It seems it's ok here to trash relationships but not ok to comment on a good one.

I'm sorry Maria - I have apologized to you on this subject more times than a few. BUT - why is it OK for you to talk about your relationships and not OK for me to talk about mine?

I get along well with my kids too - should I not talk about that?

And don't get me wrong - the family is not Pollyanna here. I've had plenty of screaming fights with my husband and my kids along the way. We are human beings that live together and being human beings there are conflicts along the way. The bottom line is we enjoy each others company even though that takes work to do sometimes.
