#2 sums the whole thing up with: "it's never enough."

It's Never Enough has become my philosophy of life, such as "It's Never Enough" when it comes to work, kids, relationship with God, your spouse, etc. What it means to me is you try to do your best everyday.

My wife's family is all about drama. Impossible to avoid, as she has six sisters, all of them fighting to be the matriarch of the family.

It's gotten to the point where my daughter confided in me that her mother was driving her nuts, as it pertains to our grandson. His parents split up a few years ago, and he splits time with them. Conflicts obviously arise around Christmas and other occasions, and they've done a pretty good job of it...except when "Nana" expects him to be at her family's gatherings.

My daughter even said she thinks my wife is more focused on "her family" rather than "our family". I could only shrug my shoulders. After 35 years, the tune's been played out. To mangle another metaphor, the cake's been baked.

Maybe you're just like my mother...
She's never satisfied...
