Well to put it nicely...sm
He isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.:)
How would you have handled this situation?
Yesterday I was at breakfast with my mom and sister. At the table behind us (to my back, I couldn't see it, but could hear what was going on...my mom and sister saw everything) there was a man, a woman, and 2 babies. One of the babies threw her crayons on the floor; the woman was not at the table; the man hit the baby in the head for throwing the crayons on the floor! Now, these were babies, maybe 16-17 months old at most. When the woman returned the baby was crying and reaching for her. She comforted the child and asked why she was crying. The man just said that she *dropped* her crayons on the floor, did not mention that he had hit her in the head. I was so tempted to turn around and say, *and he smacked her in the head for dropping them too*, but I didn't. No one said anything, although there were several other people in the vicinity.
How would you have handled the same situation? You just never know what kind of reaction you'll get when you say something to someone. I'd have hated for the woman to go off on us and start screaming or something, much less the mean ole man. I feel bad for the babies. What, in hindsight, should we have done, in your opinion?
Nicely put, Misha! nm

Sounds like you handled it just fine
especially pointing out that Suzie probably felt the same as she did by being left out. That's all you can really do. You could probably bring it up again in a day or two once she isn't upset about it, but kids will eventually take in the finer points of friendship by observing the adults in their lives. I'm sure MIL was only trying to help make DD feel better and didn't realize that there was a life lesson in play.
Sounds like you handled it "just right". nm

I totally agree in the way they have handled this. sm
Everyone there knows he is guilty, but yet they keep letting him walk away, probably because he said his dad was a lawyer. Do you think his story was truthful? I feel it partially was, but I do think there are parts he left out. Like why did she go into convulsions? Was it alcohol poisoning or was it from trauma? Why did he feel the need to cover up what happened if it was truly like he says? Why did he call his "friend" rather than emergency help? Why did he destroy his shoes? I think the "friend" he called was his dad who is an attorney and he took care of it for him.
you could have asked them nicely to leave; they would have respected that.

I handled it by quit allowing myself to be taken advantage of -sm
Just STOP doing it. Doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result borders on insanity! They obviously do not value what is given, so stop doing it, save yourself the money and the heartache, and move on to more positive things to spend your energy on.
it would work nicely with the plan to punish the
No more casual marijuana use.. That was always a dumb idea.
I would call the parents and explain it nicely to them what happened.

LMAO now, that was my thoughts exactly.
As I said, she obviously always has to have the last word, even if it makes her look even more ignorant. If you're truly happy, you don't need to belittle other people or brag about what you've got.
LMAO, hahahaha!
Do you mean that they got DISFIGURED by this and they got psychologically scarred and it changed their personality and the fact that they were circumcised put them into a 'different' class of human beings?
What is your HIDDEN AGENDA?
