WHat?? Your Mother-in-law seems like she acts really childish, dont let them discourage you, there is nothing wrong with a person who loves to talk and share ideas, maybe they are scared of you becasue you are smarter and more inteligent...........  |

Gosh, i would totally feel insulted being belittled like that and honestly would not take it. I would confront this mom-in-law, in an adult manner and talk to her about it. thats just not cool to treat someone else like that.  |

I would be hurt too. I am sorry they have said those things to you. Here: BIG HUG! Does that help any? Maybe you should try to make some adult friends near you. Maybe the parents of some of your kid's friends. Then you will have someone to talk with more often. I kinda know how you feel. I am alone alot b/c I am in a new state with not meny friends and sometimes I don't get to talk to meny people so when somebody talks to me I start talking too much. TarHeelGirl  |

aww honey...it's normal to chatter when you get around adult company, especially in your situation with basicly having just the kids to talk to. your mom in law is being rather callous and thoughtless, with a good dose of insensitivity and cruelty thrown in to boot. here's what I suggest: don't go to Indiana. use that time to find yourself some friends. go to the library...heck, go to the gym. go out and find some adult company...peers of your own age group and interests....I wish you the best of lucky honey and take good care of yourself   |

Oh you know what.....I really FEEL for you because this has happened to me too and it still happens all the time. Even when I get on the phone or I am around those that monopolize the whole conversation it somehow comes back that I am the one that talks to much. I too am surrounded by children and my husband and I don't talk to each other much so I sooo can totally relate to craving of adult attention BIG TIME! It hurts my feelings also and when I get upset or offended and become defensive when someone is "bustin my chops" so they call it, I always here, "Oh stop, see now she is mad, we are just teasing you." Well you know what I don't like being teased this way and it would be a different story if I continually teased them about something. It does hurt the person's feelings and its about high time someone realized that!  |

That is really AWFUL!! I know the feeling about not being around adults, I have children with special needs and between therapies and all that goes on, I am pretty much a hermit and don't have much time to spend with adults. When I get around them, I talk my little heart out. I am sorry to hear that your in-laws are so cold hearted like that. The only thing I can think of is 1) Don't talk to much with your inlaws besides civilities. 2) get involved with some parent groups to be around other parents, maybe you'll find a fellow adult to hang with and 3) Don't listen to the harmful things people say. Everyone has an opinion but some opinions are just better ment to be left to ones self. I am sorry to hear your feelings were hurt. Peace & Love  |

well sweetie, I hope you did go to Indiana, and just ignore those insults, I'd rather have someone around me who talks a lot, than someone who you have to drag every word out of....hugs Zema  |
