This weekend, while at friends, we were chatting about mother-in-laws. \u00a0The good, the bad and the ugly. \u00a0I have always said that when it comes to a mama and her son, there is nothing like it. \u00a0Even the nicest of ladies becomes a little different when her son is involved. \u00a0Of course, I know there are exceptions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have already begun to pray that where my future daughter in laws are concerned, I’ll love them, butt out and mind my own business. (Please God…) \u00a0I think that having a life of your own, one that you love, is a big part of not being a busy body MIL.<\/p>\n

So, about six months before the prom, one of my babes got asked by a girl, who was a senior. \u00a0They are\/were always great friends. \u00a0I was surprised when she asked my son so ahead of time and even mentioned to my son that if something happens and she got asked by someone else, be prepared to be gracious. \u00a0My babe replied that it was no big deal.<\/p>\n

The week of the prom, I asked my son if he shouldn’t be making some plans. \u00a0He said she had not mentioned it at all. \u00a0Sanj felt that he was in the right… that since it was her prom and she asked so should have taken the lead on having a \u00a0conversation with our son.<\/p>\n

The prom goes by. \u00a0Soon on Facebook there are pictures of this girl with her group of girlfriends and their dates. \u00a0There are pictures of this girl with a boy. \u00a0I can’t lie. \u00a0I was livid. \u00a0I stalked her Facebook page whenever one of the boys would forget to sign out. \u00a0I even wrote (as one of the boys) on the picture with her and her boy, “Hey, that doesn’t look like (insert Son’s name).”<\/em><\/p>\n

She never contacted him. \u00a0Never apologized. \u00a0Well… I can’t lie… I have many thoughts. \u00a0I mean, seriously, Chickie… How dare you mess with my boy? \u00a0He is way to good for your beep beep beep…<\/em><\/p>\n

Sigh. \u00a0Sanj laughs every time he hears me determined not to be a meddling MIL. \u00a0I’m not meddling. \u00a0I’m just protecting my babes. \u00a0When they are married or even dating… I know I have no other choice but to mind my own business. \u00a0I’m sure by then my boys becoming men will have no qualms telling me to buzz off if I am crossing the line. \u00a0I am sure they will be strong men. \u00a0I mean I hope they are. \u00a0I hope that if I ever stepped out of line… they’d let me know.<\/p>\n

Oh Lord Jesus… please help me to be a great MIL that loves my DILS. \u00a0Help me to be kind and loving and mind my own business. \u00a0Please help my boys to find and fall for nice, kind women. \u00a0PLEASE!!!<\/em><\/p>\n

Sigh.<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
