We spent a few days in Sacramento visiting the inlaws.
What do I want to say about that? Maybe-- "Empathy is a second to second, minute by minute service that we owe to everyone" -- Simone Sinek
My mother in law and my husband have a challenging relationship. Honestly, many people probably have a challenging relationship with the mother-in-law.
Unfortunately, there is a whole lot of not-listening going on. By everyone. It's easy to listen when you like those you are talking to. Empathy is only work, only deep, when you are talking to those you don't get along with.
She let's her dogs pee and poo indoors. She says they are too old to go outside regularly. The smell is terrible. Fortunately, she keeps the spare bedroom door closed at all times, so we could get away from it.
We cleaned the house up. Walked the dogs when we could.
The next time we visit Sacramento, we will stay in a hotel.
