This was my DIL, Autumn's mother speaking to my husband. Since my son is working today, and husband is going to LAST SOCCER GAME of the season, he thought he would offer to bring back the kids with him so they could attend the true festivities for THEIR cousin. Lucas is one of my grandsons. I have NO DOUBT that Christina (DIL) told Lucas' parents EXACTLY why they wouldn't be there! That is her MO. You're right! She's not thinking of anyone except herself, HER control over the rest of us, etc. Husband is beginning to see that it's NOT me or anyone else "coming between" John and himself, Except Christina!!

You are EXACTLY right!!!

Anyone know people in the Mafia???? Just kidding... There are plenty of reasons that I could, maybe even SHOULD call Child Protective Services... That would only make matters worse, though. And I SURE don't want the kids being placed in a foster home, which would be the ONLY logical outcome!
