My mother-in-law lives 2000 miles away -- on several occasion
my wife has expressed frustration with the fact that with my parents
moving near us, my son will develop stronger ties with
my parents -- she can not swallow that! That's why she calls my mom
"bad influence"

My mom was the principal of a 2000 student high school, knows
three languages, has traveled the world, and is totally committed
to the well-being of my son.
