Wait! I'm not done yet »

Laura was stunned! How could this woman even be asking that type of question? Even before Laura could answer, she kept on going, “but before you getta expecting a baby you have to lose weight, not get too fat or Frankie not be too happy”.

That was the last draw, Laura got up and went to the bathroom and cried her eyes out and the worse part Frank never even knocked on the door to check up on her.

It seemed like forever before she came out, and there was a look of satisfaction on the woman’s face, as she made Laura cry!

“and Frank never said a fuckin’ word” I asked
“he never even apologized in the car for his mother’s behaviour”.

Laura continued with the story as we both lit another cigarette.
After every mouthful of food was taken, she would say how this was her son’s favourite and that how it would be difficult to cook how she cooked. Young women didn’t care as much as her generation about cooking and making their husbands happy.

“Did ya say something after those remarks?”
“I couldn’t, I was afraid I’d burst into tears again”

And so this is how it began, how the in law that she would never call mom, had already won and over the years she would pull punches like this all the time.

Stay tuned for part 4
