So...today was a pretty good day with my family, contrary to my previous forebodings about my s-i-l. She's really not a bad sort...not all the time. ;)
We ate...nibblers 'til the meal was ready, exchanged gifts, had dessert, sat around and socialized and generally just had a nice time together...
'Til my mini-me had a mild meltdown. Now granted this wasn't one of his full blown nuclear meltdowns, but it's frustrating all the same and I wish I understood him better. I wish he could make me understand him...I wish he'd open up and tell me what's wrong instead of blowing up making an unnecessary and embarrassing scene.
BTW...I did the day straight - no booze. I had a feeling things were going to get ugly with the kidlet as soon as his dad dropped him off this morning and I wanted my wits about me...my fuse can be as short as his when I'm under the influence of alcohol.
