More of an exasperated vent...but my MIL and her boyfriend showed us around Tulsa area.  They had a few neighborhood suggestions for us. Across the street. Ahhhhh.  The rest of them were waaaaaayyyy out of our price range.  I can't afford a 750,000 house at 27.  Or a neighborhood that has some houses listed at 2 million. Yikes.

Were they serious? That's ridiculous.

Yes, I think so.  I told her today that we weren't looking for anything anywhere near that expensive.  And really, I'm not looking for anything at all at the moment.  I was just wanting to get a feel for the areas (Bixby/Jenks/BA) that are close to H's job.  H said we weren't even discussing moving until next year.  I'd still like to know where the closest mall is, super target, local delicious restaurants, the aquarium, splash pad, zoo etc. are. . It's so pretty up here.  It still is scary to think about moving from all of my friends and my family, though.

Maybe it is just me but honestly? The aquarium? It isn't good. And very expensive.

It's not just you, for sure.

So my MIL tried to pay for our dinner last night...we ordered food and when it came, she tried to slip the waitress her debit card.  Her boyfriend/fianc?/whatever he is saw her do this, and immediately grabbed the card out of the waitress's hand and said loudly, "NO, we can split it".  The waitress looked a bit puzzled, and so he said "those three on one ticket (me, H and and the two of us on my ticket".  Is it just me or is it really effing weird for him to give a sh!!tt if she pays for her son's family's dinner?  It was SO awkward.  We have no issue paying for ours, but the way he went about trying to control it was really stupid.  

 

Eta: we were watching a movie last night in their theater room, and after 30 minutes, her fianc? started to snore really loudly.  MIL was wide awake (they were cuddling on the floor under a blanket--ew).  Instead of waking him up and telling him he was snoring and/or asking him if he wanted to go to bed, she let him continue snoring like a damned bear for the rest of it.  We think she's scared to speak up and has become pretty accustomed to being a doormat.  H is really annoyed.  Also, he asked if we wanted coke an popcorn when we got home before the movie.  We both said no thank you, that we were still really full from dinner.  Guess who matches upstairs with individual bowls of popcorn and cokes poured into glasses?  Not a rude gesture by any means, but just weird that we said no and he did it anyway.

I had parent orientation Thursday and Friday night. Had a pretty good turn out which is amazing. It was apparently counseling hour for one of the moms though. She told me she is in court ordered anger management. I kept my judging to a minimum until she told me she drank hard core liquor throughout her entire pregnancy with the kiddo I have. She said the drinking wasn't her fault because she was in denial about being pregnant. Ummm no, finding out you're pregnant when you're 8 weeks along and drinking until you have a premature baby at 7 months isn't denial that's called irresponsibility/abuse. I wanted to come across the table and slap her.

Ugh that poor kid.
