yikes. I would NEVER even dream of behaving that way to or in front of my MIL.

There is a woman on another board I am on who is in her 70's and is very old fashioned so her opinions are rarely popular with the younger crowd but some of the responses I have seen them give her are just appalling. Makes me so angry. You don't have to agree but she is their elder and you just don't talk to your elders that way. I mean down right awful...telling ber to shut up and being called an idiot or a moron and such. If I ever caught Hannah talking to an elder like that I would tan her hide...that is unacceptable.

but that's also like people who walk around in public talking as loudly possible and every other word is an F bomb. I HATE that. have some respect for the people around you...and for yourself
