When sea turtles hatch, they instinctively follow the moon to the ocean. If the condo lights are regular white lights, the turtle babies head away from the ocean and die.

    It's not easy being Green and sometimes it's not easy being a mother-in-law. But yours? She knocks it out of the park

    The idea of a “horrible” or “nightmare” mother-in-law is such a common trope that most would find it pretty lazy if it showed up in a novel or film. Indeed, it’s such a narrative crutch that it’s been overused to death, but, unfortunately, it’s also created the often hurtful stereotype that one’s partner’s parents are out to get you.

    There is no denying that some folks do have horrible parents, but the real issue in these sorts of cases is that they are only horrible to their kid’s partner. After all, most folks are treated relatively well by their mom and dad, but this doesn’t mean their partners are treated the same way. However, there are so many families interested in actually being nice and spending quality time with their kid’s partners.

    After all, it’s not hard to realize that, at the end of the day, every family is weird in its own way, for better or worse. So when you meet them, you are being invited into a very established world, with its own jokes, references and often a very deep history. The best families do what they can to make folks feel included.

    Vacationing With My Boyfriend's Family Tomorrow, His Mom Fills A Hole In My Heart ❤️ (Mine Passed When I Was 18, So Blessed With A Mil Like Her)

    Text messages expressing excitement and safety wishes, highlighting bonding with amazing mothers-in-law.

    My boyfriends parents both, but especially his mom, they treat me like I'm their own. This will be my 3rd vacation with them, we always meet at their house and drive south together. I adore his whole family, I love that they love me too, and his mom is my best friend. Whenever we go to their house for dinner, I can hardly get in the door before she squeals, "my wine drinking buddy is here!" & pours me a glass. 🤣🥰 I lost my mom to cancer when I was 18, and I was very close with her. Nobody will ever replace her, but having such a loving MIL who makes sure to always include me and tell me she loves me, it certainly does some healing things for the soul. ❤️

    This can be good, or bad. If MIL sticks to your design and plans, then OK, one less thing you have to do. BUT if she goes way TF off base and does everything her way which is the diametric opposite of your way, then it is bad bad bad, and now you have to go through the effort to undo her s**t and redo the nursery to your specs.

Haven't done any cross stitch in a long time because I can't see those tiny squares like I used to.
