The Mother-In-Law

When I confronted my husband the next morning, I was informed that was not a diaper that was a pull-up.  I looked at him and asked him "In what world would that diaper be considered a pull-up?  I was told that I did not know much and his mother assured him that Chrystene wearing this was fine.  Another argument ensued, I told him that she should be completely potty trained at age four and maybe if she had issues with her bladder or kidney problems sometimes would have to wear a pull-up.  I called the pediatrician that morning to make an appointment to make sure that Chrystene was healthy and had no problems.  I understand that children can be bed wetters my younger sister did for a very long time.  Chrystene did not use the toilet!!!!   My mother-in-law lived one house down from us (NEXT BIG MISTAKE).  I received a phone call asking me to come down, that they wanted to talk to me.  I walked down and knocked on the door.  I was told to politely come in, when I walked in the door I was verbally attacked by both of his parents.  They were screaming at me that I didn't know anything that she was this child's mother, and to let well enough alone.  I walked out the screen door with his mother following me still screaming at me.  She grabbed my arm and turned me to her she went to slap me and I grabbed her wrist and told her flat out if she hit me she better be prepared to go to jail for assault.  My girlfriend and her daughter (my daughter's best friend) were driving by and she slammed on the brakes, and they both jumped out and ran to me.  My mother-in-law was screaming that nobody would believe me that I was a ______ .  My girlfriend who worked for the County Judge told her you already assaulted her by grabbing her that way and I am willing to press charges if Marianne will let me.  She stormed back in the house, I could not believe what had just occured.  In my family nothing like this would have even been thought of.  I thought that nothing could get worse that night, I was wrong.  My husband acted like I was the one who was at fault.  I cried myself to sleep.
