So my boundary stomping passive aggressive manipulative in laws are CO and they kept on showing us over and over again why a CO was a good idea.

I sort of think DH is getting some of his own satisfaction from it too. Ok done. :P
Why you ask? Because after dd #2 (husbands first bio child) was born they actively began to
