Introducing...my FIL!

I’ll start by saying that I absolutely LOVE my husbands parents. His mom and dad are the best. His stepmother...not so much. We don’t see eye-to-eye on...well...anything. My husband, oldest daughter, and I were on a FaceTime call with my FIL because he wanted to talk about holidays and if we have any ideas for things we’d like (husband celebrates Christmas and I celebrate Hanukkah...so our kids get both). The oh so wonderful stepmom starts running her mouth about how in “their house, it’s Christmas” and that’s it. Hanukkah isn’t anything to be excited over, blah blah blah.

That’s when my FIL chimed in (talking to the stepmom). “We’re not talking about our house. We’re talking about THEIRS. And regardless, those girls and their holidays have been a part of this family longer than you have”.

Boy was I feeling a little smug after that!! That might have been the highlight of my week right there! 🙌🙌🙌
