him and said he was copping pleas trying to play the victim.

somehow her mom convinced him to pay for part of the wedding. before the wedding, I don't know the last time my wife saw him.

since the wedding, there's been very little contact.

my wife never met my dad. this cycle is now broken for my kids.

Don't get me wrong, I don't wanna live with em or anything, but we good.

Always supportive. They're glad as hell that I moved out here so I think that keeps them as supportive as possible. Her being away six years got them shooketh.

Both of them stay out of our business for the most part ... but interject with some wisdom when we need it. They got a knack for knowing their places. It's pretty remarkable. My wife and I adore both our parents. We're both lucky.

Breh....

Nuff Said....


uplifting you in prayers

My child's father and I were not in an exclusive relationship when I got pregnant. I never met his parents until after the baby was born.

I have never been so happy to meet such down to earth and easy going people. Old school black folks who keep it real.

It is crazy because my previous relationship that lasted for 7 years and we were deely in love, his in-laws were the WORST. Racist, passive aggressive white people who wouldn't even ask me how I was doing.

God had a different plan!

I’m more surprised when they aren’t. Lol

fil faded out...started a new life.

he still sends my kids money tho.
