hiding from the MIL

In Reply to: lol sounds like my MIL - jss
My daughter was reading a book to her grandma. When everyone had left grandma asked me if she had memorized the book. I told her no, she is just a sharp kid. She pressed me further, very concerned. I finally told her the teacher had said she go to special school but we were not interested.
The truth is the teacher said she could skip a grade, but I did not tell MIL that or that teacher has set up a whole advanced program for her instead.
"That is good," she said, Don't want her getting a big head."
Ugh.....

They are hiding behind a computer
They know if they said it to the OPs face, it would be punched. 
I see it on all message boards that I go to. Sometimes the OP is in the wrong but I do think there is a nicer, gentler way to put it.
NOTE: I am not referring to the one below, I have not read it. I am just talking about MB posters in general.
I know, I am wondering if I should just keep hiding (sm)
Hiding from the divorce and hiding the debt. We have seperate accts and if I run out of money I have to ask him for money and tell him what i need. The bills he assigned to me pretty much take up all of my money. I am afraid it is going to make him angry and he will try to punish me out of spite, by taking the kids more than he would have, etc. He has never been around for them but now says he wants 50% custody so he can "get to know the kids". He has lived with them their entire lives, why doesn't he already know them?
hiding money sm
My mom & dad hid money, dad died and mom had a brain problem and died suddenly. It was very unfair, was power of attorney and had a lot of problems. They were not rich, knew they had money hidden but not where, took so much time looking in basement, etc., trying so hard to be sure the next person buying the house wasn't going to inherit it as we "paid" for it by suffering their frugality. About to throw out a very old decrepit table and sister found almost 2 thousand dollars hidden in an unsuspecting drawer. God only knows if they had money buried; if they did, someone else is enjoying it. We grew up in almost poverty and they died with barely enough to bury them. Now you know the new people are certainly not going to say, "look what I found, it's yours." Selfish. Also, money does disintegrate, is eaten by worms, etc., and there could be a fire when all is destroyed. In the yard, unless there are written instructions, forget it!!! If you do tell the kids, then you would be expected to help and should, if they fall upon hard times. What to do? Dunno! Some wrap it up and put it in the freezer, then it's thrown out as unidentified freezer object. We are in a throwaway society, everything will get sheet canned when I die, that I know!
Not hiding my head, in all my years have seen
just too much and do not care to watch any more train crashes. If you lived where I do with the amount of murders shown each and every day on the news, after awhile you just want to watch others news. I live in a place over 5 million people and the onslaught is ridiculous so just watching the daily news is enough for me. There will be no change whether you watch every bit of this or you don’t. I think a tragedy that the news channels gave this killer the space he so never deserved. Therein the shame lies. We have gotten as a nation to want to watch tragedies like this. I choose not to.
It's bizarre regardless of her reasoning. Wonder what else he's hiding?

Then you must have done a lot of hiding out these past 8 years!

I do miss the hiding and hunting for eggs
since my children are a little old for that. We hid eggs in neighbors yards (the ones will small children) when we knew they weren't home. We put candy and coins in all the eggs. One of the houses has a big sign on their front door that says "Thanks Easter Bunny". We were only able to watch one little boy look for eggs, but it was so worth it. Happy Easter to all!
