To Be or Not to Be?

To be or not to be a mother in law from hell? that is the big question...?
I ask this question of myself on a daily basis.
Yesterday, according to my sources (?) my extended family was to finally receive an income. I thought that my daily pilgrimage to the local store would be cheaper than previous days, as I would not have to buy all the little extra things that are "needed". HA a few minutes before I left work I received the dreaded SMS. These always read as follows "WE NEED etc etc." Well quite frankly I DO NOT NEED any of the items that follow on the list! I stubbornly go past the store on my way home and grinning to my self, as if I had won a small victory, drive through the front gate. I am not even out the car when I am asked "Did you not go to the shop" Ehr ..No.."  I see the look of "How could you be so mean..?" Dam, why am I such a push over? I open my purse, hand over the required amount for "WHAT WE NEED" and at the same time pass over my car keys. So instead of saving the money, it has now cost me more, double the petrol and if I had gone to the store myself I could have easily "forgotten" one or two of the items on the list. Today is going to be different! I will stand my ground...why do I not believe myself.
