COO COO FOR COCO PUFFS

I seriously mean it when I say that, my former Mother-In-Law has lost her mind. We have been vollying nasty E-Mail back and forth, since before Christmas. She asked if, she could take my 11 year old son to Texas, with she and her husband for Christmas. Keep in mind that, I only recently had a Hysterectomy on the seventh of December. I was barely out of the Hospital, and still on pain medication when my Husband received her E-Mail request. I was so "out of it" that, I never even say the E-mail.

She wanted my son to spend both Christmas Eve and Christmas with them and her husband's family. Meaning, his grown children, and their children.Never mind that, he would miss spending Christmas with me, his Step Dad, Step-Brothers, my parents, my Brother, his Father, Step-Mother, and half Sister. As if we all weren't suppose to matter. Just so that, she could spend some extra time with my son. He already spends the week following Christmas with her son, his Father. What more does she want?

Yesterday, I decided to burry the hatchet, by offering up an aploogy via E-mail. I was once again, trying to be the bigger person. I asked her jokingly if, she was crazy and had been drinking. This was regarding her request for, my son over the Holidays that is. I've known the woman for 16 years. I thought that, she wouldn't have taken my humerous objection so personally. How else should I have put it? Should I have been nasty? How should I have reacted to such an outlandish proposal? Ya'll be the judge?
