Thank heavens my m-in-l is just a memory. :)

-
No, ma'am. It was , a relief!
-
OKay LoL that's funny but I'm glad you are happy now.
-

-
Lol you are so funny but I guess we all sometimes look at someone we don't care for and wish they would move away.
-
That is a very nice way to put it. :)

Yes I agree
Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
Hahaha! OMGosh you must have gotten your mother in-law from the same place where mine came from. Not sure where that was, but I'm too nice to guess. However mine did me a big favor, as I swore that when my kids grew up and got married, I would be the best one ever. And they tell me it worked. : )
Your poem is so cute and it made me smile. No it actually made me laugh!
Great job my friend!

thank you!!! Glad your M-in-L had that effect on you. You are a truly nice person. I was brought up to be polite to adults (weren't we all?) and she strained my politeness to the limit.
Actually, what I saw in the mirror was some body getting old. Yuk. (had to blame it on somebody :)
-
Hey, you gotta blame it on someone. Why not the one who was mean to you? Lol
-
Btw; us nice people are used for target practice! They know your a nice person, so they think they can get by with it.
-
I think that's true. My younger sister was the tough one, not me. She still is.

This is just a jolly little poem that brings smiles. I even think your ex-mother-in-law has stopped by my house. This is a great 'mirror poem.'
I wish you the best in the contest.

thank you so much! It's amazing how many people have met my ex-M-in-L! :)
Thanks for your good wishes.
Comment from Iza Deleanu
Wow, that nagging hag that is constantly on your head and criticizing everything you do. And your conclusion is so funny: "But, I've found a happier solution;
The angst I had been feeling, I forsook.
Don't know why it didn't occur sooner:
Erase her, or for Pete's sake, just don't look.
" Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Hello Author,
I suppose we all hear the ghosts of people from our past, encouraging or harassing us in an attempt to correct some flaw that they can see in us. Sometimes we just need to cut ourselves a little slack. Good luck in the contest.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

actually, that was a bit of silliness (altho she was horrendous); what I actually saw was an aging woman that must've gotten lost in my mirror. Sent her on her way.
Thanks for the good wishes.

I loved your mirror story/poem! I am sorry you are haunted. Mirrors tend to be critical. Thanks for sharing your lovely poem here, and best wishes to you.

Thanks, Jessi.
It's just that when I walk past a mirror, I think, that cannot be me, but sho nuff, it is. :)
Comment from Heather Knight
Hi Katharine,
This is a lot of fun and also sound advice. Mainly the last three lines.
My relationship with my parents-in-law was difficult.
My father-in-law loved me a lot, but he was very temperamental and spent a lot of time at home (ours not his). I wasn't used to that kind of behaviour because I've been brought up to be very independent.
He lived to be 94 and, except for the last year, he was healthy, helpful and happy.
Now I regret the times I got angry at him (I never told him, I told my husband).
Anyway, back to your poem. I admire the fact that you can rhyme and be funny at the same time. My youngest says I have no sense of humour...
Thanks for sharing.

You are so sweet! Abd I'm sure you do have a sense of humor. I always found with kids you have to have humor or you've had it. And anyway, really young ones are usually pretty funny. Teens, a different story (girls, that is) :)
-
Boys aren?t much better, but mine is already changing for the better. Yay!
-
how old are they?
-
My kids? 31, 27 and 17. Do you have children if I may ask?
-
Now you'll know how old I am- yuk.
I have a son and daughter in their 50s. and my one precious granddaughter is 23.
-
I hadn't even thought about it. I'm smiling and even laughing a bit at your yuk.
I know what you mean. I don't like being in my late fifties, but as Michael Caine said in an interview when they asked him how he felt about growing old, 'It's better than the alternative.' xxx
