The boys are her only grandkids. But her mom is trying to play favorites between her kids, but her kids are still staying friendly, just ruining SIL's relationship with them. I almost think her mother resented her getting her own life (they were really close before) and doing well, so it punishing her for it. It's fucked up.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Is mumps the one that makes guys sterile as adults? Way to cause future therpy bills, parents!!
Generally, people who get it as kids are OK. It's guys who get it as adults (or at least teenagers) who are at risk of becoming sterile, and that's actually not as common as it was once thought.

sounds to me like they were trying to hurt her. I don't know any grandmother who wouldn't remember their grandchildren.
I can kind of picture my bad grandma doing this (though I don't know that she ever did). And it would have been 100 percent a slam at my mother.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Generally, people who get it as kids are OK. It's guys who get it as adults (or at least teenagers) who are at risk of becoming sterile, and that's actually not as common as it was once thought.
I just remember the quote from M*A*S*H, "if you get it as a kid, you don't get it as an adult. If you get it as an adult, you don't get kids."
sarameg, that is asstastic.
Argued with my twin sister tonight. I'm apparently "too militant." In my political views and how I express them.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Family rifts can be intense. DH has absolutely no contact with his maternal grandfather. Nor does his mom. Nor do any of her siblings at this point. He cut off the family after their mother died and he remarried. Forget about not knowing the names of his great grand children. He doesn't even know he has any.
