A penny for my thoughts

[brutalbunny]

I really hope I do get to meet my mother-in-law today. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to like her or not. I guess I'll feel whatever Brian feels about her. That seems safest. I learned long ago that this was a touchy subject I shouldn't pressure him about. Still, my curiosity gets the better of me.
I'm nervous. Ridiculously so.

That is scary. When is the last time he saw his mother?

[brutalbunny]

I don't know. Maybe... a year ago. More than that. Sometime when we were broken up last Summer she stopped by his work

Did you get to meet her?

[brutalbunny]

Yes/ It went over mostly well.
The only thing that irked me was when I made a joke about how I can't cook and she said something like "well isn't that part of what being a wife is" or something like that. and I explained to her that we do that together and how it wouldn't be fair if I had to go to school full-time, work part-time, and then come home and be a fulltime housekeeper. And she said to Brian "And how do you feel about that?" as though I was this terrible person.

When she said that comment about it being what a wife does, I wanted to say "And don't mother's take care of their children and not choose their addiction over their own son?" of course I didnt.
But that really bothered me.

I get the impression that she thinks I'm a bit odd.

after how long you two dated and now you've been married for how long and you havent ever met her? that's insane.

[brutalbunny]

That was the first time Brian spent any real-time w/ her since he was a little kid. He harbors some resentment towards her and the situation she put him in.
