That is really the only one that sticks out to me, but I remember watching them when I was really little.

Well...I try. I go to every family function she invites me to (sm)
many times I take the kids there when my husband is not even with us. I have taken them to her family reunions when he is out of town, birthday celebrations, etc. I have helped her when she has been sick and encourage my husband to visit them more. I have forced my children repeatedly and have driven them there with them crying the entire hour trip and left them anyway. I have not seen my own mother for Christmas in 10 years because my mother-in-law insists that we spend every holiday with her, at her house, and I do it. I invite her here but she is too busy to come most of hte time. I have given her an open invitation to come here any time she wants, spend as much time with them as she wants, spend the night, spend a week, whatever. She only wants them at her house. People have to earn respect and love they don't just get it automatically. I have and continue to work hard to do as much for her as I can and yet she always thanks my husband (her son) for everything, even when he didn't do it. They recently had an anniversary party and I did a lot to help with that too. So say what you will, but I think I do my part in the relationship, it is she who will not compromise.
My only function in life seems to be to serve as a cat bed.
One on my lap/legs, one on my arm, and one at my head grooming my hair.
Function of society at large (sm)
I think you are right to some extent. I personally try hard to keep my word and when I can't, I feel bad about it! I call as soon as I know it's not going to work and I apologize. I try hard not to say I can do something if I am not sure I can. I don't make other plans for that timeframe that I have already committed to see someone during. How is that so hard? If someone is "iffy" about something, they need to say "I don't know, can I get back with you?" Not just say yes and then forget about it. I know a lot of people these days who seem to plan several things for the same time period and then whichever one they feel like doing at the moment gets priority - regardless of who else is inconvenienced or whose time is wasted by it. (I know I'm ranting here...making me feel better...haha.) Then they don't even understand why you are angry or why it is offensive...as though you are being unreasonably demanding to think that someone is going to try to do what they said they would do. Whew.....ok, I'm done. Think I will look at my navel now...lol
If you're attending each function, you bring a gift to each one. nm
