Opinion needed...........

[Lilith]

While I'll agree that giving those types of products to a child is completely wrong except for the glittery stuff, the rules that are in place in someone's house are not "dumb rules".  If someone were to come to my house to stay for, oh say, two weeks, and I specifically say "No parties and no men are to be in my home", it's not a dumb rule, in my opinion.  I would say that for a specific reason. 

My mother would be like yours as well, Lillith; she's probably the same generation.  Different generations see things in different ways.

Weather it be my poor choice of words to use here, the Rule was obsurd.

Other wise i agree RUles in others homes should be Respected and followed and i did not talk back to her on this, i just said okay and thought what ever in my head.

I'd be pretty angry, Harmony. My 10 year old needs to BE a 10 year old. Playing with makeup is one thing. THAT is entirely different. Grandma is a little fucked in the head. People who are fucked in the head shouldn't be allowed near children without supervision, if at all. I know this from personal experience.

ON to the update...........

So we had a very busy Family week end. Last night Lestat went to pick up some things from his mom's, HE was all by himself no me or kids and i guess his step father was also at home this time. He sat with Linda and Mark and asked if she knew what the stuff was. She said no she had no idea the items had pheromones in them, she was told i nthe future to give all products directly to me to look over befor they are given to my daughter. Lestat said she felt really bad and after she heard what was in the products. My step father in law said bluntly in front of my mother in law and lestat, "Shes been weird latley" and equally felt the products were wrong. I guess she thought the edible part was okay casue it ment it was non toxic :blink

I wish i could report more or was there to witness her reactions and state the things i wanted to state but atleast the subject was brought up and she was told that anything is to be ran by me first. Lets hope she follows this.

I would also like ot add, on a more postive note My mother in law in many many ways is a wondeful person, I feel i na way i have not done her justice as a whole as i only rant about her most agravating points. She also was not allways so extreame it does seem as if this has been a slow slow progression over the past 5 years that seems to have excelelrated a bit.

I also am not going to play the dummy here I am aware and hopefully other are now more aware, Grandma/Linda might be getting well aged and may not work properly.

I dont think we are at a point where i can jsut say grandma can not have the kids, but i can see it happening. We have already implicated un spoken rules to the amount grandma does already see the kids, for the longest time it was only every other week, for the most recent we have been letting her have them every other week over night when my father in law is there and every other saturday for luch when my father in law is there. As well as our occasional Family visits. I just cant ripp the kids from grnadma, i think that as well would be equally hurtfull to her and the kids as the two little ones do still love her so much, My oldest would understand as he already thinks Grandma is Nuts.

LOl i was thinking of juts starting the LINDA rant Thread... just to follow along in one place and and see if perhaps she really does seem to be "loosing" it to you guys as well as me. I have never had to deal with any one who was falling into dementia or Alzheimers, i have only dealt with Cancer so i have no idea what the hell i am doing or looking for.

Man this is so Just hard, i have the Lilith who love and understands and the lilith who is a mom who has to protect, and the lilith who is a person going WTF? All over one Linda who has many mnay more personalities them myself.

Well I feel a tiny bit better that they claim she did not know what they were.

If she is indeed getting Alzheimer's it is really really important they tell her doctor because it isn't just forgetfulness - it is a disease that is eventually fatal. They have several new drugs that can treat it and slow the progress of the disease and not only keep her from going further into dementia but can also lengthen her life.

Edit... Never mind...
