Being Asked To Fund A Private School

Where does that poster you say you are going to report accuse you of being on drugs and that your house is owned by your pimp?
The way I read it is a perfectly valid suggestion for an excuse that you could use to get your stepson's partner's Mother to stop haranguing you to sell your house.
Doesn't have to be true. Does it?0 -
Right. She has been told it is a big NO by me yesterday after she called round to ours.
She is a nuisance as my SS has said she wants another grand child and keeps on hassling her daughter about it when they really couldn't afford to have another.
My SS says he has told her to stop going on about this but when he isn't around she goes through her daughter.
Obviously she got upset when I said no and mumbled about if we really cared about the lad etc. But like I say I don't see why one person should be a priority over everyone else and I don't intend to help it be that way.
My SS and his partner have been wanting to buy an affordable property for a few years now and when one came up for sale next door to her she assumed they would want to buy it. She even planned knocking a wall down in her garden and making a gate entrance so the lad could walk into hers all the time.
My SS has even told his partner if she doesn't stop with her harassment he will have to think about leaving her as her mother is just driving him mad.Britain is great but Manchester is greater0 -

Maybe your husband should be more assertive when dealing with this woman so that when he says 'no', she knows he really does mean 'no'.
Don't you think this is a bit of a wimpy statement from your stepson?My SS has even told his partner if she doesn't stop with her harassment he will have to think about leaving her as her mother is just driving him mad.
If he loves his partner surely the best way to deal with partner's mother is to stand up to her and be more assertive (see advice above) instead of threatening to leave her - and presumably his child?

I take it you have personal history to gather it was a derogatory comment towards you? As an 'impartial bystander' I did not feel she was being derogatory towards you, just a tongue in cheek suggestion that would stop your family from asking again!
