My husband, Charles Sutton, grew up with his parents away, and he became a live-in son-in-law in my family. Still, he always claimed his mom loved him. His so-called proof was that his mom crossed thousands of miles just to help me look after our kid. I grumbled to Charles that the chicken soup tasted more and more bland, and there was barely any meat on the table anymore since his mom showed up. Charles would always defend his mom. "Mom's making the food bland and light on purpose, so you don't get clogged milk ducts." Then I accidentally saw a post on a local forum where Charles's mom, Linda, was openly talking about saving up money for her other two kids. She even proudly posted that she had $5,500 saved up. She posted: [It's my third month here, stuck taking care of this money-draining little brat. Just put away another $2,000 for my sweethearts. [My petty son and daughter-in-law only give me $2,000 for groceries. I want to save another $60,000 for my other kids. Do I really have to keep waiting on these two for three more years?]
