Whoooo Hooooo - We had Date Night last night.  We haven't left little Princess with anyone since she was born and she is 7 months old so last night we left her with (wierd) MIL and went out on a date.  Our date consisted of going to Sams and buying the next 6 months of groceries (or so it seemed), coming home and unloading them then a very nice visit to Chili's then back home to put the rest of the groceries away - very romantic.  We are getting so old, I expect to start taking Geritol next week.  I did have two beers while we were at Chili's and got drunk, not really, but I was tipsy enough to not have driven.  It was around 11 when I finally jumped online to check out ya'lls blogs then off to bed to make up bean soup eating incident to hubby - he, he.  I'll let ya'll know if Princess is going to have a little brother.

This morning I went to pick Princess up from MIL and had to listen to her bitch for 30 minutes because apparently we don't leave Princess with her enough - WTF?  I thought most grandparents had a problem with the grandchildren being left with them too much.  I explained to her that wasn't my parenting style - to leave my kids with someone else and as I already had two boys when her son married me, she knew what my parenting style was.  She said "I know, but thought it would be different when Princess was born".  I told her that I didn't have differend parenting styles for each of my kids, I parented them the same.  She continued to gripe and complain that she didn't get to see Princess as much as she wanted so I told her that she knew where we lived and was welcome (with a phone call first) to come see Princess whenever she wanted to (this has all been said to her on numerous occasions).  She replied that she probably couldn't find our house - again WTF?  We have lived here since June of 1997 and they only live 13 miles from us and she has driven/been to our house about once a month since we moved here.  I also told her that if she wanted to keep Princess during the day to let hubby know (since he works very close to them) and he would bring her over and since I didn't know what her schedule was, she needed to let me know when she wanted Princess.  She said "Why can't you just ask me to keep her like everyone else's DIL's?"  Again WTF?????  My theory on this is she wants me to ask her to keep Princess so that she can bitch to her friends about how much she has to keep her granddaughter - not going to happen.  Hubby and I didn't make the decision to have another child (yes it was a conscious decision, not an accident) so that someone else could raise them.  I told her this and then told her that if she wanted to raise more children then she should have had more children (hubby is an only child).  She kept going on and on about how we should ask her to keep Princess more often, so I quit arguing with her as apparently she wasn't listening and I wasn't getting anywhere.  Finally hubby told her to "Shut Up" that we weren't going to bring Princess over every weekend for her to keep and if she needed to see her granddaughter then she knew where we lived and was welcome to come see her.  She started arguing with him and he finally said - "If you don't shut up about this then the next time we need to leave Princess with someone, we will call the other Grandmother and let her keep Princess".  Yeah hubby - I so love this man.  I always know that he's got my back.
